THE FIFTH BOKE OF MOSES called* 1.1 Deuteronomie.

THE ARGVMENT.

THe wonderful loue of God toward his Churche is liuely set forthe in this boke. For albeit through their ingratitu∣de and sundry rebellions against God, for the space of forty yeres, Deut. 9. 7. they had deserueth to haue bene cut of from the nomber of his people, and for euer to haue bene depriued of the vse of his holy worde, and sacramēts: yet he did euer preserue his Church euen for his owne mercies sake, and wolde stil haue his Name called vpon among them wherefo re he bringeth them into the land of Cánaan, destroyeth their enemies giueth them their countrey townes, and goodes, and exborteth them by the example of their fathers (whose infidelitie, idolatrie, adulteries, murmurings and rebellion, he had moste sharpely punished to feare and obey the Lord, to embrace and kepe his lawe without adding ther vnto or dimi nishing there from. For by his worde be wolde he knowento be their God, and they his people, by his worde he wolde go∣uerne his Churche, & by the same they shulde learne to obey him by his worde he wolde discerne the false Prophet from the true light from darknes, error from knollage, and his owne people from all other natiōs and infideles: teaching them thereby to refuse & detest, destroy and abolish what soeuer is not agreable to his holy wil, seme it other wise neuer so good or precious in the eyes of man And for this cause God promised to raise vp Kings and gouuernours for the setting for the of this worde and preseruacion of his Churche giuing vnto them an especial charge for the executing thereof, whome the refore be willeth to exercise thē selues diligently in the continual studie and meditation of the same that they might learne to feare the Lord loue their subiects abhorre couetousnes and vice, and whatsoeuer offendeth the maiestie of God And as he had to fore instructed their fathers in all things apperte 〈◊〉〈◊〉, bothe to his spiritual seruice, & also for the maintenant of that societie which is betwene men: so he prescribeth here anewe, all suche lawes & ordināces which ether cōcerne his di uine seruice or els are necessarie for a comon weale: appointing vnto euerie estate and degre their charge and 〈◊〉〈◊〉: aswel how to rule and liue in the feare of God as to nourish friendeship towarde their neighbours and to preserue that or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 God hathe established among men threatening with all moste horrible plagues to them that transgresse his com¦mandements and promising all blessing and felicitie to suche as obserue and obey them.

CHAP. I.

2 A brefe reharsal of things done before, from Horéb vnte Kadesh-bernea. 32 Mosés reproueth the people for their incredulite. 44 The Israelites are ouer come by the A∣morites because they fought against the commandemēt of the Lord.

1 THESE be the wordes which Mosés spake vnto all Israélona 1.2 this side 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the wil∣dernes,* 1.3 in the plaine, ouer against that red Sea, betwene Paran & Tophel, and Laban, & Hazeroth, and Di-za hab.

2 (There are) eleuen daies iourney fromc 1.4 Ho reb vnto Kadésh-barnea, by the way of mount Seir.

3 And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the forteth yere, that Mosés spake vnto the children of Israél according vnto al that the Lord hade giuē him in commandement vnto them.

4 After that he had slained 1.5 * Sihôn the King of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og King of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

5 On this side Iordén in the land of Moabe 1.6 began Mosés to declare this Law saying,* 1.7

6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs inf 1.8 Ho∣réb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,

7 Turne you and departe, and go vnto the* 1.9 mounteine of the Amorities, and vnto all places nere therunto in the plaine, in the mounteine, or in the valley: bothe South ward, and to the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon (euen) vnto the great riuer, the riuer” 1.10 Perath.

8 Beholde, I haue set the land before you: goin & * possesse that land which the Lord* 1.11 sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak and Iaakob, to giue vnto them & to their sede after them.

9 ¶ And I spakeg 1.12 vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my sel∣fe alone:

10 The lord your God hatheh 1.13 multiplied you and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:

11 [The Lord God of your fathers make you: a thousand times so manie mo as ye are, & blesse you, as he hathe promised you]

12 How can I alonei 1.14 beare your cumbrance and your charge, and your strife?

13 Bring you men of wisdome and of vnder∣standing, andk 1.15 knowen amōg your tribes, and I wil make them rulers ouer you:

14 Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded (vs) to do.

15 So I toke the chief of your tribesl 1.16 wise & knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captai nes ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fif ty, & captaines ouer ten, and officers amōg your tribes.

16 And I charged your iudges that same time saying, Heare the (controuersies) betwene* 1.17 your brethren, and * iudge righteously be twene euerie man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17 Ye shal haue no respect of persone in iud∣gement,* 1.18 * but shall heare the small as∣wel* 1.19 as the great: ye shal not feare the face* 1.20 of man for the iudgement ism 1.21 Gods: and* 1.22 * 1.23 the cause that is to hard for you, bring vn to me and I wil heare it.

18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye shulde do.

19 ¶ Then we departed from Horeb, and wēt

through all that greate and terrible wil∣dernes, [as ye haue sene] by the way of the mounteine of the Amorites, as the Lorde our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh barnéa.

20 Andn 1.24 I said vnto you, ye are come vnto the mounteine of the Amorites, whiche the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.

21 Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layed the land before thee: go vp (and) possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hathe said vnto thee: feare not, nether be discouraged

22 ¶o 1.25 Then ye came vnto me euerie one, and said, We will send men before vs, to search vs out the land & to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shal come.

23 So the saying pleased me well, and I toke twelue men of you, of euerie tribe one.

24 * Who departed, and went vp into the* 1.26 mounteine, and came vnto the“ 1.27 riuer Esh∣côl, and searched out the (land.)

25 And toke of the frute of the land in their handes, and broght it vnto vs, and broght vs worde againe, andp 1.28 said, It is a good land, whiche the Lord our God doeth giue vs.

26 Not withstanding, ye wolde not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandemēt of the Lord your God,

27 And murmured in your tentes, and said, Be∣cause the Lordq 1.29 hated vs, therefore hathe he broght vs out of the land of Egypte, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, & to destroy vs.

28 Whether shal we go vp? ourr 1.30 brethrē haue discouraged our heartes, saying, The peo∣ple (is) greater, and taller then we: the Ci∣ties (are) great and walled vp to heauē and moreouer we haue fene the sonnes of the * Anakims there.* 1.31

29 But I sayde vnto you, Dread not, nor be afraid' of them.

30 The Lord your God,s 1.32 who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes.

31 And in the wildernes, where thou hast sene how the Lord thy GOD bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the waye whiche ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.

32 Yet for all this ye did not beleue the Lorde your God,

33 * Who went in the waye before you, to* 1.33 searche you out a place to pitche your tē∣tes in, in fire by nighte, that ye mighte se what way to go, and in a cloude by day.

34 Then the Lorde heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

35 * Surely there shal not one of these men of* 1.34 this froward generacion, se that good lād, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers.

36 Saue Caléb the sonne of Iephunneh: he* 1.35 shall se it, * and to him will I giue the lande that he hathe troden vpō, and to his chil∣dren, because he hathe constātly followed the Lord.

37 * Also the Lord was angry with me for your* 1.36 sakes, saying, * Thou also shalt not go in thither,* 1.37

38 But Ioshúa the sonne of Nun which stan∣detht 1.38 before thee, he shal go in thither: in∣courage him: for he shall cause Israél to in∣herit it.

39 Moreouer, youru 1.39 children, whiche ye said shulde be a praye, and your sonnes, whiche in that daye had no knowledge betwene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them will I giue it, and they shall possesse it.

40 But as for you, turne backe, & take your iourney into the wildernes by ⁱ the waye of the red Sea.

41 Then ye answered and said vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord,x 1.40 we will go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hathe commanded vs: and ye ar∣med you euerie man to the warre, and were ready to go vp into the mounteine.

42 But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto thē, Go not vp, nether fight, [for I amy 1.41 not a∣mōg you] lest ye fall before your enemies.

43 And when I tolde you, ye wolde not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumpteous, and went vp into the mounteine.

44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mounteine came out against you, and cha∣sed you [as bees vse to do] and destroyed you in Seir, (euen) vnto Harmáh.

45 And when ye came againe, ye wept before the LORD, but the Lord wolde notz 1.42 hea∣re your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.

46 Soye abode in Kadésha longe time, ac∣cording to the time that ye had remained (before.)

CHAP. II.

1 Israél it is forbidden to fight with the Edomites. 9 Moa∣bites. 19 And Ammonites. 33 Sihón King of Heshbón is discomfited.

1 THena 1.43 we turned, and toke our iourney into the wildernes, by the waye of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir ab 1.44 long time.

2 And the Lord spake vnto me, saying,

3 Ye haue compassed this mountaine longe ynough: turne you Northwarde.

4 And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shal go through thec 1.45 coast of your brethrē the children of Esáu, whiche dwell in Seir, & they shal be afraid of you: take ye good hede therefore.

5 Ye shall not prouoke them: for I will not* 1.46 giue you of their land so muche as a fote breadth, * because I haue giuen mount Seir* 1.47 vnto Esau for a possession.

6 Ye shall bye meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of thē

for money to drinke.

7 For the Lordthy God hathed 1.48 blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he know∣eth thy walking through this greate wil∣dernes, and the Lord thy God hathe bene with thee this fortie yere, (and) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thou hast lacked nothing.

8 And whē we were departed from our bre∣thren the children of Esáu whiche dwelt in Seîr, through the waye of the“ 1.49 plaine, from Eláth, & from Ezion-gáber, we tur∣ned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moáb.

9 Then the Lord said vnto me, Thou shalt not“ 1.50 vexe Moáb, nether prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the childrene 1.51 of Lot for a possession.

10 Thef 1.52 Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims.

11 They also were taken for gyantes as the Anakims: whom the Moabites cal Emims.

12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esáu chased out and destroyed them before thē, and dwelt in their stede: as Israél shall do vnto the land of his possessiō, which the Lord hath giuen them.

13 Now rise vp, (said I,) and get you ouer the* 1.53 riuer * Zéred: and we went ouer the riuer Zéred.

14 Theg 1.54 space also wherein we came frome Kadesh-barnéa vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zeréd, (was) eight and thirtie ye∣res, vntil all the generacion of the mē of warre were wasted out frome amonge the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them.

15 For in dede theh 1.55 hande of the Lorde was against them, to destroye them from amōg the hoste, til they were consumed.

16 ¶ So when all the men of warre were cō∣sumed and dead from among the people:

17 Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying,

18 Thou shalt go through Ar the coaste of Moáb this day:

19 And thou shalt come nere ouer agaynste the children of Ammôn: (but) shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre againste them: for I wil not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammôn (anie) possession: for I haue gyuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession.

20 That also was taken for a landi 1.56 of gyāts: (for) gyants dwelt therein a fore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzum∣mims:

21 A people (that was) great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the LORD de∣stroyed them before thē, & they succeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stede:

22 As he did to the children of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 whiche dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Ho∣rims before them, and they possessed thē, and dwelt in their stede vnto this day.

23 And the Auims whiche dwelt in Hazerîm (euē) vnto“ 1.57 Azzáh, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their stede.

24 ¶ Rise vp (therefore, said the Lord:) take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Ar∣nón: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihón: thek 1.58 Amorite, King of Heshbôn, & his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell.* 1.59

25 This 〈◊〉〈◊〉 willl 1.60 begin to send thy feare & thy dread, vpon all people vnder the hea∣uens, whiche shall heare thy fame and shal tremble and quake before thee.

26 Then I sent messengers out of the wil∣dernes of Kedemóth vnto Sihōh King of Heshbôn, with wordes of peace, saying,

27 ¶ * Let me passe through thy land: I wil go* 1.61 by the hie way: I wil nether turne vnto the righthand nor to the left.

28 Thou shalt sel me meat for money, for to eat, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my fote,

29 [As them 1.62 children of Esáu whiche dwell in Seir, and the Moabites whiche dwell in Ar, did vnto me] vntill I be come ouer Ior∣dén, into the land whiche the LORD our God giueth vs.

30 But Sihôn the Kynge of Heshbôn wolde not let vs passe by him: for the LORD thy God hadn 1.63 hardened his spirit, & made hys heart obstinate, because he wolde deliuer him into thine hād, as (appeareth) this day

31 And the Lorde sayde vnto me, Beholde, I haue begonne to giue Sihón and his land before thee: begin to possesse and in herite his land.

32 * Then came out Sihōn to mete vs, hym* 1.64 self with all his people to fight at Iaház,

33 But the Lord our God deliuered him” 1.65 into our power, & we smote him, and his sonnes and all his people.

34 And we toke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euerie citie, men, ando 1.66 wo∣men, and children: we let nothing remaine

35 Onely the cattel we toke to our selues, & the spoile of the cities which we toke.

36 From Aroér, whiche is by the bāke of the riuer of Arnôn, and (from) the Citie that is vpon the riuer, euē vnto Gileád: there was not one citie that escaped vs (for) the Lord our God deliuered vp all“ 1.67 before vs.

37 Onelye vnto the lande of the children of Ammôn thou camest not, (nor) vnto anye place of the“ 1.68 riuer Iabbók, nor vnto the Cities in the mountaines, nor vnto what∣soeuer the Lord our God forbade vs

CHAP. III.

3 Og King of Bashán is slaine. 11 The bignes of his bed. 18 The Reubenites and Gadites are commanded to go ouer Iordén armed before their brethren. 21 Ioshúa is made captaine. 27 Mosés is permitted to se the land, but not to enter, albeit he desired it.

1 THen we turned, and wentvp by the way* 1.69 of Bashán: * and Og Kinge of Bashána 1.70* 1.71 came out against vs, he, and all his people to fight at Edréi.

2 And the Lord said vnto me, Feare him not, for I will deliuer him, and all his people, and his land into thine hande, and thou shalt do vnto him, as thou diddest vnto *Sihôn King of the Amorites, which dwelt* 1.72 at Heshbón.

3 So the Lord our God deliuered also vnto* 1.73 our hand, *Og the King of Bashán, and all his people: and we smote him, vntill none was left him (aliue,)

4 And we toke all his Cities the same tyme, nether was there a Citie whiche we toke not from them, (euē) thre score cities, (&) all the countrey of Argôb, the kingedome of Og in Bashán.

5 All these cities (were) fenced with hie wal∣les, gates and barres, besideb 1.74 vn walled townes a great many.

6 And we ouerthrewe them, as we did vnto Sihôn King of Heshbòn, destroying euerie citie, (with) men,c 1.75 women, and children.

7 But all the cattel and the spoile of the Ci∣ties we toke for our selues.

8 Thus we toke at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the lād that was on this side Iordén frome the riuer of Arnôn vnto mount Hermón:

9 [Which Hermón the Sidonians call Shi∣riôn, but the Amorites call it Shenir.]

10 All the cities of the plaine and all Gileád, and all Bashán vnto Salcháh, and Edréi, Cities of the kyngedome of Og in Bashán.

11 For onelie Og Kynge of Bashán remay∣ned of the remnant of the gyants,d 1.76 whose bed (was) a bed of yron: is it not at Rab∣báth amonge the children of Ammon? the length thereof (is) nine cubites, and foure cubites the bredth of it, after the cubite of a man.

12 And this land (which) we possessed at that time, from Aroér, whiche is by the riuer of* 1.77 Arnón, and halfe mount Gileád, * and the cities thereof, gaue I vnto the Reubenites and Gadites.

13 And the rest of Gileád, and all Bashán, the kingdome of Og, gaue I vnto the half tri∣be of Manasséh: (euen) all the countrey of Argób with all Bashán, whiche is called, The land of gyantes.

14 Iair the sonne of Manasséh toke all the countrey of Argôb, vnto the coastes of Geshuri, and called them after hys owne name, Bashán, Hauoth Iair vntoe 1.78 this day.

15 And I gaue (parte) of Gileád vnto Machir.

16 And vnto the Reubenites and Gadites I gaue (the rest) of Gileád, and vnto the riuer of Arnón, halfe the riuer and the borders, euen vnto the riuerf 1.79 Iabbók, (which is) the border of the children of Ammón:

17 The plaine also and Iordén, and the bor∣ders from Chinnéreth euen vnto the Sea of the plaine, (to wit,) the salt Sea“ 1.80 vnder the springs of Pisgáh East warde.

18 ¶ And I commandedg 1.81 you the same tyme, saying, The Lord your God hathe giué you this land to possesse it: ye shall go ouer ar∣med before your brethren the children of Israél, all men of warre.

19 Your wiues on elie, and your childrē, and your cattel [for I know that ye haue much cattell] shall abide in your cities, whiche I haue giuen you,

20 Vntill the Lord haue giuen rest vnto your bretheren as vnto you, and that they also possesse the land, which the Lord your God hathe giuen them beyonde Iordén: thē shal ye * returne euerie man vnto his possessiō,* 1.82 which I haue giuen you.

21 ¶ * And I charged Ioshûa the same tyme,* 1.83 saying, Thine eies haue sene all that theh 1.84 Lord your God hathe done vnto these two Kings: so shal the Lord do vnto al the king∣domes whither thou goest.

22 Ye shal not feare them: for the Lorde your God he shall fight for you.

23 And I besoght the Lorde the same tyme, saying,

24 O Lord God, thou haste begonne to shew thy seruant thy greatnes and thy mightye hand: for where is there a God in heauē or in earth, that cani 1.85 do like thy workes, and like thy“ 1.86 power?

25 I pray thee let me go ouer and sethe good land that is beyonde Iordén, that goodliek 1.87 mountaine, and Lebanôn.

26 But the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and wolde not heare me: & the Lord said vnto me, Let it suffice thee, speake no more vnto me of this matter.

27 Get thee vp into the top of Pisgáh, andl 1.88 lift vp thine eyes Westward, & Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and behold it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go ouer this Iordén:

28 But charge Ioshúa, and in courage him, & bolden him: for he shal go before this peo∣ple, and he shal deuide for inheritāce vnto them, the land which thou shalt se.

29 So we abode in the valley ouer agaynste Beth-Peôr.

CHAP. IIII.

1 An exhortaciō to obserue the Law without adding ther∣to or diminishing. 6 Therein standeth our wisedome. 9 VVe must teache it to our children. 15 No image ought to be made to worship. 26 Threatenings against them that forsake the Lawe of God. 37 God chose the sede be∣cause he loued theyr Fathers, 43 The thre Cities of re∣fuge 〈◊〉〈◊〉

1 NOw therefore hearken, ô Israél, vnto the ordināces and to the lawes which I teach you toa 1.89 do, that ye may liue and go in, and possesse the land, which the LORD God of your fathers giueth you.

2 Ye shallb 1.90 put nothynge vnto the worde which I commāde you, nether shal ye takec 1.91 ought there from, that ye may kepe the

commandements of the Lord your GOD which I commande you.

3 Yourd 1.92 eyes haue sene what the Lorde did because of Baal-Peôr, for all the men that followed Baal-Peôr, the Lord thy GOD hath destroyed euerie one from amōg you,

4 But ye that dide 1.93 cleaue vnto the Lord your God, are aliue euerie one of you this day.

5 Beholde, I haue taught you ordinances, and lawes, as the Lord my God comman∣ded me, that ye shuld do euen so with in the land whither ye go to possesse it.

6 Kepe them therefore, and do them: for that is yourf 1.94 wisdome, and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people, which shal heare all these ordinances, and shall say,“ 1.95 Onely this people (is) wise, and of vnderstanding (and) a great nacion.

7 For what nacion (is so) great, vnto whome the Gods come so nere vnto them, as the Lord our God (isg 1.96 nere vnto vs,) in all that we call vnto him for?

8 And what nacion (is so) great, that hath or∣dinances and lawes so righteous, as al this Lawe, whiche I set before you this day?

9 But take hede to thy selfe, andh 1.97 kepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes haue sene, & that they departe not out of thine heart, all the daies of thy life: but teache thē thy sonnes and thy sonnes sonnes.

10 (Forget not) the day that thou stodest be∣fore the Lord thy God in Horéb, when the Lord said vnto me, Gather me the people together: & I wil cause thē heare my words, that they maye learne to feare me all the dayes that they shal liue vpon the earthe, and that they may teache their children:* 1.98

11 Then came you nere and * stode vnder the mountaine and the mountainei 1.99 burnt with fire vnto the middes of heauen, (and there was) darcknes, cloudes and mist.

12 And the Lord spake vnto you out of the middes of the fire, (and) ye heard the voyce of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a voyce.

13 Then he declared vnto you his couenant which he commanded you tok 1.100 do, (euen) the ten commandements, and wrote them vpon two tables of stone.

14 ¶ And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I shulde teache you ordinances and Lawes, which ye shulde obserue in the land, whither ye go, to possesse it.

15 Take therfore good hede vnto your” 1.101 sel∣ues: for ye sawe nol 1.102 image in the daye that the Lord spake vnto you in Horéb out of the middes of the fire:

16 That ye corrupt not your selues, & make you a grauen image (or) representacion of anie figure: (whither it be) the likenes of male or female.

17 The likenes of anie beast that is on earth (or) the likenes of anie fethered foule that flieth in the aire:

18 (Or) the likenes of any thing that crepeth on the earthe, (or) the likenes of anie fishe that is in the waters beneth the earth.

19 And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto hea∣uen, and when thou seest the sunne & the moone and the starres with all the hoste of heauen, shuldest be driuen to worshippe them and serue them, whiche the Lord thy God hathem 1.103 distributed to all people vn∣der the whole heauen.

20 But the Lord hath taken you and broght you out of then 1.104 yrō fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people (and) inheritance, as (appeareth) this day.

21 And the Lord was angry with me for your wordes, and sware that I shuld not go ouer Iordén, and that I shulde not go in vnto that good land, whiche the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance.

22 For I muste dye in this land, and shall not go ouer Iordén, buto 1.105 ye shall go ouer, and possesse that good land.

23 Take hede vnto your selues, lest ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which he made with you, & (lest) ye make you any grauen image, (or) likenes of anie thing, as the Lord thy God hathe charged thee.

24 For the Lord thy GOD is ap 1.106 consuming fire, (and) a ielous God.

25 ¶ When thou shalt beget chyldren and childrens children, and shalt haue remay∣ned* 1.107 long in the lande, if yeq 1.108 corrupte your selues, and make any grauē image, (or) like∣nes of anie thynge, and worke euill in the sight of the Lord thy GOD, to prouoke him to angre,

26 Ir 1.109 call heauen and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortely perishe from the land, wherunto ye go ouer Iordē, to possesse it: ye shal not prolōg your daies therein, but shal vtterly be destroyed.

27 And the Lord shals 1.110 scatter you among the people, and ye shalbe left fewe in nomber amonge the nacions, whether the LORD shal bring you:

28 And there ye shall serue Gods, (euen) the worke of mans hand, wood, & stone, which nether se, nor heare, nor eat, nor smel.

29 But if frome thence thou shalt seke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seke him with all thinet 1.111 hearte, and with all thy soule.

30 When thou arte in tribulacion, and all these things are come vpon thee,” 1.112 at the lēgth, if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and be obedient vnto his voyce,

31 [For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God] he wil not forsake thee, nether destroy thee nor forget the couenant of thy Fathers, which heu 1.113 sware vnto them.

32 For inquire now of the daies that are past, which were before thee, since the day that GOD created man vpon the earthe, andx 1.114 (aske) frō the one end of heauen vnto the other, if there came to passe suche a greate

thinge as this, or whether anie suche like thing hathe bene heard.

33 Did euer people heare the voyce of God speakynge out of the middes of a fire, as thou hast heard, and liued?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nacion from among nacions, byy 1.115 tenta∣cions, by signes, and by wonders, and by warre, and by a mighty hand, & by a stret∣ched out arme, and by great feare, accor∣ding vnto all that the Lord your God did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Vnto thee it was shewed, that thou migh∣testz 1.116 knowe, that the Lord he is God, (&) that there is none but he alone.

36 Out of heauē he made thee heare his voi∣ce to instruct thee, & vpō earth he shewed thee his greate fire, and thou heardest his voyce out of the middes of the fire.

37 And becausea 1.117 he loued thy fathers, ther∣fore he chose their sede after them, and hathe broght thee out of Egypte in hys sight, by his mighty power,

38 To thrust out nacions greater and migh∣tier then thou, before thee, to bring thee in, (and) to giue thee their land for inheri∣tance as (appeareth) this day.

39 Vnderstand therefore this day, and con∣sider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earthe be∣neth there (is) none other.

40 Thou shalt kepe therefore his ordinan ces, and his commandements whiche I cō∣mande thee this day, that it mayb 1.118 go well with thee, and with thy childrē after thee, and that thou maiest prolonge thy dayes vpon the earth, whiche the Lord thy God giueth thee foreuer.

41 ¶ Thē Mosés separated thre cities on this side of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 towarde the sonne rising:

42 That the slayer shulde flee thither, which had killed his neighbour at vnwares, and hated him not in time past, mighte flee, I say, vnto one of those 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and liue:

43 (That is,) *Bézerin the wildernes, in the* 1.119 plaine countrey of the Reubenites & Ra∣môth in Gileád among the Gadites: & Go∣lán in Bashán among them of Manasséh.

44 ¶ So this is the lawe which Mosés set be∣fore the children of Israél.

45 These are thec 1.120 witnesses, and the ordinā∣ces, and the Lawes which Mosés declared to the children of Israél after they came out of Egypt,

46 On this side Iordén, in the valey ouer a∣gainste Beth peôr, in the lande of Sihón Kynge of the Amorites, whiche dwelt at Heshbôn, whome Mosés and the chyldren of Israél * smote, after they were come out* 1.121 of Egypt:* 1.122

47 And they possessed his land, and the land of * Og King of Bashán, two Kings of the* 1.123 Amorites, whiche were on this side Iordén* 1.124 toward the sonne rising:

48 From Aroér, which is by the banke of the theriuer Arnōn, euen vnto mount Siōn, which is Hermón,

49 And all the plaine by 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉, euē vntod 1.125 the Sea, of the plaine, vnder the * springs of pisgáh.* 1.126

CHAP. V.

5 Mosés is the meane betwene God & the people. 6 The Lawe is repeted. 23 The people are afrayde at Goddes voyce. 29 The Lord wisheth that the people wolde feare him. 32 They muste nether decline to the ryghte hand nor left.

1 THen Mosés called, all Israél, and sayde vnto them, Heare ô Israél the ordinan∣ces and the Lawes whiche I” 1.127 propose to you this day, that ye maye learne them, & take hede to obserue them.

2 *The Lord our God made a couenant with* 1.128 vsin Horéb.

3 The Lordea 1.129 made not this couenant with our fathers, (onelye,) but with vs, (euen) with vs all here a liue this day.

4 The Lorde talked with youb 1.130 face to face in the mount, out of the middes of the fire.

5 [At that time I stode betwene the Lorde and you, to declare vnto you the worde of the Lord for ye were afraide at the sight of the fire and went not vp in the mount] and he said,

6 ¶ * I am the Lord thy GOD, whiche haue* 1.131* 1.132 broght thee out of the land of Egypte, frō* 1.133 the house of“ 1.134 bondage.

7 Thou shalt haue nonec 1.135 other Gods before my face.

8 Thou shalt make 〈◊〉〈◊〉 no grauen image, (or) anie likenes (of that) that is in heauen aboue, or which is in the earthe beneth, or that is in the waters vnder the earth.

9 Thou shalt nether bowe thy self vnto thē, nor serue them for * I the Lord thy God* 1.136* 1.137 am ad 1.138 ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, euen vnto the third and fourth (generacion) of them that hate me:

10 And shewing mercie vnto thousandes of them thate 1.139 loue me, and kepe my cōman∣dements.

11 Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not holde him giltles, that taketh his name in vaine.

12 Kepe the Sabbath daye, to sanctifie it, as the Lord thy God hathe commāded thee.

13 Six daiesf 1.140 thou shalt labour, and shalt do all thy worke:

14 But the seuenth daye (is) the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do anye work (〈◊〉〈◊〉,) thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, nor thy man seruante, nor thy maide, nor thine oxe, nor thine asse, nether anie of thy cattel, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy man seruant & thy maide may rest aswel as thou.

15 For, remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt, and (that) the Lord the God broght thee out thence by a mightye

hand and a stretched out arme: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to ob∣serue the Sabbath day.

16 ¶g 1.141 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hathe commanded thee that thy daies may be prolonged, and that it may go wel with thee vppon the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

17 * Thou shalt not kil.* 1.142 * 1.143

18 * Nether shalt thou commit adulterie.* 1.144

19 * Nether shalt thou steale.

20 Nether shalt thou beare false witnes a∣gainst thy neighbour.

21 * Nether shalth 1.145 thou couet thy neighbours* 1.146 wife, nether shalt thou desire thy neigh∣bours house, his field, nor his man seruāt, nor his maid, his oxe, nor his asse, nor ought that thy neighbour hathe.

22 ¶ These wordes the Lorde spake vnto all your multitude in the mounte out of the middes of the fire, the cloude & the dark∣nes, with a great voyce, &i 1.147 added no more (thereto:) and wrote them vpō two tables of stone, and deliuered them vnto me.

23 And when ye heard the voyce out of the middes of darknes, [for the mountaine did burne with fire,] then ye came tó me, all the chief of your tribes, and your Elders:

24 And ye said, Beholde, the Lord our GOD hath shewed vs his glorie & his greatnes, & * we haue heard his voice out of the middes* 1.148 of the fire: we haue sene this day that God doeth talke with man, and he * liueth.* 1.149

25 Now therefore, why shuld we dye: for this greate fire will consume vs if we heare the voyce of the Lord our God anye more, we shal dye.

26 For what* 1.150 flesh (was) there euer, that heard the voyce of the liuynge GOD speaking out of the middes of the fire as we (haue,) and liued?

27 Go thou nere and heare all that the Lord our GOD saith: and declare thou vnto vs all that the Lord our God sayeth vnto thee * and we will heare it, and do it.

28 Then the Lord hearde the voyce of your* 1.151 wordes, when ye spake vnto me: and the Lord said vnto me, I haue heard the voyce of the wordes of this people, whiche they haue spokē vnto thee: they haue wel said, all that they haue spoken.

29 Ogk 1.152 that there were suche an hearte in them to feareme, and to kepe all my cō∣mandementes alway: that it might go wel with them, & with their children for euer.

30 Go, say vnto thē, Returne you into your tentes.

31 But stand thou here with me, and I wil tell thee all the commandements, and the ordi∣nances, and the Lawes, whiche thou shalt teache them that they may do them in the land which I giue them to possesse it.

32 Take hede therefore, that ye do as the Lord your GOD hathe commanded you:l 1.153 turne not a side to the ryghte hand nor to the left,

33 (But) walke in all the wayes whiche the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye maym 1.154 liue, and that it may go well with you: and that ye may prolong your dayes in the land whiche ye shall possesse.

CHAP. VI.

1 An exhortation to feare God, and kepe his commande∣ments. 5 whiche is, to loue him with all thine hearte. 7 The same muste be taught to the posteritie. 16 Not to tempt God. 25 Righteousnes is conteined in the Lawe.

1 THese now are the commandements, or∣dinances, and * 1.155 Lawes, which the Lord your God commanded (me) to teach (you,) that ye might do them in the land whether ye go to possesse it:

2 That thou myghtesta 1.156 feare the Lorde thy God, and kepe all his ordinances, and hys commandements which I commande thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.

3 He are therefore, ô Israél, and take hede to do it, that it may go wel with thee, and that ye maye in crease mightelyeb 1.157 in the lande that floweth with milke and hony, as the lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee

4 Heare, ô Israél, The Lorde our GOD (is) Lord onely.

5 And *thou shalt loue the Lord thy GOD* 1.158 * 1.159 with all thine heart, and with all thy soule,* 1.160 and with all thy might.

6 *And these wordes which I commāde thee* 1.161 this day, shalbe in thine heart.

7 And thou shaltc 1.162 rehearse them continual∣ly vnto thy children, and shalt talke of thē when thou tariest in thyne house, and as thou walk est by the waye, and when thou lyest downe, and when thou risest vp:

8 And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpō thine hand, and they shalbe“ 1.163 as frontelets betwene thine eyes.

9 Also thou shalt write them vpon thed 1.164 po∣stes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

10 And when the Lord thy God hath broght thee into the lande, whiche he sware vnto thy fathers, Abrahám, Izhák, and Iaakób, to giue to thee, with great and goodly ci∣ties which thou buyldedst not,

11 And houses ful of all maner of goods whi∣che thou filledst not, and wels digged whi∣che thou diggedst not, vine yardes and oli∣ue trees which thou plantedst not, & (whē) thou hast eaten and art ful.

12 e 1.165 Beware lest thou forget the Lord, which broght thee out of the land of Egypte, frō the house of bondage.

13 Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, & serue him, and shaltf 1.166 sweare by his Name.

14 Ye shal not walke after other gods, (after anie) of the gods of the people which are round about you,

15 [For the Lorde thy God is a ielous GOD among you:] lest the wrathe of the Lorde

thy God be kindeled against thee: and de stroy thee from the face of the earth.

16 ¶ Ye shal notg 1.167 tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt himin 〈◊〉〈◊〉:

17 (But) ye shal kepe diligently the comman∣dements of the Lord your God, and his te stimonies, and his ordinances which he hathe commanded thee,

18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in theh 1.168 sight of the Lord: that thou maiest prosper, and that thou maiest go in and possesse that good lād which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,

19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the lord hathe said.

20 Wheni 1.169 thy sonne shal aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimo∣nies, and ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord our God hathe commanded you?

21 Then thou shalt say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaosh bōdmen in Egypt but the Lord broght vs out of Egypt with a migh ty hand.

22 And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euil vpon Egypt, vpon Phara∣oh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes.

23 Andk 1.170 broght vs out from thēce, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land whiche he sware vnto our fathers.

24 Therefore the Lord hathe commanded vs to do all these ordinances, (and) to feare the Lord our God, that it may go euer wel with vs (and) that he may preserue vs a li∣ue as at this present.

25 Moreouer, this shalbe ourl 1.171 rigtheousnes before the Lord our God, if we take hede to kepe all these commandements, as he hathe commanded vs.

CHAP. VII.

1 The Israélites may make no couenant with the Gentiles 5 They must destroy the idoles. 8 The election depēdeth on the freloue of God. 19. The experience of the power of God ought to cōsirme vs. 25 To auoide all occasion of 〈◊〉〈◊〉

1 WHen the Lord thy God shal bring thee into the lād whither thou goest to possesse it, * and shal roote out manie* 1.172 nations before thee: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Ca naánites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiui∣tes, and the Iebusites, seuen nacions grea ter and mightier then thou.

2 And the Lord thy God shal giue thema 1.173 be∣fore thee, then thou shalt smite thē: thou shalt vtterly destroy thē: thou shalt make no * couenant with them, nor haue com∣passion* 1.174 on them.

3 Nether shalt thou make mariages with thē, nether giue thy daughter vnto his sō∣ne nor take his daughter vnto thy sonne.

4 For“ 1.175 they wil cause thy sonne to turne a way from me, and to serue other gods: thē wil the wrath of the Lord waxe hote a gainst you and destroy thee sodenly.

5 But thus ye shal deale with them,b 1.176 Ye shal ouerthrowe their altars, & breake downe their pillers, and ye shal cut downe their groues, and burne their grauen images with fire.* 1.177

6 * For thou art an holy people vnto the* 1.178 Lord thy God, * the Lord thy God hathe* 1.179 chosen thee, to be a precious people vnto him selfe, aboue all people that are vpon the earth.

7 The lord did not set his loue vpon you, nor chose you, because ye were mo in nomber then anie people: for ye were the fewest of all people.

8 But because the Lordc 1.180 loued you, and be∣cause he wolde kepe the othe which he had sworne vnto your fathers, the Lord ha the broght you out by a mighty hād and deliuered you out of the house of bondage from the hand of Pharaóh King of Egypt

9 That thou maiest knowe,d 1.181 that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God which kepeth couenant and mercie vnto them that loue him and kepe his commande∣ments (euen) to a thousand generacions,

10 And rewardethe 1.182 them to their face that hate him, to bring them to destruction he wil not deferre to rewarde him that ha∣teth him, to his face.

11 Kepe thou therefore the commandemēts and the ordinances, and the lawes, which I commande thee this day to do them.

12 〈◊〉〈◊〉 For if ye hearken vnto these lawes, and obserue and do them, then the Lord thy God shal kepe with thee the couenant, & thef 1.183 mercy which he sware vnto thy fa∣thers.

13 And he willoue thee, and blesse thee, and multiplie thee: he wil also blesse the frute of thy wombe, and the frute of thy land: thy corne and thy wine, and thine oyle & the increase of thy kine, and the flockes of thy shepe in the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers to giue thee.

14 Thou shalt be blessed aboue all people, * there shalbe nether male nor female ba∣ren* 1.184 among you, nor among your cattel.

15 Moreouer, the Lord wil take away from thee all in firmities, and wil put none of the euil diseases of * Egypt [which thou knowest] vpon thee, but wil send thē vpō* 1.185 all that hate thee.

16 Thou shalt therefore consume all people: which the Lord thy God shal giue thee:g 1.186 thine eie shal not spare thē, nether shalt thou serue their gods, for that shal be thy * destruction.

17 If thou say in thine heart, These nacions are mo then I how can I cast them out?

18 Thou shalt not feare them (but) remem∣ber what the Lord thy God did vnto Pha∣raóh, and vnto all Egypt:

19 The great“ 1.187 tentacions which thine eyes sa we, and the signes and wonders, and the mightie hand and stretched out arme, whe reby the Lord thy God broght thee out:

so shal the Lord thy God do vnto all the people, whose face thou fearest.

20 * Moreouer, the Lord thy God wil send* 1.188 h 1.189 homettes amōg them vntil they that are* 1.190 left, and hide them selues from thee, be de stroied.

21 Thou shalt not feare them: for the Lord thy God (is) amōg you, a God mighty and dreadful.

22 Andth Lord thy God wil roote out these nacions before thee by litle and litle: thou maist not consume them at once, lest the i 1.191 beastes of the field increase vpon thee.

23 But the Lord thy God shal giue them befo re thee, and shal destroy thē with a mighty destruction, vntil they be broght to noght

24 And he shal deliuer their Kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from vnder heauen: there shal no man be able to stand before thee, vntil thou hast destroied them.

25 The grauen images of their gods shal ye* 1.192 burne with fire (and) * couet not the siluer* 1.193 and golde (that is) on them nor take it vn to thee, lest thou k 1.194 be snared there with: for it is an a bominacion (before) the Lord thy God.

26 Bring not therefore abominacion into thine house, lest thou be accursed like it, (but) vtterly abhorre it, & counte it moste* 1.195 * 1.196 abominable: for it is * accursed.

CHAP. VIII.

2 God humbleth the Israelites to trie what they haue in their heart. 5 God chasticeth them as his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 14 The heart ought no to be proude for Gods benefites 19 The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Gods benesites causeth destruction,

1 YE shal kepe all the commandements which I commande thee this day, for a 1.197 to do them: that ye may 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and be mul tiplied, and go in & possesse the lād which the Lord sware vnto yourfathers.

2 And thou shalt remēber all the way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourty yere in the wildernes, for to humble thee and to b 1.198 proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou woldest kepe his cō∣mandements or no.

3 Therefore he hūbled thee, and made thee hungry, & fed thee with Man, which thou knewest not, nether did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man li∣ueth nor by c 1.199 bread onely, but by euerie (worde) that proceadeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doeth a man liue.

4 Thy rayment waxed not olde vpon thee, nether did thy fote d 1.200 swel those fourtie ye∣res.

5 Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God e 1.201 nourtereth thee.

6 Therefore shalt thou kepe the commande ments of the Lord thy GOD, that thou maiest walke in his wayes, and feare him.

7 For the Lord thy god bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and “ 1.202 dephtes that spring out of vale is and mountaines

8 A land of wheat and barley, and of vine∣yardes, and fig trees, and pomgranates a land of oyle oliue and honey:

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread with∣out scarcetie, nether shalte thou lacke a∣nie thing therin. a lād f 1.203 whose stones (are) yron, and out of whose mountains thou shalt digge brasse.

10 And when thou hast eaten and filled thy self, thou shalt g 1.204 blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keping his commandements, & his lawes, and his ordinances, which I com¦mande thee this day:

12 Lest (when) thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, & hast buylt goodly houses & dwelt (therein)

13 And thy beastes, and thy shepe are increa sed, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is encreased.

14 Then thine heart h 1.205 be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which broght the out of the land of Egypt, from the hou se of bondage.

15 Who was thy guide in the great and terri ble wildernes 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (wherein were) firy serpēts and scorpions, and drought, where (was) no water, * who broght forthe water for thee, out of the rocke of flinte:* 1.206

16 Who fed thee in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with * Mā,* 1.207 which thy fathers knewe not,] to humble thee, and to proue thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end,

17 (Beware) lest thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hād hathe prepared me this abundance.

18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which i 1.208 giueth thee power to get sub∣stance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as (appeareth) this day.

19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, & worship thē, I k 1.209 testifie vnto you this day that ye shal surely perish.

20 As the nacions which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shal perish, because ye wolde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.

CHAP. IX.

4 God doeth them not good for their owne righteousnes, but for his owne sake, 7 Mosés putteth them in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of their sinnes. 17 The two tables are broken. 16, Mosés prayeth for the people.

1 HEare o Israél, Thou shalt passe ouer Iordén a 1.210 this day, to go in (and) to pos sesse nacions greater and mightier then [ 2] thy selfe (and) cities great and walled vp to heauen,

2 A people great and tal (euen) the childrē [ 3] of the Anakims, whome thou knowest, &

(of whome) thou hast b 1.211 heard (say) Who can stand before the children of Anák?* 1.212

3 Vnderstand therefore that this day the Lord thy God is he which c 1.213 goeth ouer be fore thee (as) a consuming fire: he shal de∣stroy, them and he shal bring them downe before thy face? so thou shalt cast thē out and destroye them sodenly, as the Lord hathe said vnto thee,

4 Speake not thou in thine heart [after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out befo rethee] saying, For my d 1.214 righteousnes the Lord hathe broght me in to possesse this land; but for the wickednes of these na∣cions the Lord hathe cast them out befo∣re thee.

5 (For) thou entrest not to inherit their land for thy righteousnes, or for thy vp right heart, but for the wickednes of those na∣cions, the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee & that he might perfour∣me the worde which the Lord thy GOD sware vnto thy fathers, Abrahám, Izhák, and Iaákob.

6 Vnderstand therefore, that the Lord thy God giueth thee not this good lād to pos∣sesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a e 1.215 stifnecked people.

7 ¶ Remēber, and forget not, how thou pro∣uokedst the Lord thy God to angre in the wildernes: f 1.216 since the day that thou didest depart out of the lād of Egypt vntil ye ca∣me vnto this place ye haue rebelled agaīst the Lord.

8 Also in Horêb ye prouoked the Lord to an gre so that the Lord was 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with you (euen) to destroy you.

9 When I was gone vp in to the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables (I say) of the couenāt, which the Lord made with you: &* I a bode in the mount forty dayes* 1.217 and fortie nightes (and) I nether ate bread nor yet dranke water:

10 * Then the Lord deliuered me two tables* 1.218 of stone written with the g 1.219 finger of God, and in them (was conteined) according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vn to you in the mounte out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie,

11 And when the fortie dayes & fortie nigh∣tes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the table (I say) of the coue nant.

12 And the Lord said vnto me, * Arise, get* 1.220 the downe quickely from hence: for thy people which thou hast broght out of E∣gypt, haue h 1.221 corrupt (their wayes) thei are sone turned out of the way, which I com∣manded them thei haue made them a mol∣ten image.

13 Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue 〈◊〉〈◊〉 this people, & behold, it is a stifnecked people.

14 i 1.222 Let me alone, that I may destroye thē, & put out their name from vnder heauen, & I wil make of thee a mightie nacion, and greater then thei be.

15 So I returned, and came downe from the Mount [and the Moūt burnt with fire and the two Tables of the couenant (were) in my two hands]

16 Then I loked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God (for) ye had ma∣de you a molten calf (and) had turned quic kely out of thek 1.223 way which the Lord had commanded you.

17 Therefore I toke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake thē before your eies.

18 And I fel downe before the Lord: fortie daies, and fortie nights, as before: I nether ate bread nor dranke water, because of all your sinnes, which ye had committed; in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.

19 [For I was afraied of the wrath and indi∣gnacion, where with the Lord was moued against you (euen) to destroye you] yet the Lord heard me at that time also.

20 Likewise the Lord was verie angry with Aaron (euen) tol 1.224 destroye him: but at that time I praied also for Aarón.

21 And I toke your sinne (I meane) the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and grounde him smale, euen vnto verie dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of them 1.225 Mount.

22 Also * in Taberah and in * Massáh * and in Kibrothhattaauáh ye prouoked the* 1.226 Lord to angre.* 1.227

23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from* 1.228 Kadesh-barnéa, saying, Govp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye n 1.229 rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleued him not nor hearkened vnto his voyce.

24 Ye haue bene rebellions vnto the Lord, since the daie that I knewe you.

25 Then I fel downe before the Lord o 1.230 fortie daies and fortie nights, as I fel downe (be∣fore) because the Lord, had said that he wolde destroye you,

26 And I praied vnto the Lord & said, O Lord God, destroye not thy people and thine in heritāce, which thou hast redemed through thy greatnes whome thouhast broght out of Egypt by a mightie hand.

27 p 1.231 Remēber thy seruāts Abrahám, Izhák, & Iaakób: loke not to the stuburnes of his people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne.

28 Lest the countrey, whence thou broghtest* 1.232 thē, say, * Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he pro mised them, or because he hated thē, he ca ried thē out, to slaye thē in the wildernes.

29 Yet thei are thy people, and thine inheri∣tance, which thou broghtest out by thy mightie power, & by thy stretched out arme

CHAP. X.

5 The seconde tables put in the Arke. 8 The tribe of Leui is dedicate to the seruice of the Tabernacle. 12 What the Lord requireth of his, 16 The circumcision of the heart. 17 God regardeth not the persone, 21 The Lord is the praise of Israél.

1 IN the same time the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 said vnto me, * Hewe thee two Tables of stone lyke* 1.233 vnto the first, and come vp vnto me into the Moūt, & make thee an Arke of wood

2 And I wil write vpon the Tables the wor∣des that were vpon the first Tables, which thou brakest, and thou shalt put thē in the Arke.

3 And I made an Arke of a 1.234 shittim wood, and he wed two Tables of stone like vnto the first, and went vp into the Mountaine, and the two Tables in mine hand.

4 Then he wrote vpō the Tables according to the first writing [the ten commande∣ments, which the Lord spake vnto you in the Mount out of the middes of the fire, in the daye of the b 1.235 assēblie] and the Lord gaue them vnto me.

5 And I departed, and came downe from the Mount, and put the Tables in the Arke which I made & there thei be, as the Lord commanded me.

6 ¶ And the childré of Israel toke their iour ney from Beereth of the children of Iaakā to c 1.236 Mosen where Aaron dyed: and was buryed, & Eleazár his sonne became Prièst in his steade.* 1.237

7 ¶ From thence thei departed vnto Gud∣godáh, and from Gudgodáh to Iotbáth a land of running waters.

8 ¶ The same time the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 separated the tribe of Leui to beare the Arke of the co∣uenant of the Lord (and) to stand before the Lord, to d 1.238 minister vnto him, & to bles se in his Name vnto this day.

9 Wherefore Leui hathe no partenor inhe∣ritance, with his brethren (for) the Lord is his e 1.239 inheritance, as the Lord thy God ha∣the promised him.

10 And I taried in the Mountas at the first ti∣me, fortie daies and fortie nights, and the Lord heard me at that time also (and) the Lord wolde not destroye thee.

11 But the Lord said vnto me, Arise, go for the in the iourney before the people, that thei may go in and possesse the land which I sware vnto their fathers to giue vnto them,

12 ¶ And now, Israél, what doeth the Lord thy Godf 1.240 require of thee, but to feare the Lord thy God, to walke in all his 〈◊〉〈◊〉, & to louc him, and to serue the lord thy God with all thine heart, & with all thy soule?

13 That thou kepe the commandements of the Lord, and his ordinances, which I com¦mande thee 〈◊〉〈◊〉 day for thy welth?

14 Beholde, heauen, and the heauen of heauēs (is) the Lords thy God, and the earth, with all that therein is.

15 g 1.241 Notwithstanding, the Lord set his delite in thy fathers to loue them, and dyd cho se their sede after them (euen) you aboue all people, as (appeareth) this day.

16 h 1.242 Circūcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and harden your neks no more.* 1.243

17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, & Lord of Lords, a great God, mightie & ter∣rible, which accepteth no * persones nor* 1.244 taketh rewarde:* 1.245

18 Who doeth right vnto the fatherles and* 1.246 widowe, and loueth the stranger, giuing him folde and rayment.

19 Loue ye therefore the strāger: for ye were strangers in the Land of Egypt.

20 * Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God: thou* 1.247 shalt serue him, and thou shalt cleaue vnto* 1.248 him, and i 1.249 shalt sweare by his Name.

21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that ha the done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eies haue sene.

22 Thy fathers wēt downe into Egypt * with* 1.250 seuentie persones, and now the Lord thy* 1.251* 1.252 God hathe made thee, as the * starres of the heauen in multitude.

1 An exhortacion to loue God, and kepe his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to The praises of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 18 To meditate continually the worde of God. 19 To 〈◊〉〈◊〉 it vnto the children. 26 Blessing & cursing.

1 THerefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt kepe that, which he cō∣mandeth to be kept that is, his ordinan∣ces, and his Lawes, & his commandements alwaie.

2 And a 1.253 consider this day [(for I speake not) to your childrē, which haue nether know en nor sene] the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnes, his mightie hand and his stretched out arme,

3 And his signes, and his actes, which he did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto all his land:

4 And what he did vnto the hoste of the Egy ptians, vnto their horses and to their cha∣retes, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerfloe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them vnto this day:

5 And b 1.254 what he did vnto you in the wilder∣nes, vntil ye came vnto this place:

6 And what he did vnto Dathán and Abirám the sonnes of Eliáb the sonne of Reubén, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their householdes & their tents, and all their substance that ” 1.255 thei had in the middes of all Israél.

7 For your eies haue sene all the great ac∣tes of the Lord which he did.

8 Therefore shal ye kepe c 1.256 all the com∣mandements, which I commande you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whether ye go to possesse it

9 Also that ye may prolong (your) daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their sede (euē) a land that floweth with milke and honie.

10 ¶ For the land whether thou goest to pos sesse it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy sede, and waterest it with “ 1.257 thy d 1.258 fete as a garden of herbes:

11 But the land whether ye go to possesse it, (is) a land of mountaines and valleis (and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.

12 This land doeth the Lord thy God care for the eies of the Lord thy God (are) al∣waies vpon it from the beginning of the yere, euen vnto the end of the yere.

13 ¶ If ye shal hearken therefore vnto my cō mandements, which I commāde you this day, that ye loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule.

14 I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, e 1.259 the first raine and the latter, that thou maiest gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle:

15 Also I wil send grasse in thy fields for thy cattel, that thou maiest eat, and haue y∣nough.

16 (But) bewarre lest your heart f 1.260 deceaue you, and lest ye turne aside, & serue other gods, and worship them,

17 And (so) the angre of the Lord be kindled against you, & he shutvp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your land yel de nother frute, and ye perish quickely from the goodlād, which the Lord giueth you.

18 ¶ Therefore shalye lay vp these my wor∣des in your heart & in your soule, & * bin∣de them for a signe vpon your hand, that* 1.261 they maie be as a frontelet betwene your eyes.

19 And ye shal * teache them your children,* 1.262 speaking of thē, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way and whē thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

20 And thou shalt write them vpon the po∣stes of thine house and vpon thy gates,

21 That your dayes maie be multiplied, and the dayes of your childrē, in the landwhich the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, aslong as g 1.263 the heauens are aboue the earth.

22 ¶ For if ye kepe diligently all these com∣mandements, which I commande you to do (that is) to loue the Lord your God to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto him.

23 Then wil the Lord cast out all these naciōs before you, & ye shal possesse great naciōs* 1.264 and mightier then you.

24 * Al the places wheron the soles of h 1.265 your fete shal treade, shalbe yours, your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Leba nôn, and from the Riuer (euen) the riuer Perâth, vnto the vttermost i 1.266 Sea.

25 No man shal stand against your (for) the Lord your God shal cast the feare & dread of you vpon all the land that ye shal tread vpon, as he hathe said vnto you.

26 ¶ Beholde, I set before you this day a bles∣sing and a curse:

27 * The blessing, if ye obey the commande∣ments* 1.267 of the Lord your God which I com¦mande you this day:

28 And the curse, if ye wil not obey the com¦mandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I cōmande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not k 1.268 knowen.

29 ¶ When the Lord thy God therefore ha∣the broght thee into the land, whether thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the * blessing vpon mount Gerizim, & the curse vpon mount Ebál.* 1.269

30 Are they not beyonde Iordén on that par* 1.270 te, l 1.271 where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer agaīst Gilgál, beside the groue of Moréh.

31 For ye shal passe ouer Iordên, to go in to* 1.272 possesse the land, which the Lord your God giueth you, and ye shal possesse it, and dwel therein.

32 Take hede therefore that ye * do all the* 1.273 commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.

CHAP. XII.

1 THese are the ordinances & the lawes, which ye shal obserue & do in the land [which the Lord God a 1.274 of thy fathers gi∣ueth thee to possesse it] as long as ye liue vpon the earth.

3 * Also ye shal ouerthrowe their altars, and* 1.276 breake downe their pillers, & burne their b 1.277 groues with fire: and ye shal hewe downe the grauen images of their gods, and abo lish their names out of that place.

4 Ye shal c 1.278 not so do vnto the Lord your God,

5 But ye shal seke the place which the Lord your god shal * chose out of all your tribes* 1.279* 1.280 to put his Name there (and) there to dwel, and thether thou shalt come,

6 And ye shal bring thether your burnt of∣frings, & your sacrifices, & your tithes, & the d 1.281 offring of your hands, & your vowes and your fre offrings & the first borne of your kine and of your shepe.

7 And there ye shal eat e 1.282 before the Lord

your God, and ye shal reioyce in all that ye put your handvnto (bothe) ye, and your housholdes, because the Lord thy God ha the blessed thee.

8 Ye shal not do after all these thīgs that we dof 1.283 here this day (that is) euerie man what∣soeuer semeth him good in his owne eyes.

9 For ye are not yet come to rest, and to the inheritāce which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

10 But when ye go ouer Iordên, and dwel in the land, which the Lord your God hathe giuen you to inherit, and (when) he hathe giuen youg 1.284 rest from all your enemies ro∣unde about, and ye dwel in safetie.

11 Whē there shalbe a place which the Lord your God shal chose, to cause his Name to dwel there, thether shal ye bring all that I commande you: your burnt offrings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offring of your hāds, and all your“ 1.285 special vowes which ye vow vnto the Lord:

12 And ye shal reioyce before the Lord your God, ye, & your sōnes and your daughters, and your seruants, and your maidens, and* 1.286 the leuite that is within your gates: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for he hathe no parte nor inheritāce with you

13 Take hede that thou offer not thy burnt offrings in euerie place that thou seest:

14 But in the place which the Lord shalh 1.287 cho se in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt of∣fer thy burnt offrings, & there thou shalt do all that I commande thee.

15 Notwithstāding thou maist kil & eat flesh in all thy gates, what so euer thine heart desireth, according to thei 1.288 blessing of the Lord thy God which he hathe giuen thee, (bothe) the vncleane & the cleane may eat thereof,k 1.289 as of the roe bucke, & of the bart

16 Onely ye shal not eat the blood (but) pow re it vpon the earth as water.

17 ¶ Thou maiest not 〈◊〉〈◊〉 within thy gates thel 1.290 tithe of thy corne, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of thy wine, nor of thine oyle; nor the first borne of thy kine, nor of thy shepe, nether anie of thy vowes which thou vowest, nor thy fre offrings, nor the offring of thine hands.

18 But thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shal chose, thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruant, & thy maid, & the Leuite, that is within thy gates: and thou shalt reioyce before the Lord thy God, in al that thou puttest thine hand to.* 1.291

19 * Beware, that thou forsake not the Leui∣te, as long as thou liuest vpon the earth.

20 ¶ When the Lord thy God shal enlarge* 1.292 thy border, * as he hathe promised thee,* 1.293 and thou shalt say, I wil eat flesh, [because thine heart lōgeth to catflesh] thou maist eat flesh, what soeuer thine heart desireth.

21 If the place which the Lord thy God hathe chosen to put his Name there, be far from thee, then thou shalt kil of thy bullockes and of thy shepe which the Lord hathe gi∣uen thee, as I haue commanded thee: and thou shalt eat in thy gates, what soeuer thine heart desireth.

22 Euen as the roe bucke and the hart is ea∣ten, so thou shalt eat them (bothe) the vn∣cleane and the cleane shal eat of thē alike

23 Only be” 1.294 sure that thou eat not the blood for the bloodm 1.295 is the lyfe, and thou maist not eat the life with the flesh.

24 (Therefore) thou shalt not eat it (but) powreit vpon the earth as water.

25 Thou shalt not eat it, that it may go wel with thee, and with thy childrē after thee when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord:

26 But thinen 1.296 holy things which thou hast, & thy vowes thou shalt take vp, and come vnto the place which the Lord shal chose.

27 And thou shalt make thy burnt offrings of the flesh, and of the blood vpon the al∣tar of the Lord thy God, and the blood of thine offrings shal be powred vpon the al∣tar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

28 Take hede, and heare all these wordes which I cōmand thee, that it may goo 1.297 wel with thee, and with thy childrē after thee for euer, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.

30 Beware, lest thou be taken inp 1.298 a snare af∣ter them, after that they be destroyed be fore thee 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and lest thou aske after their gods, saying. How did these nacions serue their gods, that I may do so likewise?

31 Thou shalt not do so vnto the Lord thy God: for all abominacion, which the Lord hateth, haue they done vnto their gods: for they haueq 1.299 burned bothe their sonnes and their daughters with fire to their gods

feare him, & shal kepe his commandements and hearken vnto his voyce, & ye shall serue him, and cleaue vnto him.

5 But that prophet, or that dreamer of drea∣mes he shald 1.307 be slaine, because he hath spo∣ken to turne you away from the Lorde your God [whiche broght you out of the land of Egipt, & deliuered you out of the house of bondage] to thrust thee out of the way, whe rein the Lord thy God commanded thee to walke: so shalt thou take the euil away forth of the middes of thee.

2 Therefore shall they haue no inheritance a∣mong their brethren: (for) the Lorde is their inheritance, as he hathe said vnto them.

3 ¶And thys shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, whyche offer sacrifice, whether (it be) bullocke or shepe, shall giue vnto the Priest theb 1.396 shulder, ād the two che∣kes, and the mawe.

4 The firste frutes (also) of thycorne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the firste of the flece of thy shepe shalt thou giue him.

5 For the Lorde thy God hathe chosen hym out of all thy tribes, to stande and minister in the Name of the Lorde, him, and hys son∣nes for euer.

6 ¶ Also when a Leuite shall come out of a∣nie of thy cities of Israél, where he remai∣ned, and come wythc 1.397 all the desire of hys hearte vnto the place, whyche the LORD shall chose.

7 He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as al his brethren the Leuites, whiche remaine there before the Lorde.

9 When thou shalt come into the land whiche the Lorde thy God giueth thee, thou shalte not learne to do after the abominacions of those nacions.

10 Let none be founde amonge you that ma∣keth his sonne or his daughter toe 1.399 go throu ghe the fire, (or) that vseth witchcraft, (or) a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer.

12 For all that do suche thyngs (are) abomina∣cion vnto the Lorde, and because of these a∣bominacions the Lord thy God doeth caste them out before thee.

13 Thou shalt bef 1.402 vpryght therefore with the Lord thy God.

14 For these nacions whiche thou shalt pos∣sesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the tymês, and vnto sorcerers:“ 1.403 as for thee, the Lord thy God hathe not suffered thee so.

15 ¶ * The Lord thy God wil raise vp vnto thee* 1.404

18 * I wil raise thē vp a Prophet from among* 1.407 their brethren like vnto thee, & will put my* 1.408 wordes in hish 1.409 mouth, & he shall speake vn∣to them all that I shal commande him.

19 And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name,* 1.410 I wili 1.411 require it of him.

20 But the prophet that shal presume to spake a worde in my Name, whiche I haue not commanded him to speake, or that spaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shaldye.

21 And if thou thinke in thine heart, How shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hathe not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thingk 1.412 follow not nor come to passe, that is the thyng whiche the Lorde hathe not spoken, (but) the prophet hathe spoken it presumpteously: thou shalt not (therefore) be afrayed of him.

2 * Thou shalt separate thre cities for thee in* 1.414 * 1.415 the middes of thy land which the Lord thy* 1.416 God giueth thee to possesse it.

3 Thou shalta 1.417 prepare thee the waie, & deuide the coastes of the land, whiche the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherit, into thre partes that euerieb 1.418 manslayer may fleeth ether.

4 ¶This also is the cause wherefore the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 shall flee thether, and liue: who so kil∣leth his neighbour ignorantly, and hated him not in time passed:

5 As he that goeth vnto the wood with hys neighbour to hewe wood, & his hand stri∣keth with the axe to cut downe the tre, if the head slip from the helue, and hitte his neighbour that he dyeth, the samec 1.419 〈◊〉〈◊〉 flee vnto one of the cities, and liue.

6 Lest the* auenger of the blood followe after the manslaier, while his heart is chafed, and* 1.420 ouertake hym, because the way is long, and slay him, althogh he be not“ 1.421 worthi of death because he hated him not in time passed.

7 Wherefore I commande thee, saying, Thou shalt appoint out thre cities for thee.

8 And when the Lord thy Godd 1.422 enlargeth thy coastes [as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers] and giueth thee al the land which he promi∣sed to giue vnto thy fathers.

9 [If thou kepe all these commandements to do them, whiche I commande thee this day: (to wit,) that thou loue the Lord thy GOD, and walke in his waies for euer] * thē shalt* 1.423 thou adde thre cities mo for thee besides those thre.

10 That innocent blood be not shed within thy land, whiche the Lorde thy God giueth thee to inherit,e 1.424 lest blood be vpon thee.

11 ¶ But if a man hate his neighbour, and laye waite for him, and rise against him, and smite any man that he dye, and flee vnto any of these cities.

12 Then thef 1.425 Elders of his citie shall send and fet hym thence, and deliuer hym into the hands of the auenger of the blood, that he may dye.

13 Thineg 1.426 eie shal not spare him, but thou shalt put away (the crye) of innocent blood from Israél, that it may go wel with thee.

14 ¶ Thou shalt not remoue thy neighbours marke, whiche they of olde time haue set in thine inheritance, that thou shalt inherit in the land, whiche the Lorde thy God giueth thee to possesse it.

15 ¶ * One witnes shal not rise again a man for* 1.427 * 1.428 any trespas, or for any sinne, or for any faute* 1.429 that he offendeth in, * (but) at the mouth of* 1.430 two witnesses or at the mouthe of thre wit∣nesses* 1.431 shall the matter be stablished.

16 ¶ If a false witnes rise vp against a man to accuse him of trespasse.

17 Thē bothe the men whiche striue together shall stand before theh 1.432 Lord, (euen) before the Priests, and the Iudges, whiche shalbe in those daies.

18 And the Iudges shall make diligent inquisi∣cion: & if the witnes be founde false, (and) hathe giuen false witnes against his brother

19 * Thē shal ye do vnto him as he had thoght* 1.433 to do vnto his brother: so thou shalt take e∣uil* 1.434 away for the of the middes of thee.

20 And the rest shal heare (this,) and feare, and shall hence for the commit no more any such wickednes among you.

21 Therefore thine 〈◊〉〈◊〉 shal haue no cōpassion (but) * life for life, eie for eie, to the for to the,* 1.435 hand for hand, fote for fote.* 1.436 * 1.437

13 And the Lord shal make thee the head, and not the“ 1.591 tayle, and thou shalt be aboue onely and shalt not be beneth, if thou obey the commandemēts of the Lord thy God, which I commande thee this day, to kepe and to do (them.)

14 But thou shalt not decline from anie of the wordes, which I commande you this day, (ether) to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serue them.* 1.592

15 ¶ * But if thou wilt not obey the voyce of* 1.593 the Lord thy God, to kepe and to do all his* 1.594 commandements and his ordinances, which* 1.595 I commande thee this day, thē all these cur∣ses shal come vpon thee, and ouertake thee.

16 Cursed shalt thou be in the towne, and cur∣sed also in the field.

17 Cursed shal thy basket be, and thy“ 1.596 dough.

18 Cursed shal be the frute of thy body, ād the frute of thy land, the increase of thy kine, ād the flockes of thy shepe.

19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed also when thou goest out.

20 The Lord shal send vpon thee cursing, trou ble, and“ 1.597 shame, in all that which thou set∣test thine hād to do, vntil thou be destroyed and perish quickely, because of the wicked nes of thy workes whereby thou hast for∣saken me.

21 The Lord shal make the pestilence cleaue vnto thee vntil he hathe cōsumed thee from the land, whether thou goest to possesse it.* 1.598

22 * The Lotd shal smite thee with a consum∣ption, and with the feauer, and with a bur∣ning ague, and with seruent heat,“ 1.599 and with the sword, and with blasting, and with the milde we, and they shal pursue the vntil thou perish.

23 And thine heauen that is ouer thine head, shalbek 1.600 brasse, and the earth that is vnder thee, yron.

24 The Lord 〈◊〉〈◊〉 giue thee for the raine of thy land, dust and ashes: (euen) from“ 1.601 heauen shal it come downe vpon thee, vntil thou be destroyed.

25 (And) the Lord shal cause thee to fall before thine enemies: thou shalt come out one way against them, and shalt flee seuen wayes be∣fore them, and shalt bel 1.602 scatered through all the kingdomes of the earth.

26 And thym 1.603 carke is shal be meat vnto all fou∣les of the ayre, and vnto the beastes of the earth, and none shal fray them away.

27 The Lord wil smite thee with the botche of Egypt, and with the emeroides, and with the skab, and with the itche, that thou canst not be healed.

28 And the Lord shal smite thee with madnes, and with blindnes, and with astonying of heart.

29 Thou shalt also grope at noone daies, as then 1.604 blinde gropeth in darckenes, and shalt not prosper in thy waies: thou shalt neuer but be oppressed with wrong, and be poulled euermore and no man shal succour (thee.)

30 Thou shalt betrothe a wife, and another mā shal lie with her: thou shalt buylde an house, and shalt not dwel therein: thou shalt plant a vineyarde and shalt not” 1.605 eat the frute.

31 Thine oxe shal be slayne before thine eies, and thou shalt 〈◊〉〈◊〉 eat there of: thine asse shal be wiolently taken away before thy face, ād shal not be restored to thee: thyshepe shalbe giuen vnto thine enemies, and no man shall rescue (them) for thee.

32 Thy sonnes and thy daughters shalbe giuen vnto another people, and thine 〈◊〉〈◊〉o 1.606 shal stil loke for them, euen til they fall out, and there shal be no power in thine hand.

33 The frute of thy land and all thy labours shal a people, which thou knowest not, ear, and thou shalt neuer but suffer wrong, and violence alway:

34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight which thine eies shal se.

35 The Lord shal smite thee in the knees, and in the thighes, with a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 botche, that thou canst not be healed: euen from the sole of thy fote vnto the top of thine head.

36 The Lord shal bring thee and thyp 1.607 King [which thou shalt set ouer thee] vnto ana∣cion, which nether thou nor thy fathers ha∣ue knowen, and there thou shalt serue other gods: (euen) wood and stone,

37 And thou shalt * be a wonder, a prouerbe &* 1.608 a commune talke among al people, whether the Lord shal cary thee.* 1.609

38 * Thou shalt cary out muche sede into the* 1.610 field, and shalt gather but litle in: for the gres∣hoppers shal destroye it.

39 Thou shalt plante a vineyarde and dresse it, but shalt nether drinke of the wine, nor ga∣ther (the grapes): for the wormes shal eat it.

40 Thou shalt haue oliue trees in al thy coastes but shalt not anoint thy self with the oyle: for thine olines shal“ 1.611 fall.

41 Thou shalt beget sonnes, and daughters, but shalt not haue them: for thei shal go into captiuitie.

42 All thy trees and frute of thy landq 1.612 shal the greshopper consume.

43 The stranger that is among you, shal clime aboue thee vp on hye, and thou shalt come downe beneth alowe.

44 He shall lend thee, and thou shalte not lend hym: he shalbe the head, and thou shalt be the tayle.

45 Moreouer, all these curses shal come vpon thee, and shall pursue thee ād ouertake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou obey∣edst not the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe his comman dements, and his ordinan ces, whiche he commanded thee:

46 And they shalbe vponr 1.613 thee for signes and wonders, and vpon thy sede for euer.

47 Because thou seruedst not the LORD thy God with ioyfulnes and with a good hearte for the abundance of all thyngs.

48 Therefore thou shalte serue thine enemies which the Lord shal send vpon thee, in hon∣ger ād in thrust, and in nak ednes, ād in nede of al things: and he shal put a yoke of yron v∣pon thy necke vntil he haue destroyed thee

49 The Lord shall bryng a nacion vpon thee from far. (euen) from the end of the worlde, flying (swift) as an egle: a nacion whose ton∣gue thou shalt not vnderstand:

50 A nacion of a“ 1.614 fierce countenance, whiche wil not regarde the persone of the olde, nor haue compassion of the yong.

51 The same shal eat the frute of thy cattel, and the frute of thy lande vntyll thou be destro∣yed, and he shall leaue thee nether wheat, wine, nor oyle, (nether) the“ 1.615 increase of thy kyne, nor the flockes of thy shepe, vntill he haue broght thee to noght.

52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy cities, vntil thine hye and strong walles fal downe, wherein thou trustedst in all the land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy“ 1.616 cities through∣out all thylande, whiche the Lorde thy God hathe giuen thee.

53 * And thou shalt eat the frute of thy bodie:* 1.617 * 1.618 (euen) the flesh of thy sonnes ād thy daugh∣ters,* 1.619 whiche the Lorde thy God 〈◊〉〈◊〉 giuen* 1.620 thee, duryng the siege and straitnes wherein thine enemie shal in close thee:

54 (So that) the man [that is tender and exce∣ding* 1.621 deintie among you] * shalbe grieued at his brother and at his wife, (that lyeth) in his bosome, and at the remnant of his children, whiche he hathe yet left.

55 For feare of gyuynge vnto anie of them of the fleshe of his children, whom he shal eat, because he hathe nothynge left hym in that siege, and straitnes, wherewith thyne ene∣mie shalbesiege thee in allthy cities.

56 The tender and deinties 1.622 woman amonge you, whiche neuer wolde venture to set the sole of her fote vpon the grounde [for her softenes and tendernes] shalbe grieued at her housbande, (thatlyeth) in her bosome, and at her sonne, and at her daughter.

57 And at hert 1.623 afterbyrth [that shall come out from betwene herfete] and at her chyldren, whiche she shal beare: for when all thyngs lacke, she shal eat them secretly, duryng the the siege and straitnes, where with thine ene∣mie shal besiege thee in thy cities.

58 ¶ If thou wilte not kepe and dou 1.624 all the wordes of thys Lawe [that are written in thys boke] and feare thys glorious and feare full name the Lord thy God.

59 Then the Lord wil make thy plagues won∣derfull, and the plagues of thy sede, (euen) great plagues and of long continuance, and sore diseases, and of long durance.

60 Moreouer, he will bryng vpon thee all the diseases of Egypt, whereof thou wast afra∣yed, and they shal cleaue vnto thee.

61 And euerie sickenes, and euerie plague, whiche is notx 1.625 written in the boke of thys Lawe, wil the Lorde heape vpon thee, vntill thou be destroyed.

62 And ye shalbe left fewe in nomber, where ye were as the * starres of heauen in multi∣tude, because thou woldest not obey the voy* 1.626 ce of the Lord thy God.

63 And as the Lord hathe reioyced ouer you, to do you good, and to multiplie you, so he wyll reioyce ouer you, to destroye you, and brynge you to noght, and ye shalbe rooted out of the lande, whether thou goest to pos∣sesse it.

64 And the Lord shaly 1.627 scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the worlde vn∣to the other, ād there thou shalt serue other gods, whiche thou hast not knowen nor thy fathers, (euen) wood and stone.

65 Also among these nacions thou shalt finde no rest, nether shall the sole of thy fote haue rest: for the Lord shal giue thee there a trem∣bling heart, and (lokyng to returne) til thine eies fall out, and a sorowfull minde.

66 And thy lyfe shall“ 1.628 hang before thee, and thou shalt feare bothe nyght and daye, and shalt haue none assurance of thy life.

67 In the mornynge thou shalte saye, Wolde God it were euenyng, and at euenynge thou shalt say, Wolde God it were mornyng, for the feare of thine heart, whiche thou shalte feare, and for the sight of thyne eies, whiche thou shalt se.

68 And the Lorde shall bryng thee into Egypt agayne withz 1.629 shippes by the way, whereof I sayd vnto thee, Thou shalt se it no more a∣gayne: and there ye shall sel your selues vnto your enemyes for bondemen and bounde women, and there (shalbe) no byer.

CHAP. XXIX.

2 The people are exhorted to obserue the cōmandements. 10 The whole people from the hiest to the lowest are cō prehēded vnder gods couenāt. 19 The punishmēt of him that flatereth him selfe in his wickednes. 24 The cause of Gods wrath against his people.

1 THese are thea 1.630 wordes of the couenaunt whiche the Lorde commanded Mosés to make with the children of Israél in the lande of Moáb beside the couenant which he had made with them inb 1.631 Horéb.

2 ¶ And Mosés called all Israél, and sayd vnto

them, Ye haue sene all that the Lord did be∣fore your eies in the land of Egypt vnto Pha raóh and vnto all his seruaunts, and vnto all his land.

3 Thec 1.632 great tentacions which thine eies ha∣ue sene, those great miracles and wonders.

4 Yet the LORDE hathe not* 1.633 giuen you an heart to perceiue, and eies to se, and eares to heare, vnto this day.

5 And I haue led you fourtie yere in the wil∣dernes: your clothes are not waxed olde vp∣pon you, nether is thy shooe waxed olde vp∣pon thy fote.

6 Ye haue eaten noe 1.634 breade, nether dronke wine, nor strong drinke, that ye might know, how that I am the Lord your God.

7 After ye came vnto thys place, and Sihón Kyng of Heshbón, and Og Kyng of Bashán came out agaynste vs vnto battell, and we slewe them.

8 And toke their land, and gaue it for an inhe∣ritance vnto the Reubenites, and to the Ga∣dites, and to the halfe tribe of Manasséh.* 1.635

9 *Kepe therefore the wordes of thys coue∣nant and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye shall do.

10 Ye stand this day euerie one of you before the Lorde yourf 1.636 God: your heades of your tribes, your Elders and your officers, (euen) all the men of 〈◊〉〈◊〉:

11 Your children, your wiues, and thy stranger that is in thy campe from the hewer of thy wood, vnto the drawer of thy water.

12 That thou shuldestg 1.637 passe into the coue∣naunt of the Lorde thy God, and in to his o∣the whiche the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day.

13 For to establish thee this day a people vnto himself, ād that he may be vnto thee a God, as he hathe sayd vnto thee, and as he hathe sworne vnto thy fathers, Abrahám, Izhák, and Iaakób.

14 Nether make I this couenant, and this othe with you onely.

15 But (as wel) with him that standeth here with vs this day before the Lord our God, as with himh 1.638 that is not here with vs this day.

16 For ye knowe, howe we haue dwelt in the land of Egypt, & how we passed through the middes of the nacions, which ye passed by.

17 And ye haue sene their abominacions and their idoles [wood, and stone, siluer and gol∣de] which were among them.

18 That there shulde not be among you man nor woman, nor familie, nor tribe, whiche* 1.639 shulde turne his heart away thys day frome the Lord our God, to go and serue the gods of these nacions, (and) that there shulde not be among you ⁱ (anie) roote that bryngeth fourth gall and worme wood.

19 So that when he heareth the wordes of this curse, he“ 1.640 blesse him selfe in hys hearte say∣ing, I shall haue peace, althogh I walke ac∣cordynge to the stubbernes of myne owne heart, thus addingk 1.641 dronk ennes to thirst.

20 The Lord will not be mercyfull vnto hym, but then the wrath of the Lorde and hysie∣lousie shall smoke against that man, and eue∣rie curse that is written in thys boke, shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shall put out his name from vnderheauen.

21 And the Lord shall separate hym vnto euill out of all the tribes of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, accordyng vn∣to al the curses of the couenant, that is writ∣ten in the boke of this Lawe.

22 So that the generaciō to come, (〈◊〉〈◊〉) your* 1.642 children, that shall ryse vp after you, and the stranger that shall come from a farre lande, shall saye, when they shall se the plagues of this lande, and the diseases thereof, where∣with the Lorde shal smite it:

23 [(For) all that lande (shall) burne with brim∣stone and salt it shal not be sowen, nor bring fourth, nor anie grasse shal growe therin, like as in the ouerthrowing of *Sodom, and Go∣moráh,* 1.643 Admáh, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthrewe in his wrath and in his angre]

24 Then shall all nacions saye, * Wherefore* 1.644 * 1.645 hathe the Lorde done thus vnto this lande? how fearce (is) this great wrath?

25 And they shal answer, Because they haue for sakē the couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, whē he broght them out of the land of Egypt.

26 And went and serued others gods and wor shipped thē: (euen) gods which they knewe not, and“ 1.646 which had giuen them nothing.

27 Therefore the wrath of the Lorde waxed hote agaynst this land, to bring vpon it eue∣rie curse that is written in this boke.

28 And the Lorde hathe rooted them out of their land in angre, and in wrath, and in great indignacion, and hathe caste them into ano∣ther land, as (appeareth) this day.

29 Them 1.647 secret thyngs (belong) to the Lorde our God, but the things reueiled (belong) vn to vs, and to our children for euer, that we may do all the wordes of this Law.

CHAP. XXX.

1 Mercie shewed when they repent. 6 The Lord doeth cir∣cumcise the heart. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 All excuse of ignorance is taken a∣way. 19 Life and death is set before them. 20 The Lorde is their life which obey him.

1 NOw when all these things shall come vp∣pō thee, (ether) the blessing or the curse which I haue set before thee, ād thou shalta 1.648 turne into thine heart, among all the naciōs whether the Lord thy God hath driuē thee.

2 And shalt returne vnto the Lorde thy God, and obey hys voyce in all that I commande thee this day: thou, and thy children with all thineb 1.649 heart and with all thy soule.

3 Then the Lorde thy God will cause thy' cap∣tiues to returne, and haue compassion vpon thee, and will returne, to gather thee out of all the people, where the Lord thy God had scatered thee.

4 Thogh thou werest caste vnto the vtmost parte ofc 1.650 heauen, from thence will the Lord thy God gatherthee, ād from thence wil he

d 1.651 take thee.

5 And the Lord thy God wil bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possesse it, and he wil shewe thee fauour, and wil multiplie thee aboue thy fa∣thers.

6 And the Lord thy God wile 1.652 circumcise thi∣ne heart, and the heart of thy sede, that thou maist loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, that thou maist liue.

7 And the Lord thy God wil lay all these cur∣ses vpon thine enemies, and on them, that hate thee, and that persecute thee.

8 f 1.653 Returne thou therefore, & obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandements, which I commande thee this day.

9 And the Lord thy God wil make thee plen∣teous in euerie worke of thine hand, in the frute of thy body, and in the frute of thy cat∣tel, and in the frute of the land for thy welth for the Lord wil turne againe andg 1.654 reioyce ouer thee to do thee good, as he reioyced ouerthy fathers,

10 Because thou shalt obey the voyce of the Lord thy God, in keping his commandemēts and his ordinances, which are written in the boke of this Lawe, when thou shalt returne vnto the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soule.

11 ¶ For this cōmandement which I comman∣de thee this day, ish 1.655 nothid frō thee, nether is it farre of.

12 It is not in heauen, that thou shuldest say, * Who shal go vp for vs to heauen, and bring* 1.656 it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may do it?

13 Nether is it beyonde thei 1.657 sea, that thou shul dest say, Who shal go ouer the sea for vs, and bring it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may do it?

14 But thek 1.658 worde is verie nere vnto thee: (euen) in thy mouth and in thine heart, for tol 1.659 do it.

15 Beholde, I haue set before thee this day life and good, death and euil.

16 In that I commande thee this day,m 1.660 to loue the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, ād to kepe his commandements, and his ordi∣nances, and his lawes that thou maiestn 1.661 liue and be multiplied, and that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in the land, whether thou goest to possesse it.

17 But if thine heart turne away, so that thou wilt not obey, but shalt be seduced and wor ship other gods, and serue them,

18 I pronounce vnto you this day that ye shal surely perish, ye shal not prolong your dayes in the land whether thou passest ouer Iordén to possesse it.* 1.662

19 * I call heauen and earth to recorde this day against you, (that) I haue set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therfo∣reo 1.663 chose life, that (bothe) thou and thy sede may liue,

20 By louing the Lord thy God, by obeying his voyce, and by cleauing vnto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy dayes: that thou maist dwel in the land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers, Abrahám, Izhák and Iaakób, to giue him.

CHAP. XXXI.

2. 7 Mosés preparing him selfe to dye, appointeth 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to rule the people. 9 He giueth the I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to the Leuites, that they shulde read it to the people. 19 God giueth thē a song as a witnes betwene him and them. 23 God 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Ioshúa, 29 Mosés 〈◊〉〈◊〉 them that they wil rebel after his death.

1 THen Mosés went and spake these wor∣des vnto all Israél,

2 And said vnto them, I am an hundreth and twentie yere olde this day: Ia 1.664 can no more go out and in: also the Lord hathe said vnto me, * Thou shalt not go ouer this Iordén.* 1.665

3 The Lord thy God he wil go ouer before* 1.666 thee. he wil destroy these naciōs before thee and thou shalt possesse thē. * Ioshúa, he shal* 1.667 go before thee, as the Lord hathe said.

4 And the Lord shal do vnto them, as he dyd to * Sihôn and to Og Kings of the Amorites* 1.668 and vnto their land whome he destroyed.

5 And the Lord shal giue themb 1.669 before you that ye may do vnto them according vnto euerie * commandement, which I haue cō∣manded you.* 1.670

6 Plucke vp your hearts therefore, and be* 1.671 strong: dread not, nor be afrayd of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doeth go with thee: he wil not fayle thee, nor forsake thee.

7 ¶ And Mosés called 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and said vnto him in the sight of all Israél, Bec 1.672 of a good courage and strong: for thou shalt go with this people vnto the land which the Lord hathe sworne vnto their fathers, to giue thē, and thou shalt giue it them to inherit.

8 And the Lord him selfe 〈◊〉〈◊〉 d 1.673 go before thee: he wilbe with thee: he wil not fayle thee, nether forsake thee: feare not (〈◊〉〈◊〉 re,) nor be discomforted.

9 ¶ And Mosés wrote this Lawe, and deliue∣red it vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Leui [which bare the Arke of the couenāt of the Lord] and vnto all the Elders of Israél,

10 And Mosés cōmanded them, saying, *Eue∣rie seuenth yere* when the yere of fredome* 1.674 * 1.675 (shalbe) in the feast of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉:

11 When all Israél shal come to appearee 1.676 befo re the Lord thy God, in the place which he shal chose, thou shalt read this Lawe before all Israél that they may heare it.

12 Gather the people together: men, and wo∣men, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may heare, and that they may learne, and feare the Lord your God, and kepe, and obserue all the wordes of this Lawe,

13 And that their children which f 1.677 haue not knowē it, may heare it, & learne to feare the Lord your God, as long as ye liue in the land, whether ye go ouer Iordén to possesse it.

14 ¶ Then the Lord said vnto Mosés, Beholde thy dayes are come, that thou must dye: Call Ioshúa, and stand ye in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion that I may giue him a“ 1.678 charge so Mosés and Ioshúa went, and stode in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion.

15 And the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle, in the piller of a g 1.679 cloude: and the piller of the cloude stode ouer the dore of the Taber∣nacle.

16 ¶ And the Lord said vnto Mosés, Beholde, thou shalt slepe with thy fathers, and this people wil rise vp, and go a whoring after the gods of a strange land [whether they go] (to dwel) therein, and wil forsake me, & breake my couenāt which I haue made with them.

17 Wherefore my wrath wil waxe hote against them at that day, and I wil forsake them, and wilh 1.680 hide my face from thē: then they shalbe consumed, and many aduersities and tribula cions shal come vpon them: so then they wil say, Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me?

18 But I wil surely hide my face in that day, be∣cause of all the euil, which they shal commit in that they are turned vnto other gods.

19 Now therefore write ye thisi 1.681 song for you, and teache it the children of Israél: put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my wit∣nes against the children of Israél.

20 For I wil bring them into the land [which I sware vnto their fathers] that floweth with milke and honie, and they shal eat, and fil them selues, and waxe fat:k 1.682 then shal they turne vnto other gods, and serue them, and contemne, and breake my couenant.

21 And then when manie aduersities and tri∣bulacions shal come vpon them, this song shall 1.683 answer them to their face as a witnes: for it shal not be forgotten out of the mou∣thes of their posteritie: for I knowe their imaginacion, which they go about enē now before I haue broght them into the land which I sware.

22 ¶ Mosés therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israél.

23 And (God) gaue Ioshúa the sonne of Nun a* 1.684 charge, and said, * Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israél into the land, which I sware vnto thē, and I wil be with thee.

24 ¶ And when Mosés had made an end of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a boke vntil he had finished them,

25 Then Mosés cōmanded the Leuites, which barethe Arke of the couenant of the Lord, saying,

26 Take the boke of this Law, and putye it in the side of the Arke of the couenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for am 1.685 witnes against thee.

27 For I knowethy rebellion & thy stiffe nec∣ke: beholde, I being yet aliue with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: how muche more then after my death?

28 Gather vnto me all the Elders of your tri∣bes, and yourn 1.686 officers, that I may speake these wordes in their audience, and call hea∣uen and earth to recorde against them.

29 For I am sure that after my death ye wil vt∣terly be corrupt and turne from the way, which I haue commanded you: therefore euil wil come vpon you at the length, becau∣se ye wil commit euil in the sight of the Lord by prouoking him to angre through theo 1.687 worke of your handes.

30 Thus Mosés spake in the audience of all the Congregacion of Israél the wordes of this song, vntil he had ended them.

CHAP. XXXII.

7 The song of Mosés conteining Gods benefites toward the people. 15 And their in gratitude toward him 20 God menaceth them. 21 And speaketh of the vocation of the Gentiles. 46 Mosés commandeth to teache the Lawe to the children. 48 God fore warneth Mosés of his death.

1 HEarkenyea 1.688 heauens, and I wil speake: and let the earth heare the wordes of my mouth.

2 Myb 1.689 doctrine shal drop as the raine, (and) my speache shal stil as doeth the dewe, as the shoure vpon the herbes, and as the great rai∣ne vpon the grasse.

3 For I wil publishe the Name of the Lord: gi∣ue ye glorie vnto our God.

4 Perfect is the worke of thec 1.690 mighty God: for all his wayes (are) iudgement. God is true and without wickednes: iust, and righteous is he.

5 They haue corrupted them selues toward him by their vice, not being his children, (but) a frowarde and crooked generacion.

6 Do ye so rewarde the Lord, ô foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hathe boght thee? he hathed 1.691 made thee, and pro∣portioned thee.

7 ¶ Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeres of so manie generacions: aske thy fa∣ther, and he wil shewe thee: thine Elders, & they wil tel thee.

8 When the most 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (God) deuided to the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 cions their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adám, he appointed the bor∣ders of the e 1.692 people according to the nom∣ber of the children of Israél.

9 For the Lords porciō (is) his people: Iaakób (is) the lot of his inheritance.

10 He founde him in the land of the wildernes in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taugh thim, (and) kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an egle stereth vp her nestf 1.693 flotereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, (and) beareth them on her wings,

12 (So) the Lord alone led him and there was no “ 1.694 strange god with him.

13 He caried him vp to the hie places of theg 1.695 earth, that he might eat the frutes of the fields and he caused him to suckeh 1.696 hony out of the stone and oyle out of the hard rocke:

14 Butter of kine, and milke of shepe with fat

of the lambs, and rams fed Bashán, and goa∣tes, wyth the fat of the graynes of wheat, and the red” 1.697 licour of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 haste thou dronke.

15 ¶ But (he that shulde haue bene)i 1.698 vpryght, when he waxed fat, spurned wyth hys hele: thou att fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therfore he forsoke God (that) made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluacion.

16 They prouoked hym withk 1.699 strange (gods:) they prouoked hym to angre wyth abomi∣nacions.

17 They offred vnto deuils, not to God, (but) to gods whom they knew not:l 1.700 newe (gods) that came newly vp, whome theyr fathers feared not.

18 Thou hast forgotten the myghtie GOD, (that) begate thee, and haste forgotten God that formed thee.

19 The Lord then sawe it, and was angry, for the prouocacion of hism 1.701 sonnes and of hys 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will se what their end shalbe: for they are a frowarde generacion, children in whome is no fayth.

21 They haue moued me to ielousie with (hat which is) not God: they haue prouoked me to angre with theyr vanities: * and I wyll* 1.702 moue them to ielousie with (those whiche are) non 1.703 people: I will prouoke them to an∣gre with a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nacion.

22 For fire is kyndled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bothome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the fundacions of the mountaines.

23 I will send plagues vppon them: I will be∣stowe mine arrowes vpon them.

24 (They shalbe) burnt with hunger, and con∣sumed wyth heat, and with bitter destructi∣on: I will also send the teeth of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vpon them, with the venime of serpents (〈◊〉〈◊〉) in the dust.

25 The sworde shallo 1.704 kill them without, and in the chambers feare bothe the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 man and the yong womā, the suckeling with the man of graye heere.

26 I haue said, I wolde scatter them abroade: I wolde make their remembrance to cease frō among men.

27 Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, lest their aduersaires shuldep 1.705 waxe proude, (and) lest they shulde saye, Our hye hand and not the Lord hathe done all this.

28 For they are a nacion voyde of counsel, ne∣ther is there (anie) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in them.

29 Oh that they were wise, (then) they wolde vnderstand this: they woldeq 1.706 consider their later 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

30 Howe shulde one chase a thousande, and two putten thousand to flight, except their strong God had solde them, and the Lorde had“ 1.707 shut them vp?

31 For their God (is) not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.

32 For their vine (is) of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomoráh: their grapes (are) grapes of gall, their clusters (be) bitter.

33 Theirr 1.708 wine (is) the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.

34 Is not this laid in store with me, (and) sea∣led vp among my treasures?

35 * Vengeance and recopense are mine: their* 1.709 fote shall slide in due time: for the daye of* 1.710 * 1.711 their destruction is at hand, and the thinges that shal come vpon them, make haste.

36 For the Lorde shall iudge his people, and“ 1.712 repent toward his seruantes, when he seeth that their power is gone, and nonef 1.713 shut vp (in holde) nor 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (abroad.)

37 When men shal say, Where are their gods, their myghtie God in whome their trusted?

38 Whyche did eat the fat of their sacrifices, (and) did drynke the wyne of theyr drynke offrynge 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hym ryse vp, and helpe you: let 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be your refuge.

39 Beholde now, for I, I am he, and there is no Gods 〈◊〉〈◊〉 me: * I 〈◊〉〈◊〉, ād giue life: I wounde,* 1.714 * 1.715 and I make whole: * nether is there (anie)* 1.716 that can deliuer out of mine hand.

40 For It 1.717 lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 euer.

41 If I whet my glitteryng sworde, and myne hand take holde on iudgement, I wil execute vengeance on mine enemies, and wyll re∣warde them that hate me.

42 I wyll make mine arrowes dronke wyth blood, [and my worde shall eat flesh] for the blood of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and of the captiues, whē I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.

43 * Ye nations, prayse hys people: for he will* 1.718 auenge theu 1.719 blood of hys seruauntes, and wyll execute vengeance vpon hys aduersa∣ries, and wil be merciful vnto his land, (and) to his people.

44 ¶ Then Mosés came and spake all the wor∣des of this song in the audience of the peo∣ple, he and“ 1.720 Hoshéa the sunne of Nun.

45 When Mosés had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israél.

46 Then he said vnto them, * Set your hearts* 1.721 vnto all the wordes which I testifie agaynst you this daye, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and do all the wordes of this Lawe.

47 For it is nox 1.722 vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whether ye go ouer lordén to possesse it.

48 * And the Lord spake vnto Mosés the selfe* 1.723 same day, saying.

49 Go vp into this mountaine of Abarim, vn∣to the mount Nebó, whiche is in the land of Moáb, that is ouer agaynst Ierichô: and be∣holde the land of Canáan, whiche I giue vn∣to the children of Israél for a possession.

50 And dye in the mount whyche thou goest* 1.724 * 1.725 vp vnto, and thou shalte be * gathered vnto thy people, * as Aarôn thy brother dyed in

mounte Hor, and was gathered vnto hys people.

51 Because ye * trespassed agaynst me among* 1.726 the children of Israél, at the waters“ 1.727 of Me∣ribáh. at Kadésh in the wildernes of Zin: for yey 1.728 sanctified me not among the children of Israél.

52 Thou shalt therfore se the land before thee, but shalt not go thither, (I meane,) into the land which I giue the children of Israél.

CHAP. XXXIII.

1 Mosés before his death blesseth all the tribes of Israél. 26 There is no God like to the God of Israél. 29 Nor anie people like vnto his.

1 NOw this is thea 1.729 blessing where with Mo∣sés the man of God blessed the children of Israél before his death, and said.

2 The LORD came from Sinái, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, (and) appeared cleare∣ly from mount Parán, and he came with tenb 1.730 thousandes of Saintes, (and) at hys ryght hand a firy Lawe for them.

3 Thogh he loue the people, (yet)c 1.731 all thy Saintes are in thine hands: and they are hum bled atd 1.732 thy fete, to receiue thy wordes.

4 Mosés commanded vs a Lawe for ane 1.733 inhe∣ritance of the Congregacion of Iaakób.

5 Thē“ 1.734 he was among the“ 1.735 righteous (people, as) King, when the heades of the people, ād the tribes of Israél were assembled.

6 ¶ Letf 1.736 Reubén liue, and not dye, thogh hys men be a small nomber.

7 ¶ And thus (he blessed) Iudáh, ād said, Heare, ô Lorde, the voice of Iudáh, and bryng hym vnto hys people: hys handes shalbe suffi∣cient for hym, if thou helpe hym against his* 1.737 ennemies.

8 ¶ And of Leui he sayd, Let thy * Thummim and thine Vrim be with thine holy one, whō* 1.738 thou didest proue in Massáh, (and) didest* 1.739 cause him to striue at the waters of Meribáh

9 Who sayd vnto hys father and to hys mo∣ther,h 1.740 I haue not sene hym, nether knewe he hys brethren, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 knewe hys owne chil∣dren: for they obserued thy worde, and kept* 1.741 thy couenant.

10 They shall teache Iaakób thy iudgements, and Israél thy Lawe: they shall put in cens before thy face, and the burnt offring vpon thine altar.

11 Blesse, ô Lorde, hys substance, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the worke of his hands:i 1.742 smite through the loines of them that rise agaynste him, and of thē that hate him, that they rise not againe.

12 ¶ Of Beniamin he said, The beloued of the Lord shalk 1.743 dwel in safety by him: (the Lord) shal couer hym all the day long, and dwel be∣twene his shulders.

13 ¶ And of Ioséph he said, Blessed of the Lord is (his) land for the swetenes of heauen, for the dewe, and“ 1.744 for the depth lying beneth.

14 And for the swete increase of the sunne, ād for the swete increase of the moone.

15 And for (the swetenes) of the top of the an∣cient mountaines, and for the swetenes of the olde hilles.

16 And for the swetenes of the earth, and abū dance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in thel 1.745 bushe, shal come vpō the head of Ioséph, and vpon the top of the head of him that was * separated (from) his brethrē.* 1.746

17 His beautie (shalbe like) his first borne bul∣locke,* 1.747 and“ 1.748 his hornes (as) the hornes of an vnicorne: with them he shal smite the people together, (euē) the ends of the worlde: these are also the ten thousands of Ephráim, and these are the thousands of Manasséh.

18 ¶ And of Zebulun he sayd, Reioyce, Zebu∣lun, in thym 1.749 going out, and (thou,) Ishachar, in thy tentes.

19 They shall call the people vnto the“ 1.750 moun∣taine:* 1.751 there they shall offer the sacrifices of ryghteousnes: forn 1.752 they shall sucke of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.

20 ¶ Also of Gad he said, Blessed be he that en∣largeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that cat∣cheth for his pray the arme with the head.

21 And he locked to hym selfe at the begyn∣nyng, because there was a porcion of theo 1.753 Lawe giuer hid: yet he shall come wyth the heads of the people, to execute the iustice of the Lord, and his iudgements with Israél.

22 ¶ And of Dan he said, Dan (is) aliōs whelpe he shal leape from Bashán.

23 ¶ Also of Naphtali he sayd, ô Naphtali, sa∣tisfied with fauour, and filled with the bles∣sing of the Lorde, possessep 1.754 the West and the South.

24 ¶ And of Ashér he said, Ashér (shalbe) bles∣sed with childrē: he shalbe acceptable vnto his brethren, and shal dip his fote in oyle.

25 Thy shooes (shalbe)q 1.755 yron and brasse, and thy strength (shall continue) as long as thou liuest.

26 ¶ There is none like God, ô righteous (peo ple,) which rideth vpō the heauēs for thine helpe, and on the cloudes in his glorie.

27 The eternal God (is thy) refuge, and vnder (his) armes thou arte for euer: he shall caste out the enemie before thee, and will say, de∣stroye (them.)

28 Then Israélr 1.756 the founteine of Iaakób shall dwell alone in safety in a land of wheat and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.

29 Blessed art thou, ô Israél: who is lyke vnto thee, ô people saued by the Lord, the shylde of thine helpe, and whiche is the sworde of thy glorie? therefores 1.757 thine enemies shalbe in subiection to thee, and thou shalte tread vpon their hie places.

CHAP. XXXIIII.

1 Mosés seeth all the lande of Canáan. 5 He dyeth. 8 Is∣raél wepeth. 9 Ioshua succedeth in Mosés rowme. 10 The prayse of Mosés.

1 THen Mosés went from the plaine of Mo∣áb vp into mounta 1.758 Nebō vnto the top of Pisgáh that is ouer agaynste Ierichó: and* 1.759 the Lorde shewed hym * all the lande of Gi∣leád,* 1.760 vnto Dan.* 1.761

2 And al Naphtali & the land of Ephráim and Manasséh, and all the land of Iudáh, vnto the vtmostb 1.762 sea:

3 And the South, & the plaine of the valley of Ierichó, the citie of palme trees, vnto Zoár.

4 And the Lord said vnto him, * This is the* 1.763 land which I sware vnto Abrahám, to Izhák and to Iaak ob, saying, I will giue it vnto thy sede I haue caused thee to se it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go ouer thither.

5 So Mosés the seruant of the Lorde dyed there in the land of Moáb, according to the worde of the Lord.

6 Andc 1.764 he buryed him in a valley in the land of Moáb ouer against Beth-peôr, but no man knoweth of his sepulchre vntod 1.765 this day.

7 Mosés was now an hundreth & twenty yere olde when he dyed: his eye was not dimme nor his naturall force abated.

8 And the children of Israél wept for Mosés in the plaine of Moáb thirty dayes: so the dayes of weping and mournyng for Mosés were ended.

9 Ande 1.766 Ioshúa the sonne of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdome: for Mosés had put his hands vpon him. And the children of Israéll were obedient vnto him, and did as the Lord had commanded Mosés.

10 But there arose not a Prophet since in Israél like vnto Mosés [whome the Lord knewef 1.767 face to face.]

11 In all the miracles and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt be∣fore Pharaóh and before al his seruants, and before all his land.

12 And in all that mightyg 1.768 hand and all that great feare, which Mosés wroght in the sight of all Israél.
