Deuteronomy 4:1-40

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}

4:20

But the LORD
<03068>

hath taken
<03947> (8804)

you, and brought you forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the iron
<01270>

furnace
<03564>_,

[even] out of Egypt
<04714>_,

to be unto him a people
<05971>

of inheritance
<05159>_,

as [ye are] this day
<03117>_.

4:21

Furthermore the LORD
<03068>

was angry
<0599> (8694)

with me for your sakes
<01697>_,

and sware
<07650> (8735)

that I should not go over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and that I should not go
<0935> (8800)

in unto that good
<02896>

land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_:

4:22

But I must die
<04191> (8801)

in this land
<0776>_,

I must not go over
<05674> (8802)

Jordan
<03383>_:

but ye shall go over
<05674> (8802)_,

and possess
<03423> (8804)

that good
<02896>

land
<0776>_.

4:23

Take heed
<08104> (8734)

unto yourselves, lest ye forget
<07911> (8799)

the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which he made
<03772> (8804)

with you, and make
<06213> (8804)

you a graven image
<06459>_,

[or] the likeness
<08544>

of any
<03605>

[thing], which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath forbidden
<06680> (8765)

thee.

4:24

For the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[is] a consuming
<0398> (8802)

fire
<0784>_,

[even] a jealous
<07067>

God
<0410>_.

4:25

When thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)

children
<01121>_,

and children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_,

and ye shall have remained long
<03462> (8738)

in the land
<0776>_,

and shall corrupt
<07843> (8689)

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

a graven image
<06459>_,

[or] the likeness
<08544>

of any [thing], and shall do
<06213> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

4:26

I call
<05749> (0)

heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>

to witness
<05749> (8689)

against you this day
<03117>_,

that ye shall soon
<04118>

utterly
<06> (8800)

perish
<06> (8799)

from off the land
<0776>

whereunto ye go over
<05674> (8802)

Jordan
<03383>

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it; ye shall not prolong
<0748> (8686)

[your] days
<03117>

upon it, but shall utterly
<08045> (8736)

be destroyed
<08045> (8735)_.

4:27

And the LORD
<03068>

shall scatter
<06327> (8689)

you among the nations
<05971>_,

and ye shall be left
<07604> (8738)

few
<04962>

in number
<04557>

among the heathen
<01471>_,

whither the LORD
<03068>

shall lead
<05090> (8762)

you.

4:28

And there ye shall serve
<05647> (8804)

gods
<0430>_,

the work
<04639>

of men's
<0120>

hands
<03027>_,

wood
<06086>

and stone
<068>_,

which neither see
<07200> (8799)_,

nor hear
<08085> (8799)_,

nor eat
<0398> (8799)_,

nor smell
<07306> (8686)_.

4:29

But if from thence thou shalt seek
<01245> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

thou shalt find
<04672> (8804)

[him], if thou seek
<01875> (8799)

him with all thy heart
<03824>

and with all thy soul
<05315>_.

4:30

When thou art in tribulation
<06862>_,

and all these things
<01697>

are come
<04672> (8804)

upon thee, [even] in the latter
<0319>

days
<03117>_,

if thou turn
<07725> (8804)

to the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and shalt be obedient
<08085> (8804)

unto his voice
<06963>_;

{are...: Heb. have found thee}

4:31

(For the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[is] a merciful
<07349>

God
<0410>;)

he will not forsake
<07503> (8686)

thee, neither destroy
<07843> (8686)

thee, nor forget
<07911> (8799)

the covenant
<01285>

of thy fathers
<01>

which he sware
<07650> (8738)

unto them.

4:32

For ask
<07592> (8798)

now of the days
<03117>

that are past
<07223>_,

which were
<01961> (8738)

before
<06440>

thee, since the day
<03117>

that God
<0430>

created
<01254> (8804)

man
<0120>

upon the earth
<0776>_,

and [ask] from the one side
<07097>

of heaven
<08064>

unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great
<01419>

thing
<01697>

[is], or hath been heard
<08085> (8738)

like it?

4:33

Did [ever] people
<05971>

hear
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of God
<0430>

speaking out
<01696> (8764)

of the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_,

as thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,

and live
<02421> (8799)_?

4:34

Or hath God
<0430>

assayed
<05254> (8765)

to go
<0935> (8800)

[and] take
<03947> (8800)

him a nation
<01471>

from the midst
<07130>

of [another] nation
<01471>_,

by temptations
<04531>_,

by signs
<0226>_,

and by wonders
<04159>_,

and by war
<04421>_,

and by a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and by a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

and by great
<01419>

terrors
<04172>_,

according to all that the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

did
<06213> (8804)

for you in Egypt
<04714>

before your eyes
<05869>_?

4:35

Unto thee it was shewed
<07200> (8717)_,

that thou mightest know
<03045> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

he [is] God
<0430>_;

[there is] none else
<05750>

beside him
<0905>_.

4:36

Out of heaven
<08064>

he made thee to hear
<08085> (8689)

his voice
<06963>_,

that he might instruct
<03256> (8763)

thee: and upon earth
<0776>

he shewed
<07200> (8689)

thee his great
<01419>

fire
<0784>_;

and thou heardest
<08085> (8804)

his words
<01697>

out of the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_.

4:37

And because he loved
<0157> (8804)

thy fathers
<01>_,

therefore he chose
<0977> (8799)

their seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

them, and brought thee out
<03318> (8686)

in his sight
<06440>

with his mighty
<01419>

power
<03581>

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

4:38

To drive out
<03423> (8687)

nations
<01471>

from before
<06440>

thee greater
<01419>

and mightier
<06099>

than thou [art], to bring
<0935> (8687)

thee in, to give
<05414> (8800)

thee their land
<0776>

[for] an inheritance
<05159>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

4:39

Know
<03045> (8804)

therefore this day
<03117>_,

and consider
<07725> (8689)

[it] in thine heart
<03824>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

he [is] God
<0430>

in heaven
<08064>

above
<04605>_,

and upon the earth
<0776>

beneath: [there is] none else.

4:40

Thou shalt keep
<08104> (8804)

therefore his statutes
<02706>_,

and his commandments
<04687>_,

which I command
<06680> (8764)

thee this day
<03117>_,

that it may go well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and with thy children
<01121>

after
<0310>

thee, and that thou mayest prolong
<0748> (8686)

[thy] days
<03117>

upon the earth
<0127>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, for ever.
