Deuteronomy 16:11

16:11

And thou shalt rejoice
<08055> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

thou, and thy son
<01121>_,

and thy daughter
<01323>_,

and thy manservant
<05650>_,

and thy maidservant
<0519>_,

and the Levite
<03881>

that [is] within thy gates
<08179>_,

and the stranger
<01616>_,

and the fatherless
<03490>_,

and the widow
<0490>_,

that [are] among
<07130>

you, in the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

to place
<07931> (8763)

his name
<08034>

there.

Deuteronomy 16:1

16:1

Observe
<08104> (8800)

the month
<02320>

of Abib
<024>_,

and keep
<06213> (8804)

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

for in the month
<02320>

of Abib
<024>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

brought thee forth
<03318> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>

by night
<03915>_.

Deuteronomy 19:1--20:20

19:1

When the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath cut off
<03772> (8686)

the nations
<01471>_,

whose land
<0776>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, and thou succeedest
<03423> (8804)

them, and dwellest
<03427> (8804)

in their cities
<05892>_,

and in their houses
<01004>_;

{succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}

19:2

Thou shalt separate
<0914> (8686)

three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

for thee in the midst
<08432>

of thy land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

19:3

Thou shalt prepare
<03559> (8686)

thee a way
<01870>_,

and divide the coasts
<01366>

of thy land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth thee to inherit
<05157> (8686)_,

into three parts
<08027> (8765)_,

that every slayer
<07523> (8802)

may flee
<05127> (8800)

thither.

19:4

And this [is] the case
<01697>

of the slayer
<07523> (8802)_,

which shall flee
<05127> (8799)

thither, that he may live
<02425> (8804)_:

Whoso killeth
<05221> (8686)

his neighbour
<07453>

ignorantly
<01097> <01847>_,

whom he hated
<08130> (8802)

not in time
<08543>

past
<08032>_;

{in...: Heb. from yesterday the third day}

19:5

As when a man goeth
<0935> (8799)

into the wood
<03293>

with his neighbour
<07453>

to hew
<02404> (8800)

wood
<06086>_,

and his hand
<03027>

fetcheth a stroke
<05080> (8738)

with the axe
<01631>

to cut down
<03772> (8800)

the tree
<06086>_,

and the head
<01270>

slippeth
<05394> (8804)

from the helve
<06086>_,

and lighteth
<04672> (8804)

upon his neighbour
<07453>_,

that he die
<04191> (8804)_;

he shall flee
<05127> (8799)

unto one
<0259>

of those cities
<05892>_,

and live
<02425> (8804)_:

{head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth...: Heb. findeth}

19:6

Lest the avenger
<01350> (8802)

of the blood
<01818> (8676)

pursue
<07291> (8799)

the slayer
<0310> <07523> (8802)_,

while
<03588>

his heart
<03824>

is hot
<03179> (8799)_,

and overtake
<05381> (8689)

him, because the way
<01870>

is long
<07235> (8799)_,

and slay
<05221> (8689)

him
<05315>_;

whereas he [was] not worthy
<04941>

of death
<04194>_,

inasmuch as
<03588>

he hated
<08130> (8802)

him not in time
<08543>

past
<08032>_.

{slay...: Heb. smite him in life} {in...: Heb. from yesterday the third day}

19:7

Wherefore I command
<06680> (8764)

thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt separate
<0914> (8686)

three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

for thee.

19:8

And if the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

enlarge
<07337> (8686)

thy coast
<01366>_,

as he hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto thy fathers
<01>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

thee all the land
<0776>

which he promised
<01696> (8765)

to give
<05414> (8800)

unto thy fathers
<01>_;

19:9

If thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)

all these commandments
<04687>

to do
<06213> (8800)

them, which I command
<06680> (8764)

thee this day
<03117>_,

to love
<0157> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and to walk
<03212> (8800)

ever
<03117>

in his ways
<01870>_;

then shalt thou add
<03254> (8804)

three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

more for thee, beside these three
<07969>_:

19:10

That innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

be not shed
<08210> (8735)

in
<07130>

thy land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_,

and [so] blood
<01818>

be upon thee.

19:11

But if any man
<0376>

hate
<08130> (8802)

his neighbour
<07453>_,

and lie in wait
<0693> (8804)

for him, and rise up
<06965> (8804)

against him, and smite
<05221> (8689)

him mortally
<05315>

that he die
<04191> (8804)_,

and fleeth
<05127> (8804)

into one
<0259>

of these
<0411>

cities
<05892>_:

{mortally: Heb. in life}

19:12

Then the elders
<02205>

of his city
<05892>

shall send
<07971> (8804)

and fetch
<03947> (8804)

him thence, and deliver
<05414> (8804)

him into the hand
<03027>

of the avenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>_,

that he may die
<04191> (8804)_.

19:13

Thine eye
<05869>

shall not pity
<02347> (8799)

him, but thou shalt put away
<01197> (8765)

[the guilt of] innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

from Israel
<03478>_,

that it may go well
<02895> (8804)

with thee.

19:14

Thou shalt not remove
<05253> (8686)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

landmark
<01366>_,

which they of old time
<07223>

have set
<01379> (8804)

in thine inheritance
<05159>_,

which thou shalt inherit
<05157> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

that the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

19:15

One
<0259>

witness
<05707>

shall not rise up
<06965> (8799)

against a man
<0376>

for any iniquity
<05771>_,

or for any sin
<02403>_,

in any sin
<02399>

that he sinneth
<02398> (8799)_:

at the mouth
<06310>

of two
<08147>

witnesses
<05707>_,

or at the mouth
<06310>

of three
<07969>

witnesses
<05707>_,

shall the matter
<01697>

be established
<06965> (8799)_.

19:16

If a false
<02555>

witness
<05707>

rise up
<06965> (8799)

against any man
<0376>

to testify
<06030> (8800)

against him [that which is] wrong
<05627>_;

{that...: or, falling away}

19:17

Then both
<08147>

the men
<0582>_,

between whom the controversy
<07379>

[is], shall stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

before
<06440>

the priests
<03548>

and the judges
<08199> (8802)_,

which shall be in those days
<03117>_;

19:18

And the judges
<08199> (8802)

shall make diligent
<03190> (8687)

inquisition
<01875> (8804)_:

and, behold, [if] the witness
<05707>

[be] a false
<08267>

witness
<05707>_,

[and] hath testified
<06030> (8804)

falsely
<08267>

against his brother
<0251>_;

19:19

Then shall ye do
<06213> (8804)

unto him, as he had thought
<02161> (8804)

to have done
<06213> (8800)

unto his brother
<0251>_:

so shalt thou put
<01197> (0)

the evil
<07451>

away
<01197> (8765)

from among
<07130>

you.

19:20

And those which remain
<07604> (8737)

shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and shall henceforth
<03254> (8686)

commit
<06213> (8800)

no more any
<01697>

such evil
<07451>

among
<07130>

you.

19:21

And thine eye
<05869>

shall not pity
<02347> (8799)_;

[but] life
<05315>

[shall go] for life
<05315>_,

eye
<05869>

for eye
<05869>_,

tooth
<08127>

for tooth
<08127>_,

hand
<03027>

for hand
<03027>_,

foot
<07272>

for foot
<07272>_.

20:1

When thou goest out
<03318> (8799)

to battle
<04421>

against thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and seest
<07200> (8804)

horses
<05483>_,

and chariots
<07393>_,

[and] a people
<05971>

more
<07227>

than thou, be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them: for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[is] with thee, which brought thee up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

20:2

And it shall be, when ye are come nigh
<07126> (8800)

unto the battle
<04421>_,

that the priest
<03548>

shall approach
<05066> (8738)

and speak
<01696> (8765)

unto the people
<05971>_,

20:3

And shall say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

ye approach
<07131>

this day
<03117>

unto battle
<04421>

against your enemies
<0341> (8802)_:

let not your hearts
<03824>

faint
<07401> (8735)_,

fear
<03372> (8799)

not, and do not tremble
<02648> (8799)_,

neither be ye terrified
<06206> (8799)

because
<06440>

of them; {faint: Heb. be tender} {tremble: Heb. make haste}

20:4

For the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[is] he that goeth
<01980> (8802)

with you, to fight
<03898> (8736)

for you against your enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

to save
<03467> (8687)

you.

20:5

And the officers
<07860> (8802)

shall speak
<01696> (8765)

unto the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What man
<0376>

[is there] that hath built
<01129> (8804)

a new
<02319>

house
<01004>_,

and hath not dedicated
<02596> (8804)

it? let him go
<03212> (8799)

and return
<07725> (8799)

to his house
<01004>_,

lest he die
<04191> (8799)

in the battle
<04421>_,

and another
<0312>

man
<0376>

dedicate
<02596> (8799)

it.

20:6

And what man
<0376>

[is he] that hath planted
<05193> (8804)

a vineyard
<03754>_,

and hath not [yet] eaten
<02490> (8765)

of it? let him [also] go
<03212> (8799)

and return
<07725> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_,

lest he die
<04191> (8799)

in the battle
<04421>_,

and another
<0312>

man
<0376>

eat
<02490> (8762)

of it. {eaten...: Heb. made it common}

20:7

And what man
<0376>

[is there] that hath betrothed
<0781> (8765)

a wife
<0802>_,

and hath not taken
<03947> (8804)

her? let him go
<03212> (8799)

and return
<07725> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_,

lest he die
<04191> (8799)

in the battle
<04421>_,

and another
<0312>

man
<0376>

take
<03947> (8799)

her.

20:8

And the officers
<07860> (8802)

shall speak
<01696> (8763)

further
<03254> (8804)

unto the people
<05971>_,

and they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

What man
<0376>

[is there that is] fearful
<03373>

and fainthearted
<07390> <03824>_?

let him go
<03212> (8799)

and return
<07725> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_,

lest his brethren's
<0251>

heart
<03824>

faint
<04549> (8735)

as well as his heart
<03824>_.

{faint: Heb. melt}

20:9

And it shall be, when the officers
<07860> (8802)

have made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)

unto the people
<05971>_,

that they shall make
<06485> (8804)

captains
<08269>

of the armies
<06635>

to lead
<07218>

the people
<05971>_.

{to lead...: Heb. to be in the head of the people}

20:10

When thou comest nigh
<07126> (8799)

unto a city
<05892>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against it, then proclaim
<07121> (8804)

peace
<07965>

unto it.

20:11

And it shall be, if it make thee answer
<06030> (8799)

of peace
<07965>_,

and open
<06605> (8804)

unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people
<05971>

[that is] found
<04672> (8737)

therein shall be tributaries
<04522>

unto thee, and they shall serve
<05647> (8804)

thee.

20:12

And if it will make no peace
<07999> (8686)

with thee, but will make
<06213> (8804)

war
<04421>

against thee, then thou shalt besiege
<06696> (8804)

it:

20:13

And when the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

it into thine hands
<03027>_,

thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)

every male
<02138>

thereof with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_:

20:14

But the women
<0802>_,

and the little ones
<02945>_,

and the cattle
<0929>_,

and all that is in the city
<05892>_,

[even] all the spoil
<07998>

thereof, shalt thou take
<0962> (8799)

unto thyself; and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8804)

the spoil
<07998>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee. {take: Heb. spoil}

20:15

Thus shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)

unto all the cities
<05892>

[which are] very
<03966>

far off
<07350>

from thee, which
<02007>

[are] not of the cities
<05892>

of these nations
<01471>_.

20:16

But of the cities
<05892>

of these people
<05971>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

doth give
<05414> (8802)

thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_,

thou shalt save alive
<02421> (8762)

nothing that breatheth
<05397>_:

20:17

But thou shalt utterly
<02763> (8687)

destroy
<02763> (8686)

them; [namely], the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_;

as the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee:

20:18

That they teach
<03925> (8762)

you not to do
<06213> (8800)

after all their abominations
<08441>_,

which they have done
<06213> (8804)

unto their gods
<0430>_;

so should ye sin
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:19

When thou shalt besiege
<06696> (8799)

a city
<05892>

a long
<07227>

time
<03117>_,

in making war
<03898> (8736)

against it to take
<08610> (8800)

it, thou shalt not destroy
<07843> (8686)

the trees
<06086>

thereof by forcing
<05080> (8800)

an axe
<01631>

against them: for thou mayest eat
<0398> (8799)

of them, and thou shalt not cut them down
<03772> (8799)

(for the tree
<06086>

of the field
<07704>

[is] man's
