Deuteronomy 16:18--22:8

16:18
Judges
<08199> (8802)
and officers
<07860> (8802)
shalt thou make
<05414> (8799)
thee in all thy gates
<08179>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee, throughout thy tribes
<07626>_:
and they shall judge
<08199> (8804)
the people
<05971>
with just
<06664>
judgment
<04941>_.
16:19
Thou shalt not wrest
<05186> (8686)
judgment
<04941>_;
thou shalt not respect
<05234> (8686)
persons
<06440>_,
neither take
<03947> (8799)
a gift
<07810>_:
for a gift
<07810>
doth blind
<05786> (8762)
the eyes
<05869>
of the wise
<02450>_,
and pervert
<05557> (8762)
the words
<01697>
of the righteous
<06662>_.
{words: or, matters}
16:20
That which is altogether
<06664>
just
<06664>
shalt thou follow
<07291> (8799)_,
that thou mayest live
<02421> (8799)_,
and inherit
<03423> (8804)
the land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee. {That which...: Heb. Justice, justice}
16:21
Thou shalt not plant
<05193> (8799)
thee a grove
<0842>
of any trees
<06086>
near unto
<0681>
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
which thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)
thee.
16:22
Neither shalt thou set thee up
<06965> (8686)
[any] image
<04676>_;
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hateth
<08130> (8804)_.
{image: or, statue, or, pillar}
17:1
Thou shalt not sacrifice
<02076> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
[any] bullock
<07794>_,
or sheep
<07716>_,
wherein is blemish
<03971>_,
[or] any evilfavouredness
<07451> <01697>_:
for that [is] an abomination
<08441>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
{sheep: or, goat}
17:2
If there be found
<04672> (8735)
among
<07130>
you, within any
<0259>
of thy gates
<08179>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee, man
<0376>
or woman
<0802>_,
that hath wrought
<06213> (8799)
wickedness
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
in transgressing
<05674> (8800)
his covenant
<01285>_,
17:3
And hath gone
<03212> (8799)
and served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
them, either the sun
<08121>_,
or moon
<03394>_,
or any of the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_,
which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)_;
17:4
And it be told
<05046> (8717)
thee, and thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)
[of it], and enquired
<01875> (8804)
diligently
<03190> (8687)_,
and, behold, [it be] true
<0571>_,
[and] the thing
<01697>
certain
<03559> (8737)_,
[that] such abomination
<08441>
is wrought
<06213> (8738)
in Israel
<03478>_:
17:5
Then shalt thou bring forth
<03318> (8689)
that man
<0376>
or that woman
<0802>_,
which have committed
<06213> (8804)
that wicked
<07451>
thing
<01697>_,
unto thy gates
<08179>_,
[even] that man
<0376>
or that woman
<0802>_,
and shalt stone
<05619> (8804)
them with stones
<068>_,
till they die
<04191> (8804)_.
17:6
At the mouth
<06310>
of two
<08147>
witnesses
<05707>_,
or three
<07969>
witnesses
<05707>_,
shall he that is worthy of death
<04191> (8714)
be put to death
<04191> (8801)_;
[but] at the mouth
<06310>
of one
<0259>
witness
<05707>
he shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.
17:7
The hands
<03027>
of the witnesses
<05707>
shall be first
<07223>
upon him to put him to death
<04191> (8687)_,
and afterward
<0314>
the hands
<03027>
of all the people
<05971>_.
So thou shalt put
<01197> (0)
the evil
<07451>
away
<01197> (8765)
from among
<07130>
you.
17:8
If there arise a matter
<01697>
too hard
<06381> (8735)
for thee in judgment
<04941>_,
between blood
<01818>
and blood
<01818>_,
between plea
<01779>
and plea
<01779>_,
and between stroke
<05061>
and stroke
<05061>_,
[being] matters
<01697>
of controversy
<07379>
within thy gates
<08179>_:
then shalt thou arise
<06965> (8804)_,
and get thee up
<05927> (8804)
into the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)_;
17:9
And thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)
unto the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>_,
and unto the judge
<08199> (8802)
that shall be in those days
<03117>_,
and enquire
<01875> (8804)_;
and they shall shew
<05046> (8689)
thee the sentence
<01697>
of judgment
<04941>_:
17:10
And thou shalt do
<06213> (8804)
according to the sentence
<06310> <01697>_,
which they of that place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)
shall shew
<05046> (8686)
thee; and thou shalt observe
<08104> (8804)
to do
<06213> (8800)
according to all that they inform
<03384> (8686)
thee:
17:11
According to the sentence
<06310>
of the law
<08451>
which they shall teach
<03384> (8686)
thee, and according to the judgment
<04941>
which they shall tell
<0559> (8799)
thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_:
thou shalt not decline
<05493> (8799)
from the sentence
<01697>
which they shall shew
<05046> (8686)
thee, [to] the right hand
<03225>_,
nor [to] the left
<08040>_.
17:12
And the man
<0376>
that will do
<06213> (8799)
presumptuously
<02087>_,
and will not hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto the priest
<03548>
that standeth
<05975> (8802)
to minister
<08334> (8763)
there before the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
or unto the judge
<08199> (8802)_,
even that man
<0376>
shall die
<04191> (8804)_:
and thou shalt put away
<01197> (8765)
the evil
<07451>
from Israel
<03478>_.
{and will...: Heb. not to hearken}
17:13
And all the people
<05971>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and fear
<03372> (8799)_,
and do no more presumptuously
<02102> (8686)_.
17:14
When thou art come
<0935> (8799)
unto the land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee, and shalt possess
<03423> (8804)
it, and shalt dwell
<03427> (8804)
therein, and shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
I will set
<07760> (8799)
a king
<04428>
over me, like as all the nations
<01471>
that [are] about
<05439>
me;
17:15
Thou shalt in any wise
<07760> (8800)
set
<07760> (8799)
[him] king
<04428>
over thee, whom the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)_:
[one] from among
<07130>
thy brethren
<0251>
shalt thou set
<07760> (8799)
king
<04428>
over thee: thou mayest
<03201> (8799)
not set
<05414> (8800)
a stranger
<05237> <0376>
over thee, which [is] not thy brother
<0251>_.
17:16
But he shall not multiply
<07235> (8686)
horses
<05483>
to himself, nor cause the people
<05971>
to return
<07725> (8686)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
to the end that he should multiply
<07235> (8687)
horses
<05483>_:
forasmuch as the LORD
<03068>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
unto you, Ye shall henceforth
<03254> (8686)
return
<07725> (8800)
no more that way
<01870>_.
17:17
Neither shall he multiply
<07235> (8686)
wives
<0802>
to himself, that his heart
<03824>
turn
<05493> (8799)
not away: neither shall he greatly
<03966>
multiply
<07235> (8686)
to himself silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_.
17:18
And it shall be, when he sitteth
<03427> (8800)
upon the throne
<03678>
of his kingdom
<04467>_,
that he shall write
<03789> (8804)
him a copy
<04932>
of this law
<08451>
in a book
<05612>
out of [that which is] before
<06440>
the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>_:
17:19
And it shall be with him, and he shall read
<07121> (8804)
therein all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_:
that he may learn
<03925> (8799)
to fear
<03372> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
to keep
<08104> (8800)
all the words
<01697>
of this law
<08451>
and these statutes
<02706>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
them:
17:20
That his heart
<03824>
be not lifted up
<07311> (8800)
above his brethren
<0251>_,
and that he turn not aside
<05493> (8800)
from the commandment
<04687>_,
[to] the right hand
<03225>_,
or [to] the left
<08040>_:
to the end that he may prolong
<0748> (8686)
[his] days
<03117>
in his kingdom
<04467>_,
he, and his children
<01121>_,
in the midst
<07130>
of Israel
<03478>_.
18:1
The priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>_,
[and] all the tribe
<07626>
of Levi
<03878>_,
shall have no part
<02506>
nor inheritance
<05159>
with Israel
<03478>_:
they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the offerings
<0801> (0)
of the LORD
<03068>
made by fire
<0801>_,
and his inheritance
<05159>_.
18:2
Therefore shall they have no inheritance
<05159>
among
<07130>
their brethren
<0251>_:
the LORD
<03068>
[is] their inheritance
<05159>_,
as he hath said
<01696> (8765)
unto them.
18:3
And this shall be the priest's
<03548>
due
<04941>
from the people
<05971>_,
from them that offer
<02076> (8802)
a sacrifice
<02077>_,
whether [it be] ox
<07794>
or sheep
<07716>_;
and they shall give
<05414> (8804)
unto the priest
<03548>
the shoulder
<02220>_,
and the two cheeks
<03895>_,
and the maw
<06896>_.
18:4
The firstfruit
<07225>
[also] of thy corn
<01715>_,
of thy wine
<08492>_,
and of thine oil
<03323>_,
and the first
<07225>
of the fleece
<01488>
of thy sheep
<06629>_,
shalt thou give
<05414> (8799)
him.
18:5
For the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)
him out of all thy tribes
<07626>_,
to stand
<05975> (8800)
to minister
<08334> (8763)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
him and his sons
<01121>
for ever
<03117>_.
18:6
And if a Levite
<03881>
come
<0935> (8799)
from any
<0259>
of thy gates
<08179>
out of all Israel
<03478>_,
where he sojourned
<01481> (8802)_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
with all the desire
<0185>
of his mind
<05315>
unto the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)_;
18:7
Then he shall minister
<08334> (8765)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
as all his brethren
<0251>
the Levites
<03881>
[do], which stand
<05975> (8802)
there before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
18:8
They shall have like portions
<02506>
to eat
<0398> (8799)_,
beside that which cometh of the sale
<04465>
of his patrimony
<01>_.
{that...: Heb. his sale by the fathers}
18:9
When thou art come
<0935> (8802)
into the land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee, thou shalt not learn
<03925> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
after the abominations
<08441>
of those nations
<01471>_.
18:10
There shall not be found
<04672> (8735)
among you [any one] that maketh his son
<01121>
or his daughter
<01323>
to pass
<05674> (8688)
through the fire
<0784>_,
[or] that useth
<07080> (8802)
divination
<07081>_,
[or] an observer of times
<06049> (8781)_,
or an enchanter
<05172> (8764)_,
or a witch
<03784> (8764)_,
18:11
Or a charmer
<02266> (8802) <02267>_,
or a consulter
<07592> (8802)
with familiar spirits
<0178>_,
or a wizard
<03049>_,
or a necromancer
<01875> (8802) <04191> (8801)_.
18:12
For all that do
<06213> (8802)
these things [are] an abomination
<08441>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and because
<01558>
of these abominations
<08441>
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
doth drive them out
<03423> (8688)
from before
<06440>
thee.
18:13
Thou shalt be perfect
<08549>
with the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
18:14
For these nations
<01471>_,
which thou shalt possess
<03423> (8802)_,
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto observers of times
<06049> (8781)_,
and unto diviners
<07080> (8802)_:
but as for thee, the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath not suffered
<05414> (8804)
thee so [to do]. {possess: or, inherit}
18:15
The LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
will raise up
<06965> (8686)
unto thee a Prophet
<05030>
from the midst
<07130>
of thee, of thy brethren
<0251>_,
like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken
<08085> (8799)_;
18:16
According to all that thou desiredst
<07592> (8804)
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in Horeb
<02722>
in the day
<03117>
of the assembly
<06951>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let me not hear
<08085> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
neither let me see
<07200> (8799)
this great
<01419>
fire
<0784>
any more, that I die
<04191> (8799)
not.
18:17
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, They have well
<03190> (8689)
[spoken that] which they have spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
18:18
I will raise them up
<06965> (8686)
a Prophet
<05030>
from among
<07130>
their brethren
<0251>_,
like unto thee, and will put
<05414> (8804)
my words
<01697>
in his mouth
<06310>_;
and he shall speak
<01696> (8765)
unto them all that I shall command
<06680> (8762)
him.
18:19
And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever
<0376>
will not hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto my words
<01697>
which he shall speak
<01696> (8762)
in my name
<08034>_,
I will require
<01875> (8799)
[it] of him.
18:20
But the prophet
<05030>_,
which shall presume
<02102> (8686)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
a word
<01697>
in my name
<08034>_,
which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)
him to speak
<01696> (8763)_,
or that shall speak
<01696> (8762)
in the name
<08034>
of other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
even that prophet
<05030>
shall die
<04191> (8804)_.
18:21
And if thou say
<0559> (8799)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
How shall we know
<03045> (8799)
the word
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_?
18:22
When a prophet
<05030>
speaketh
<01696> (8762)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
if the thing
<01697>
follow not, nor come to pass
<0935> (8799)_,
that [is] the thing
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
[but] the prophet
<05030>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
it presumptuously
<02087>_:
thou shalt not be afraid
<01481> (8799)
of him.
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
<0120>
[life]) to employ
<0935> (8800)
[them] in the siege
<06440> <04692>_:
{for the...: or, for, O man, the tree of the field is to be employed in the siege} {to employ...: Heb. to go from before thee}
20:20
Only the trees
<06086>
which thou knowest
<03045> (8799)
that they [be] not trees
<06086>
for meat
<03978>_,
thou shalt destroy
<07843> (8686)
and cut them down
<03772> (8804)_;
and thou shalt build
<01129> (8804)
bulwarks
<04692>
against the city
<05892>
that maketh
<06213> (8802)
war
<04421>
with thee, until it be subdued
<03381> (8800)_.
{it...: Heb. it come down}
21:1
If [one] be found
<04672> (8735)
slain
<02491>
in the land
<0127>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee to possess
<03423> (8800)
it, lying
<05307> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_,
[and] it be not known
<03045> (8738)
who hath slain
<05221> (8689)
him:
21:2
Then thy elders
<02205>
and thy judges
<08199> (8802)
shall come forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and they shall measure
<04058> (8804)
unto the cities
<05892>
which [are] round about
<05439>
him that is slain
<02491>_:
21:3
And it shall be, [that] the city
<05892>
[which is] next
<07138>
unto the slain man
<02491>_,
even the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>
shall take
<03947> (8804)
an heifer
<01241> <05697>_,
which hath not been wrought with
<05647> (8795)_,
[and] which hath not drawn
<04900> (8804)
in the yoke
<05923>_;
21:4
And the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>
shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
the heifer
<05697>
unto a rough
<0386>
valley
<05158>_,
which is neither eared
<05647> (8735)
nor sown
<02232> (8735)_,
and shall strike off
<06202> (0)
the heifer's
<05697>
neck
<06202> (8804)
there in the valley
<05158>_:
21:5
And the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>
shall come near
<05066> (8738)_;
for them the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)
to minister
<08334> (8763)
unto him, and to bless
<01288> (8763)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and by their word
<06310>
shall every controversy
<07379>
and every stroke
<05061>
be [tried]: {word: Heb. mouth}
21:6
And all the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>_,
[that are] next
<07138>
unto the slain
<02491>
[man], shall wash
<07364> (8799)
their hands
<03027>
over the heifer
<05697>
that is beheaded
<06202> (8803)
in the valley
<05158>_:
21:7
And they shall answer
<06030> (8804)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Our hands
<03027>
have not shed
<08210> (8804)
this blood
<01818>_,
neither have our eyes
<05869>
seen
<07200> (8804)
[it].
21:8
Be merciful
<03722> (8761)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
unto thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
whom thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)_,
and lay
<05414> (8799)
not innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
unto thy people
<05971>
of Israel's
<03478>
charge
<07130>_.
And the blood
<01818>
shall be forgiven
<03722> (8694)
them. {unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc}
21:9
So shalt thou put away
<01197> (8762)
the [guilt of] innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
from among
<07130>
you, when thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
[that which is] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
21:10
When thou goest forth
<03318> (8799)
to war
<04421>
against thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into thine hands
<03027>_,
and thou hast taken
<07617> (8804)
them captive
<07628>_,
21:11
And seest
<07200> (8804)
among the captives
<07633>
a beautiful
<08389> <03303>
woman
<0802>_,
and hast a desire
<02836> (8804)
unto her, that thou wouldest have her
<03947> (8804)
to thy wife
<0802>_;
21:12
Then thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)
her home
<08432>
to thine house
<01004>_;
and she shall shave
<01548> (8765)
her head
<07218>_,
and pare
<06213> (8804)
her nails
<06856>_;
{pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress}
21:13
And she shall put
<05493> (8689)
the raiment
<08071>
of her captivity
<07628>
from off her, and shall remain
<03427> (8804)
in thine house
<01004>_,
and bewail
<01058> (8804)
her father
<01>
and her mother
<0517>
a full
<03117>
month
<03391>_:
and after
<0310>
that thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)
in unto her, and be her husband
<01166> (8804)_,
and she shall be thy wife
<0802>_.
21:14
And it shall be, if thou have no delight
<02654> (8804)
in her, then thou shalt let her go
<07971> (8765)
whither she will
<05315>_;
but thou shalt not sell
<04376> (8799)
her at all
<04376> (8800)
for money
<03701>_,
thou shalt not make merchandise
<06014> (8691)
of her, because
<0834>
thou hast humbled
<06031> (8765)
her.
21:15
If a man
<0376>
have two
<08147>
wives
<0802>_,
one
<0259>
beloved
<0157> (8803)_,
and another
<0259>
hated
<08130> (8803)_,
and they have born
<03205> (8804)
him children
<01121>_,
[both] the beloved
<0157> (8803)
and the hated
<08130> (8803)_;
and [if] the firstborn
<01060>
son
<01121>
be hers that was hated
<08146>_:
21:16
Then it shall be, when
<03117>
he maketh his sons
<01121>
to inherit
<05157> (8687)
[that] which he hath, [that] he may
<03201> (8799)
not make the son
<01121>
of the beloved
<0157> (8803)
firstborn
<01069> (8763)
before
<06440>
the son
<01121>
of the hated
<08130> (8803)_,
[which is indeed] the firstborn
<01060>_:
21:17
But he shall acknowledge
<05234> (8686)
the son
<01121>
of the hated
<08130> (8803)
[for] the firstborn
<01060>_,
by giving
<05414> (8800)
him a double
<08147>
portion
<06310>
of all that he hath
<04672> (8735)_:
for he [is] the beginning
<07225>
of his strength
<0202>_;
the right
<04941>
of the firstborn
<01062>
[is] his. {that...: Heb. that is found with him}
21:18
If a man
<0376>
have a stubborn
<05637> (8802)
and rebellious
<04784> (8802)
son
<01121>_,
which will not obey
<08085> (8802)
the voice
<06963>
of his father
<01>_,
or the voice
<06963>
of his mother
<0517>_,
and [that], when they have chastened
<03256> (8765)
him, will not hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto them:
21:19
Then shall his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>
lay hold
<08610> (8804)
on him, and bring him out
<03318> (8689)
unto the elders
<02205>
of his city
<05892>_,
and unto the gate
<08179>
of his place
<04725>_;
21:20
And they shall say
<0559> (8804)
unto the elders
<02205>
of his city
<05892>_,
This our son
<01121>
[is] stubborn
<05637> (8802)
and rebellious
<04784> (8802)_,
he will not obey
<08085> (8802)
our voice
<06963>_;
[he is] a glutton
<02151> (8802)_,
and a drunkard
<05433> (8802)_.
21:21
And all the men
<0582>
of his city
<05892>
shall stone
<07275> (8804)
him with stones
<068>_,
that he die
<04191> (8804)_:
so shalt thou put
<01197> (0)
evil
<07451>
away
<01197> (8765)
from among
<07130>
you; and all Israel
<03478>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and fear
<03372> (8799)_.
21:22
And if a man
<0376>
have committed a sin
<02399>
worthy of
<04941>
death
<04194>_,
and he be to be put to death
<04191> (8717)_,
and thou hang
<08518> (8804)
him on a tree
<06086>_:
21:23
His body
<05038>
shall not remain all night
<03885> (8799)
upon the tree
<06086>_,
but thou shalt in any wise
<06912> (8800)
bury
<06912> (8799)
him that day
<03117>_;
(for he that is hanged
<08518> (8803)
[is] accursed
<07045>
of God
<0430>;)
that thy land
<0127>
be not defiled
<02930> (8762)_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_.
{accursed...: Heb. the curse of God}
22:1
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
thy brother's
<0251>
ox
<07794>
or his sheep
<07716>
go astray
<05080> (8737)_,
and hide
<05956> (8694)
thyself from them: thou shalt in any case
<07725> (8687)
bring them again
<07725> (8686)
unto thy brother
<0251>_.
22:2
And if thy brother
<0251>
[be] not nigh
<07138>
unto thee, or if thou know
<03045> (8804)
him not, then thou shalt bring
<0622> (8804)
it unto
<08432>
thine own house
<01004>_,
and it shall be with thee until thy brother
<0251>
seek
<01875> (8800)
after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again
<07725> (8689)_.
22:3
In like manner
<03651>
shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)
with his ass
<02543>_;
and so shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)
with his raiment
<08071>_;
and with all lost thing
<09>
of thy brother's
<0251>_,
which he hath lost
<06> (8799)_,
and thou hast found
<04672> (8804)_,
shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)
likewise: thou mayest
<03201> (8799)
not hide
<05956> (8692)
thyself.
22:4
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
thy brother's
<0251>
ass
<02543>
or his ox
<07794>
fall down
<05307> (8802)
by the way
<01870>_,
and hide
<05956> (8694)
thyself from them: thou shalt surely
<06965> (8687)
help him to lift [them] up again
<06965> (8686)_.
22:5
The woman
<0802>
shall not wear that which pertaineth
<03627>
unto a man
<01397>_,
neither shall a man
<01397>
put
<03847> (8799)
on a woman's
<0802>
garment
<08071>_:
for all that do
<06213> (8802)
so
<0428>
[are] abomination
<08441>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
22:6
If a bird's
<06833>
nest
<07064>
chance
<07122> (8735)
to be before
<06440>
thee in the way
<01870>
in any tree
<06086>_,
or on the ground
<0776>_,
[whether they be] young ones
<0667>_,
or eggs
<01000>_,
and the dam
<0517>
sitting
<07257> (8802)
upon the young
<0667>_,
or upon the eggs
<01000>_,
thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
the dam
<0517>
with the young
<01121>_:
22:7
[But] thou shalt in any wise
<07971> (8763)
let the dam
<0517>
go
<07971> (8762)_,
and take
<03947> (8799)
the young
<01121>
to thee; that it may be well
<03190> (8799)
with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong
<0748> (8689)
[thy] days
<03117>_.
22:8
When thou buildest
<01129> (8799)
a new
<02319>
house
<01004>_,
then thou shalt make
<06213> (8804)
a battlement
<04624>
for thy roof
<01406>_,
that thou bring
<07760> (8799)
not blood
<01818>
upon thine house
<01004>_,
if any man
<05307> (8802)
fall
<05307> (8799)
from thence.
