sware unto our fathers.
24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good
always, that he might preserve us alive, as it isat this day.
25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the
LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and
hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and
the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and
mightier than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, andutterly
destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither 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: so will
the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images,
and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 For thou artan holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a
special people unto himself, above all people that areupon 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 werethe fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto
your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with 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 isGod, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and
mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he 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 Wherefore 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 the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy
fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he 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: there 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 diseases
of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all themthat hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye
shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will bea snare unto
thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations aremore than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: butshalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto
Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The 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 the hornet among them, until they that are left, and
hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God isamong you, a mighty God and
terrible.
22 And 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 he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from
under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or
gold that ison them, nor take itunto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it isan abomination
to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it:
butthou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it isa cursed thing.
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall 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 these forty years in the
wilderness, to humble thee, andto prove thee, to know what wasin thine heart, whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou
knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live
by bread only, but by every wordthat proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Thy 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 chasteneth his son, sothe LORD thy
God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to
fear him.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains
and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and 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 thingin it; a
land whose stones areiron, 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 Lest whenthou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And whenthy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all
that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein werefiery serpents, and
scorpions, and drought, where there wasno water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock
of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might
humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of minehand hath gotten me this

wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it ishe that giveth thee power to get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it isthis day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and
serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye
would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou artto pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and
mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whomthou
hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God ishe which goeth over before thee; asa
consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt
thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4 Speak 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 for the
wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not 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 doth drive them out from before
thee, and that he may perform the 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 arta stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, andforget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness:
from 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 in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have
destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, eventhe tables of the
covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I
neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on
them was writtenaccording to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out
of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, thatthe LORD gave me the two
tables of stone, eventhe tables of the covenant.
12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which
thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside
out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it isa
stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will
make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two
tables of the covenant werein my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, andhad made you a
molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your
eyes.
