There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. : Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. : For all that do these things are
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002603
an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. : Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. : For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so

twg_000000002605
LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. : And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. : I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002606
them all that I shall command him. : And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. : But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002607
speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. : And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? : When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002608
not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. : When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses; : Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of

twg_000000002609
thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. : Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither. : And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002610
live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; : As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002611
unto one of those cities, and live: : Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. : Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities
60

twg_000000002612
for thee. : And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; : If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever

in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: : That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. : But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him,

gutenberg
twg_000000002614
and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: : Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. : Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002615
Israel, that it may go well with thee. : Thou shalt not remove thy neighbours landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. : One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002616
in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. : If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; : Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002617
and the judges, which shall be in those days; : And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; : Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
60

: And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. : And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. : When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002619
and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. : And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, : And shall say unto them, Hear, O
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002620
Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; : For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. : And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002621
What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. : And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his

house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. : And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. : And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002623
shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethrens heart faint as well as his heart. : And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people. : When
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002624
thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. : And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. : And if it will make no
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002625
peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: : And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: : But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002626
spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. : Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. : But of the cities of these people, which the LORD
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002627
thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: : But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: : That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002628
have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God. : When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002629
tree of the field is mans life) to employ them in the siege: : Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued. : If one be found slain in the land
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002630
which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: : Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: : And it shall be, that the city which is next unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002631
the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; : And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifers neck there in the valley:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002632
: And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: : And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002633
wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: : And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. : Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israels charge. And the blood shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002634
be forgiven them. : So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. : When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002635
seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; : Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; : And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002636
and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. : And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002637
thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. : If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: : Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002638
he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: : But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002639
firstborn is his. : If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: : Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002640
his city, and unto the gate of his place; : And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. : And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002641
evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. : And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: : His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day;
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002642
(for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. : Thou shalt not see thy brothers ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. : And if thy brother be
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002643
not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. : In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002644
lost thing of thy brothers, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. : Thou shalt not see thy brothers ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. : The woman shall not wear that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002645
which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. : If a birds nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002646
or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: : But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. : When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002647
that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence. : Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. : Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. : Thou shalt not wear a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002648
garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. : Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself. : If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, : And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002649
I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: : Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsels virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: : And the damsels father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002650
unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; : And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. : And the elders of that city shall take that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002651
man and chastise him; : And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. : But if this thing be true,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002652
and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: : Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her fathers house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her fathers house: so shalt thou put evil
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002653
away from among you. : If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. : If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man

gutenberg
twg_000000002654
find her in the city, and lie with her; : Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: so thou shalt put away evil from
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002655
among you. : But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die. : But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002656
neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: : For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. : If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; : Then the
60

twg_000000002657
man that lay with her shall give unto the damsels father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. : A man shall not take his fathers wife, nor discover his fathers skirt. : He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his

privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. : A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. : An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002659
they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever: : Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. : Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002660
Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. : Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. : Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in

gutenberg
twg_000000002661
his land. : The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation. : When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. : If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then

shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: : But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. : Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: :

gutenberg
twg_000000002663
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: : For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall

gutenberg
twg_000000002664
thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. : Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: : He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him

gutenberg
twg_000000002665
best: thou shalt not oppress him. : There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. : Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the

gutenberg
twg_000000002666
LORD thy God. : Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: : Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002667
thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. : When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. : But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002668
no sin in thee. : That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. : When thou comest into thy neighbours vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou

gutenberg
twg_000000002669
shalt not put any in thy vessel. : When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbours standing corn. : When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour
60
gutenberg
twg_000000002670
in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. : And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another mans wife. : And if the latter husband hate her, and

write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; : Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the

twg_000000002672
LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. : When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which

twg_000000002673
he hath taken. : No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a mans life to pledge. : If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from

twg_000000002675
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. : Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee. : And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: : In any case thou shalt

deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. : Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy

the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. : Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widows raiment to pledge: : But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee
