CHAP. VIII.
1 ALl the commandments which I command thee this day, shall ye observe to do, that ye may live a 1.1, and multiply, and go 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 possess the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which the LORD sware 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way b 1.2 which the LORD thy God •…•…ed thee those fourty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to * 1.3 prove thee to know c 1.4 what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no.
