00:02.120 --> 00:03.080
Chapter 4.

00:03.300 --> 00:07.360
Now therefore hearken, O Israel,
unto the statutes and unto the judgments

00:07.360 --> 00:08.600
which I teach you.

00:09.360 --> 00:14.380
For to do them, that ye may live,
and go in, and possess the land which the

00:14.380 --> 00:16.120
Lord God of your fathers giveth you.

00:17.160 --> 00:21.880
Ye shall not add unto the word which I
command you, neither shall ye diminish

00:21.880 --> 00:26.300
ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the Lord your God which I

00:26.300 --> 00:26.840
command you.

00:27.420 --> 00:31.100
Your eyes have seen what the Lord did,
because of Baal Peor.

00:31.840 --> 00:36.840
For all the men that followed Baal Peor,
the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from

00:36.840 --> 00:37.320
among you.

00:37.980 --> 00:43.220
But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your
God are alive, every one of you this day.

00:44.140 --> 00:49.100
Behold, I have taught you statutes and
judgments, even as the Lord my God

00:49.100 --> 00:53.600
commanded me, that ye should do so in the
land whither ye go to possess it.

00:54.400 --> 00:59.900
Keep therefore and do them, for this is
your wisdom and your understanding in the

00:59.900 --> 01:05.380
sight of the nations, which shall hear all
these statutes and say, Surely this great

01:05.380 --> 01:08.000
nation is a wise and understanding people.

01:08.500 --> 01:12.820
For what nation is there so great,
who hath God so nigh unto them,

01:13.100 --> 01:16.980
as the Lord our God is in all things that
we call upon Him for?

01:17.760 --> 01:21.840
And what nation is there so great,
that has statutes and judgments so

01:21.840 --> 01:25.900
righteous, as all this law, which I set
before you this day?

01:26.880 --> 01:32.460
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy
soul diligently, lest thou forget the

01:32.460 --> 01:36.820
things which thine eyes have seen,
and lest they depart from thy heart all

01:36.820 --> 01:37.900
the days of thy life.

01:38.380 --> 01:43.620
But teach them thy sons and thy sons'
sons, specially the day that thou stoodest

01:43.620 --> 01:49.160
before the Lord thy God in Horeb,
when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the

01:49.160 --> 01:53.960
people together, and I will make them hear
my words, that they may learn to fear me

01:53.960 --> 01:58.280
all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and that they may teach their

01:58.280 --> 01:58.620
children.

01:59.300 --> 02:03.900
And ye came near, and stood under the
mountain, and the mountain burned with

02:03.900 --> 02:09.040
fire unto the midst of heaven,
with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

02:09.680 --> 02:12.940
And the Lord spake unto you out of the
midst of the fire.

02:13.680 --> 02:19.120
Ye heard the voice of the words,
but saw no similitude, only ye heard a

02:19.120 --> 02:19.520
voice.

02:20.360 --> 02:25.700
And he declared unto you his covenant,
which he commanded you to perform even ten

02:25.700 --> 02:29.240
commandments, and he wrote them upon two
tables of stone.

02:30.200 --> 02:34.780
And the Lord commanded me at that time to
teach you statutes and judgments,

02:35.140 --> 02:38.500
that ye might do them in the land whither
ye go over to possess it.

02:39.800 --> 02:44.740
Take ye therefore good heed unto
yourselves, for ye saw no manner of

02:44.740 --> 02:49.060
similitude on the day that the Lord spake
unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the

02:49.060 --> 02:49.340
fire.

02:50.200 --> 02:55.080
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make your
graven image the similitude of any figure,

02:55.300 --> 02:59.720
the likeness of male or female,
the likeness of any beast that is on the

02:59.720 --> 03:04.640
earth, the likeness of any winged fowl
that flyeth in the air, the likeness of

03:04.640 --> 03:09.460
anything that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that is in the

03:09.460 --> 03:10.660
waters beneath the earth.

03:11.380 --> 03:15.740
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto
heaven, and when thou seest the sun,

03:15.880 --> 03:21.480
and the moon, and the stars, even all the
hosts of heaven, should it be driven to

03:21.480 --> 03:27.140
worship them, and serve them, which the
Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations

03:27.140 --> 03:28.400
under the whole heaven.

03:29.600 --> 03:33.760
But the Lord hath taken you, and brought
you forth out of the iron furnace,

03:34.060 --> 03:39.700
even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people
of inheritance, as ye are this day.

03:40.300 --> 03:45.440
Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me
for your sakes, and sware that I should

03:45.440 --> 03:50.260
not go over Jordan, and that I should not
go in unto that good land, which the Lord

03:50.260 --> 03:52.220
thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

03:52.900 --> 03:54.800
But I must die in this land.

03:55.260 --> 04:00.120
I must not go over Jordan, but ye shall go
over and possess that good land.

04:01.060 --> 04:06.160
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget
the covenant of the Lord your God,

04:06.160 --> 04:11.560
which he made with you, and make you a
graven image, or the likeness of anything

04:11.560 --> 04:13.680
which the Lord thy God hath forbidden
thee.

04:14.120 --> 04:18.760
For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire,
even a jealous God.

04:19.920 --> 04:24.260
When thou shalt beget children,
and children's children, and ye shall have

04:24.260 --> 04:28.400
remained long in the land, and shall
corrupt yourselves, and make a graven

04:28.400 --> 04:32.760
image, or the likeness of anything,
and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord

04:32.760 --> 04:37.920
thy God to provoke him to anger,
I call heaven and earth to witness against

04:37.920 --> 04:43.760
you this day, that ye shall soon utterly
perish from off the land whereunto ye go

04:43.760 --> 04:45.120
over Jordan to possess it.

04:45.760 --> 04:49.980
Ye shall not prolong your days upon it,
but shall utterly be destroyed,

04:50.160 --> 04:54.920
and the Lord shall scatter you among the
nations, and ye shall be left few in

04:54.920 --> 04:58.160
number among the heathen, whither the Lord
shall lead you.

04:58.920 --> 05:04.260
And there ye shall serve gods,
the work of men's hands, wood and stone,

05:04.600 --> 05:07.560
which neither see, nor hear, nor eat,
nor smell.

05:08.580 --> 05:13.800
But if from thence thou shalt seek the
Lord thy God, thou shalt find him.

05:14.480 --> 05:20.180
If thou seek him with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, when thou art in

05:20.180 --> 05:25.340
tribulation, and all these things are come
upon thee, even in the latter days,

05:25.720 --> 05:29.980
if thou turn to the Lord thy God,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice,

05:30.440 --> 05:36.660
for the Lord thy God is a merciful God,
he will not forsake thee, neither destroy

05:36.660 --> 05:41.660
thee, nor forget the covenant of thy
fathers, which he sware unto them.

05:42.520 --> 05:47.880
For ask now of the days that are past,
which were before thee, since the day that

05:47.880 --> 05:52.320
God created man upon the earth,
and ask from the one side of heaven unto

05:52.320 --> 05:57.100
the other, whether there hath been any
such thing as this great thing is,

05:57.100 --> 05:58.760
or hath been heard like it.

05:59.800 --> 06:03.460
Did ever people hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the fire,

06:03.700 --> 06:05.720
as thou hast heard, and live?

06:06.420 --> 06:11.860
Or hath God assayed to go and take him a
nation from the midst of another nation,

06:12.120 --> 06:17.400
by temptations, by signs, and by wonders,
and by war, and by a mighty hand,

06:17.940 --> 06:23.420
and by a stretched out arm, and by great
terrors, according to all that the Lord

06:23.420 --> 06:26.100
your God did for you in Egypt before your
eyes?

06:26.780 --> 06:33.800
Unto thee it was showed, that thou
mightest know that the Lord, he is God.

06:34.280 --> 06:36.000
There is none else beside him.

06:36.560 --> 06:40.480
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his
voice, that he might instruct thee.

06:40.700 --> 06:45.900
And upon earth he showed thee his great
fire, and thou heardest his words out of

06:45.900 --> 06:46.820
the midst of the fire.

06:47.560 --> 06:52.220
And because he loved thy fathers,
therefore he chose their seed after them,

06:52.220 --> 06:58.060
and brought thee out in his sight with his
mighty power out of Egypt, to drive out

06:58.060 --> 07:03.040
nations from before thee greater and
mightier than thou art, to bring thee in,

07:03.260 --> 07:06.880
to give thee their land for an
inheritance, as it is this day.

07:07.800 --> 07:12.080
Know therefore this day, and consider it
in thine heart, that the Lord,

07:12.440 --> 07:17.580
he is God in heaven above, and upon the
earth beneath there is none else.

07:18.360 --> 07:23.740
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes,
and his commandments, which I command thee

07:23.740 --> 07:28.460
this day, that it may go well with thee,
and with thy children after thee,

07:28.860 --> 07:34.860
and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon
the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth

07:34.860 --> 07:36.320
thee for ever.

07:37.020 --> 07:40.780
Then Moses severed three cities on this
side Jordan toward the sun rising,

07:41.120 --> 07:44.500
that the slayer might flee thither,
which should kill his neighbor unawares,

07:44.680 --> 07:48.600
and hated him not in times past,
and that fleeing unto one of these cities

07:48.600 --> 07:52.900
he might live, namely Bezer in the
wilderness in the plain country of the

07:52.900 --> 07:57.920
Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead of the
Gadites, and Golan in Bashan of the

07:57.920 --> 07:58.580
Manassites.

07:59.240 --> 08:02.340
And this is the law which Moses set before
the children of Israel.

08:02.780 --> 08:06.460
These are the testimonies, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which Moses

08:06.460 --> 08:09.980
spake unto the children of Israel after
they came forth out of Egypt.

08:10.400 --> 08:14.820
On this side Jordan, in the valley over
against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon,

08:14.980 --> 08:18.980
king of the Amorites, who dwelt at
Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of

08:18.980 --> 08:21.520
Israel smote after they were come forth
out of Egypt.

08:21.860 --> 08:26.400
And they possessed his land, and the land
of Og, king of Bashan, two kings of the

08:26.400 --> 08:30.420
Amorites, which were on this side of
Jordan toward the sun rising, from Aror,

08:30.700 --> 08:34.480
which is by the bank of the river Arnon,
even unto Mount Sion, which is Hermon,

08:34.780 --> 08:38.940
and all the plain on this side of Jordan
eastward, even unto the sea of the plain,

08:39.200 --> 08:40.640
under the springs of Pisgah.
