24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, fto fear the Lord our God, gfor our good always, that hhe might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 25 And iit shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

7 When the aLord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, bthe Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations cgreater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the Lord thy God shall ddeliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and eutterly destroy them; fthou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 gNeither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: hso will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall idestroy their altars, and break down their †images, and cut down itheir groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6 kFor thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a lspecial people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were mthe fewest of all people: 8 But nbecause the Lord loved you, and because he would keep othe oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out pwith a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, qthe faithful God, rwhich keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 And srepayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: the will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 12 uWherefore it shall come to pass, †if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee xthe covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will ylove thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: zhe will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: athere shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil bdiseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 16 And cthou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; dthine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be ea snare unto thee. 17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I fdispossess them? 18 gThou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well hremember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 19 iThe great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. 20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send kthe hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. 21 gThou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is lamong you, ma mighty God and terrible. 22 nAnd the Lord thy God will †put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. 23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them †unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. 24 And ohe shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name pfrom under heaven: qthere shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. 25 The graven images of their gods rshall ye burn with fire: thou sshalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be tsnared therein: for it is uan abomination to the Lord thy God. 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is xa cursed thing.

8 All the commandments which I command thee this day ashall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee bthese forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and cto prove thee, dto know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he humbled thee, and esuffered thee to hunger, and ffed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that gman doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. 4 hThy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man ichasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, kto walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, la land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8 A land of wheat, and barley, mand vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land †of oil olive, and honey; 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land nwhose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12 oLest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 pThen thine heart be lifted up, and thou qforget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who rled thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were sfiery serpents, and tscorpions, and udrought, where there was no water; vwho brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with wmanna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, xto do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: yfor it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, zthat he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk aafter other gods, and serve them, and worship them, bI testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, cso shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.

9 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to apass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations bgreater and mightier than thyself, cities great and cfenced up to heaven, 2 A people great and tall, dthe children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak! 3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which egoeth over before thee; as a fconsuming fire ghe shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: hso shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee. 4 iSpeak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but kfor the wickedness of these nations the Lord hdoth drive them out from before thee. 5 lNot for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God hdoth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform mthe word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6 Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art na stiffnecked people. 7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: ofrom the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord. 8 Also pin Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you. 9 qWhen I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount rforty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: 10 sAnd the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the
