Every one of you must give as you are able,<n id="1" /> according to the blessing of the <sc>Lordsc> your God that he has given you.p>

You must give them the best of your<n id="1" /> grain, new wine, and olive oil, as well as the best of your wool when you shear your flocks.

you must set apart for yourselves three cities<n id="1" /> in the middle of your land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is giving you as a possession.

The elders of his own city must send for him and remove him from there to deliver him over to the blood avenger<n id="1" /> to die.

The <sc>Lordsc> your God will deliver it over to you<n id="1" /> and you must kill every single male by the sword.

<t /><p class="bodytext">When you go out to do battle with your enemies and the <sc>Lordsc> your God allows you to prevail<n id="1" /> and you take prisoners,

The young woman&#8217;s father must say to the elders, &#8220;I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected<n id="1" /> her.

When you enter the vineyard of your neighbor you may eat as many grapes as you please,<n id="1" /> but you must not take away any in a container.<n id="2" />

Then we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Look! I have set before you today life and prosperity on the one hand, and death and disaster on the other.

The <sc>Lordsc> will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.

Look! I have already given the land to you.<n id="1" /> Go, occupy the territory that I,<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc>, promised<n id="3" /> to give to your ancestors<n id="4" /> Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.&#8221;<n id="5" />

Do not be hostile toward them, because I am not giving you any of their land, not even a footprint, for I have given Mount Seir<n id="1" /> as an inheritance for Esau.

Then the <sc>Lordsc> said to me, &#8220;Do not harass Moab and provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land as your territory. This is because I have given Ar<n id="1" /> to the descendants of Lot<n id="2" /> as their possession.

But when you come close to the Ammonites, do not harass or provoke them because I am not giving you any of the Ammonites&#8217; land as your possession; I have already given it to Lot&#8217;s descendants<n id="1" /> as their possession.p>

You must fight<n id="1" /> until the <sc>Lordsc> gives your countrymen victory<n id="2" /> as he did you and they take possession of the land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan River. Then each of you may return to his own territory that I have given you.&#8221;

Then the anger of the <sc>Lordsc> will erupt<n id="1" /> against you and he will close up the sky<n id="2" /> so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed<n id="3" /> from the good land that the Lord<n id="4" /> is about to give you.

Then they took<n id="1" /> some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying, &#8220;The land that the <sc>Lordsc> our God is about to give us is good.&#8221;p>

You complained among yourselves privately<n id="1" /> and said, &#8220;Because the <sc>Lordsc> hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

&#8220;Not a single person<n id="1" /> of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!
