1. These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall take heed to do in the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers has given to you, to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth:
|
1. These H428 are the statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 , which H834 ye shall observe H8104 to do H6213 in the land H776 , which H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 of thy fathers H1 giveth H5414 thee to possess H3423 it, all H3605 the days H3117 that H834 ye H859 live H2416 upon H5921 the earth H127 .
|
|
2. Destroying you shall destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
|
2. Ye shall utterly destroy H6 H6 H853 all H3605 the places H4725 , wherein H834 H8033 the nations H1471 which H834 H853 ye H859 shall possess H3423 served H5647 H853 their gods H430 , upon H5921 the high H7311 mountains H2022 , and upon H5921 the hills H1389 , and under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree H6086 :
|
|
3. And you shall break down their altars, and shatter their standing pillars. And you shall burn their Asherahs with fire. And you shall cut down the carved images of their gods, and shall destroy their names out of that place.
|
3. And ye shall overthrow H5422 H853 their altars H4196 , and break H7665 H853 their pillars H4676 , and burn H8313 their groves H842 with fire H784 ; and ye shall hew down H1438 the graven images H6456 of their gods H430 , and destroy H6 H853 the names H8034 of them out of H4480 that H1931 place H4725 .
|
|
4. You shall not do so to Jehovah your God.
|
4. Ye shall not H3808 do H6213 so H3651 unto the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
|
|
5. But you shall seek to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes; for you shall seek His dwelling, to put His name there. And you shall go there.
|
5. But H3588 H518 unto H413 the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 out of all H4480 H3605 your tribes H7626 to put H7760 H853 his name H8034 there H8033 , even unto his habitation H7933 shall ye seek H1875 , and thither H8033 thou shalt come H935 :
|
|
6. And you shall bring your burnt offerings there, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offering, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.
|
6. And thither H8033 ye shall bring H935 your burnt offerings H5930 , and your sacrifices H2077 , and your tithes H4643 , and H853 heave offerings H8641 of your hand H3027 , and your vows H5088 , and your freewill offerings H5071 , and the firstlings H1062 of your herds H1241 and of your flocks H6629 :
|
|
7. And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, with which Jehovah your God has blessed you.
|
7. And there H8033 ye shall eat H398 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , and ye shall rejoice H8055 in all H3605 that ye put H4916 your hand H3027 unto, ye H859 and your households H1004 , wherein H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath blessed H1288 thee.
|
|
8. You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, each doing all that is right in his own eyes.
|
8. Ye shall not H3808 do H6213 after all H3605 the things that H834 we H587 do H6213 here H6311 this day H3117 , every man H376 whatsoever H3605 is right H3477 in his own eyes H5869 .
|
|
9. For you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah your God is giving to you.
|
9. For H3588 ye are not H3808 as yet H5704 H6258 come H935 to H413 the rest H4496 and to H413 the inheritance H5159 , which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 giveth H5414 you.
|
|
10. And you shall cross over the Jordan, and shall live in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit. And He shall give you rest from all your enemies all around; and you shall live securely.
|
10. But when ye go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 , and dwell H3427 in the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 giveth you to inherit H5157 H853 , and when he giveth you rest H5117 from all H4480 H3605 your enemies H341 round about H4480 H5439 , so that ye dwell H3427 in safety H983 ;
|
|
11. And it shall be the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I am commanding you, your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice freewill offerings which you vow to Jehovah.
|
11. Then there shall be H1961 a place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 to cause his name H8034 to dwell H7931 there H8033 ; thither H8033 shall ye bring H935 H853 all H3605 that H834 I H595 command H6680 you ; your burnt offerings H5930 , and your sacrifices H2077 , your tithes H4643 , and the heave offering H8641 of your hand H3027 , and all H3605 your choice H4005 vows H5088 which H834 ye vow H5087 unto the LORD H3068 :
|
|
12. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male slaves, and your female slaves, and the Levite within your gates because he has no portion or inheritance with you.
|
12. And ye shall rejoice H8055 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , ye H859 , and your sons H1121 , and your daughters H1323 , and your menservants H5650 , and your maidservants H519 , and the Levite H3881 that H834 is within your gates H8179 ; forasmuch H3588 as he hath no H369 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H854 you.
|
|
13. Take heed to yourself that you not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;
|
13. Take heed H8104 to thyself that H6435 thou offer H5927 not thy burnt offerings H5930 in every H3605 place H4725 that H834 thou seest H7200 :
|
|
14. but in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command.
|
14. But H3588 H518 in the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 shall choose H977 in one H259 of thy tribes H7626 , there H8033 thou shalt offer H5927 thy burnt offerings H5930 , and there H8033 thou shalt do H6213 all H3605 that H834 I H595 command H6680 thee.
|
|
15. Only with all the desire of your soul you shall sacrifice and shall eat flesh within all your gates according to the blessing of Jehovah your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean one may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the hart.
|
15. Notwithstanding H7535 thou mayest kill H2076 and eat H398 flesh H1320 in all H3605 thy gates H8179 , whatsoever H3605 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H185 , according to the blessing H1293 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 which H834 he hath given H5414 thee : the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 may eat H398 thereof , as of the roebuck H6643 , and as of the hart H354 .
|
|
16. Only, you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it as water on the earth.
|
16. Only H7535 ye shall not H3808 eat H398 the blood H1818 ; ye shall pour H8210 it upon H5921 the earth H776 as water H4325 .
|
|
17. You are not able to eat the tithe of your grain within your gates, and of your new wine, and your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock, and any of your vows which you vow, and your freewill offering, and the heave offering of your hand.
|
17. Thou mayest H3201 not H3808 eat H398 within thy gates H8179 the tithe H4643 of thy corn H1715 , or of thy wine H8492 , or of thy oil H3323 , or the firstlings H1062 of thy herds H1241 or of thy flock H6629 , nor any H3605 of thy vows H5088 which H834 thou vowest H5087 , nor thy freewill offerings H5071 , or heave offering H8641 of thine hand H3027 :
|
|
18. But you shall eat it before Jehovah your God in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, you and your son, and your daughter, and your male slave, and your female slave, and the Levite who is within your gates. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God in all that you put your hand to.
|
18. But H3588 H518 thou must eat H398 them before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 , thou H859 , and thy son H1121 , and thy daughter H1323 , and thy manservant H5650 , and thy maidservant H519 , and the Levite H3881 that H834 is within thy gates H8179 : and thou shalt rejoice H8055 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in all H3605 that thou puttest H4916 thine hands H3027 unto.
|
|
19. Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live on the land.
|
19. Take heed H8104 to thyself that thou forsake not H6435 H5800 H853 the Levite H3881 as long as thou livest H3605 H3117 upon H5921 the earth H127 .
|
|
20. Then Jehovah your God shall enlarge your border, as He has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul desires to eat flesh, you may eat flesh according to all the desire of your soul.
|
20. When H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall enlarge H7337 H853 thy border H1366 , as H834 he hath promised H1696 thee , and thou shalt say H559 , I will eat H398 flesh H1320 , because H3588 thy soul H5315 longeth H183 to eat H398 flesh H1320 ; thou mayest eat H398 flesh H1320 , whatsoever H3605 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H185 .
|
|
21. If the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to put His name there is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which Jehovah has given you, as I have commanded you; and you shall eat within your gates according to all the desire of your soul.
|
21. If H3588 the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 to put H7760 his name H8034 there H8033 be too far H7368 from H4480 thee , then thou shalt kill H2076 of thy herd H4480 H1241 and of thy flock H4480 H6629 , which H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 thee as H834 I have commanded H6680 thee , and thou shalt eat H398 in thy gates H8179 whatsoever H3605 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H185 .
|
|
22. Only, as the gazelle and the hart are eaten, so you shall eat of it; the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
|
22. Even H389 as H834 H853 the roebuck H6643 and the hart H354 is eaten H398 , so H3651 thou shalt eat H398 them : the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 shall eat H398 of them alike H3162 .
|
|
23. Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh;
|
23. Only H7535 be sure H2388 that thou eat H398 not H1115 the blood H1818 : for H3588 the blood H1818 is the life H5315 ; and thou mayest not H3808 eat H398 the life H5315 with H5973 the flesh H1320 .
|
|
24. You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth as water.
|
24. Thou shalt not H3808 eat H398 it ; thou shalt pour H8210 it upon H5921 the earth H776 as water H4325 .
|
|
25. You shall not eat it in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, when you do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
|
25. Thou shalt not H3808 eat H398 it; that H4616 it may go well H3190 with thee , and with thy children H1121 after H310 thee, when H3588 thou shalt do H6213 that which is right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
26. Only, your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take up and shall go to the place which Jehovah shall choose.
|
26. Only H7535 thy holy things H6944 which H834 thou hast H1961 , and thy vows H5088 , thou shalt take H5375 , and go H935 unto H413 the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 shall choose H977 :
|
|
27. And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Jehovah your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out by the altar of Jehovah your God; and you shall eat the flesh.
|
27. And thou shalt offer H6213 thy burnt offerings H5930 , the flesh H1320 and the blood H1818 , upon H5921 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : and the blood H1818 of thy sacrifices H2077 shall be poured out H8210 upon H5921 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and thou shalt eat H398 the flesh H1320 .
|
|
28. Take heed to listen to all these Words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah your God.
|
28. Observe H8104 and hear H8085 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee, that H4616 it may go well H3190 with thee , and with thy children H1121 after H310 thee forever H5704 H5769 , when H3588 thou doest H6213 that which is good H2896 and right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .
|
|
29. When Jehovah your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you are going in to possess them, and you shall possess them, and shall live in their land,
|
29. When H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall cut off H3772 H853 the nations H1471 from before H4480 H6440 thee, whither H834 H8033 thou H859 goest H935 to possess H3423 them , and thou succeedest H3423 them , and dwellest H3427 in their land H776 ;
|
|
30. take heed to yourself that you not be snared to follow them after they have been destroyed before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? And I shall do so, even I.
|
30. Take heed H8104 to thyself that H6435 thou be not snared H5367 by following H310 them , after that H310 they be destroyed H8045 from before H4480 H6440 thee ; and that H6435 thou inquire H1875 not after their gods H430 , saying H559 , How H349 did these H428 nations H1471 serve H5647 H853 their gods H430 ? even so H3651 will I H589 do H6213 likewise H1571 .
|
|
31. You shall not do so to Jehovah your God; for everything hateful to Jehovah, which He detests, they have done to their gods. For they have even burned their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
|
31. Thou shalt not H3808 do H6213 so H3651 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : for H3588 every H3605 abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 , which H834 he hateth H8130 , have they done H6213 unto their gods H430 ; for H3588 even H1571 H853 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 they have burnt H8313 in the fire H784 to their gods H430 .
|
|
32. All the things that I command you, take heed to do them and you shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
|
32. H853 What thing soever H3605 H1697 H834 I H595 command H6680 you, observe H8104 to do H6213 it : thou shalt not H3808 add H3254 thereto H5921 , nor H3808 diminish H1639 from H4480 it.
