Deuteronomy 4:1-19

4:1

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

unto the statutes
<02706>

and unto the judgments
<04941>_,

which I teach
<03925> (8764)

you, for to do
<06213> (8800)

[them], that ye may live
<02421> (8799)_,

and go in
<0935> (8804)

and possess
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

you.

4:2

Ye shall not add
<03254> (8686)

unto the word
<01697>

which I command
<06680> (8764)

you, neither shall ye diminish
<01639> (8799)

[ought] from it, that ye may keep
<08104> (8800)

the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

which I command
<06680> (8764)

you.

4:3

Your eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8802)

what the LORD
<03068>

did
<06213> (8804)

because of Baalpeor
<01187>_:

for all the men
<0376>

that followed
<0310> <01980> (8804)

Baalpeor
<01187>_,

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath destroyed
<08045> (8689)

them from among
<07130>

you.

4:4

But ye that did cleave
<01695>

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[are] alive
<02416>

every one of you this day
<03117>_.

4:5

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

I have taught
<03925> (8765)

you statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>_,

even as
<0834>

the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

me, that ye should do
<06213> (8800)

so in
<07130>

the land
<0776>

whither ye go
<0935> (8802)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

4:6

Keep
<08104> (8804)

therefore and do
<06213> (8804)

[them]; for this [is] your wisdom
<02451>

and your understanding
<0998>

in the sight
<05869>

of the nations
<05971>_,

which shall hear
<08085> (8799)

all these statutes
<02706>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely this great
<01419>

nation
<01471>

[is] a wise
<02450>

and understanding
<0995> (8737)

people
<05971>_.

4:7

For what nation
<01471>

[is there so] great
<01419>_,

who [hath] God
<0430>

[so] nigh
<07138>

unto them, as the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

[is] in all [things that] we call
<07121> (8800)

upon him [for]?

4:8

And what nation
<01471>

[is there so] great
<01419>_,

that hath statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>

[so] righteous
<06662>

as all this law
<08451>_,

which I set
<05414> (8802)

before
<06440>

you this day
<03117>_?

4:9

Only take heed
<08104> (8734)

to thyself, and keep
<08104> (8798)

thy soul
<05315>

diligently
<03966>_,

lest thou forget
<07911> (8799)

the things
<01697>

which thine eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8804)_,

and lest they depart
<05493> (8799)

from thy heart
<03824>

all the days
<03117>

of thy life
<02416>_:

but teach
<03045> (8689)

them thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy sons
<01121>_'

sons
<01121>_;

4:10

[Specially] the day
<03117>

that thou stoodest
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in Horeb
<02722>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8800)

unto me, Gather
<06950> (0)

me the people
<05971>

together
<06950> (8685)_,

and I will make them hear
<08085> (8686)

my words
<01697>_,

that they may learn
<03925> (8799)

to fear
<03372> (8800)

me all the days
<03117>

that they shall live
<02416>

upon the earth
<0127>_,

and [that] they may teach
<03925> (8762)

their children
<01121>_.

4:11

And ye came near
<07126> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

under the mountain
<02022>_;

and the mountain
<02022>

burned
<01197> (8802)

with fire
<0784>

unto the midst
<03820>

of heaven
<08064>_,

with darkness
<06205>_,

clouds
<06051>_,

and thick darkness
<02822>_.

{midst: Heb. heart}

4:12

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto you out of the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_:

ye heard
<08085> (8802)

the voice
<06963>

of the words
<01697>_,

but saw
<07200> (8802)

no similitude
<08544>_;

only
<02108>

[ye heard] a voice
<06963>_.

{only...: Heb. save a voice}

4:13

And he declared
<05046> (8686)

unto you his covenant
<01285>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

you to perform
<06213> (8800)_,

[even] ten
<06235>

commandments
<01697>_;

and he wrote
<03789> (8799)

them upon two
<08147>

tables
<03871>

of stone
<068>_.

4:14

And the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

me at that time
<06256>

to teach
<03925> (8763)

you statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>_,

that ye might do
<06213> (8800)

them in the land
<0776>

whither ye go over
<05674> (8802)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

4:15

Take ye therefore good
<03966>

heed
<08104> (8738)

unto yourselves
<05315>_;

for ye saw
<07200> (8804)

no manner of similitude
<08544>

on the day
<03117>

[that] the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8763)

unto you in Horeb
<02722>

out of the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_:

4:16

Lest ye corrupt
<07843> (8686)

[yourselves], and make
<06213> (8804)

you a graven image
<06459>_,

the similitude
<08544>

of any figure
<05566>_,

the likeness
<08403>

of male
<02145>

or female
<05347>_,

4:17

The likeness
<08403>

of any beast
<0929>

that [is] on the earth
<0776>_,

the likeness
<08403>

of any winged
<03671>

fowl
<06833>

that flieth
<05774> (8799)

in the air
<08064>_,

4:18

The likeness
<08403>

of any thing that creepeth
<07430> (8802)

on the ground
<0127>_,

the likeness
<08403>

of any fish
<01710>

that [is] in the waters
<04325>

beneath
<08478>

the earth
<0776>_:

4:19

And lest thou lift up
<05375> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

unto heaven
<08064>_,

and when thou seest
<07200> (8804)

the sun
<08121>_,

and the moon
<03394>_,

and the stars
<03556>_,

[even] all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

shouldest be driven
<05080> (8738)

to worship
<07812> (8694)

them, and serve
<05647> (8804)

them, which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath divided
<02505> (8804)

unto all nations
<05971>

under the whole heaven
<08064>_.

{divided: or, imparted}
