(א) וְעַתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁמַע אֶל הַחֻקִּים וְאֶל הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְלַמֵּד אֶתְכֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת לְמַעַן תִּחְיוּ וּבָאתֶם וִירִשְׁתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר י״י אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵיכֶם נֹתֵן לָכֶם. (ב) לֹא תֹסִפוּ עַל הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם וְלֹא תִגְרְעוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לִשְׁמֹר אֶת מִצְוֺת י״י אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם. (ג) עֵינֵיכֶם הָרֹאוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה י״י בְּבַעַל פְּעוֹר כִּי כׇל הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ אַחֲרֵי בַעַל פְּעוֹר הִשְׁמִידוֹ י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִקִּרְבֶּךָ. (ד) וְאַתֶּם הַדְּבֵקִים בַּי״י אֱלֹהֵיכֶם חַיִּים כֻּלְּכֶם הַיּוֹם. (ה) רְאֵה לִמַּדְתִּי אֶתְכֶם חֻקִּים וּמִשְׁפָּטִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוַּנִי י״י אֱלֹהָי לַעֲשׂוֹת כֵּן בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם בָּאִים שָׁמָּה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ. (ו) וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם וַעֲשִׂיתֶם כִּי הִוא חׇכְמַתְכֶם וּבִינַתְכֶם לְעֵינֵי הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁמְעוּן אֵת כׇּל הַחֻקִּים הָאֵלֶּה וְאָמְרוּ רַק עַם חָכָם וְנָבוֹן הַגּוֹי הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה. (ז) כִּי מִי גוֹי גָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר לוֹ אֱלֹהִים קְרֹבִים אֵלָיו כַּי״י אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכׇל קׇרְאֵנוּ אֵלָיו. (ח) וּמִי גּוֹי גָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר לוֹ חֻקִּים וּמִשְׁפָּטִים צַדִּיקִם כְּכֹל הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי נֹתֵן לִפְנֵיכֶם הַיּוֹם. (ט) רַק הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ וּשְׁמֹר נַפְשְׁךָ מְאֹד פֶּן תִּשְׁכַּח אֶת הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וּפֶן יָסוּרוּ מִלְּבָבְךָ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ וְהוֹדַעְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ וְלִבְנֵי בָנֶיךָ. (י) יוֹם אֲשֶׁר עָמַדְתָּ לִפְנֵי י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּחֹרֵב בֶּאֱמֹר י״י אֵלַי הַקְהֶל לִי אֶת הָעָם וְאַשְׁמִעֵם אֶת דְּבָרָי אֲשֶׁר יִלְמְדוּן לְיִרְאָה אֹתִי כׇּל הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר הֵם חַיִּים עַל הָאֲדָמָה וְאֶת בְּנֵיהֶם יְלַמֵּדוּן. (יא) וַתִּקְרְבוּן וַתַּעַמְדוּן תַּחַת הָהָר וְהָהָר בֹּעֵר בָּאֵשׁ עַד לֵב הַשָּׁמַיִם חֹשֶׁךְ עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל.

(כב) כִּי אָנֹכִי מֵת בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֵינֶנִּי עֹבֵר אֶת הַיַּרְדֵּן וְאַתֶּם עֹבְרִים וִירִשְׁתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת. (כג) הִשָּׁמְרוּ לָכֶם פֶּן תִּשְׁכְּחוּ אֶת בְּרִית י״י אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת עִמָּכֶם וַעֲשִׂיתֶם לָכֶם פֶּסֶל תְּמוּנַת כֹּל אֲשֶׁר צִוְּךָ י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ. (כד) כִּי י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֵשׁ אֹכְלָה הוּא אֵל קַנָּא.

(כו) הַעִידֹתִי בָכֶם הַיּוֹם אֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת הָאָרֶץ כִּי אָבֹד תֹּאבֵדוּן מַהֵר מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת הַיַּרְדֵּן שָׁמָּה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ לֹא תַאֲרִיכֻן יָמִים עָלֶיהָ כִּי הִשָּׁמֵד תִּשָּׁמֵדוּן. (כז) וְהֵפִיץ י״י אֶתְכֶם בָּעַמִּים וְנִשְׁאַרְתֶּם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר בַּגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר יְנַהֵג י״י אֶתְכֶם שָׁמָּה. (כח) וַעֲבַדְתֶּם שָׁם אֱלֹהִים מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם עֵץ וָאֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִרְאוּן וְלֹא יִשְׁמְעוּן וְלֹא יֹאכְלוּן וְלֹא יְרִיחֻן. (כט) וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם מִשָּׁם אֶת י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּמָצָאתָ כִּי תִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ בְּכׇל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכׇל נַפְשֶׁךָ. (ל) בַּצַּר לְךָ וּמְצָאוּךָ כֹּל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים וְשַׁבְתָּ עַד י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְשָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקֹלוֹ. (לא) כִּי אֵל רַחוּם י״י אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹא יַרְפְּךָ וְלֹא יַשְׁחִיתֶךָ וְלֹא יִשְׁכַּח אֶת בְּרִית אֲבֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לָהֶם. (לב) כִּי שְׁאַל נָא לְיָמִים רִאשֹׁנִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ לְפָנֶיךָ לְמִן הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אָדָם עַל הָאָרֶץ וּלְמִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם וְעַד קְצֵה הַשָּׁמָיִם הֲנִהְיָה כַּדָּבָר הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה אוֹ הֲנִשְׁמַע כָּמֹהוּ. (לג) הֲשָׁמַע עָם קוֹל אֱלֹהִים מְדַבֵּר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתָּ אַתָּה וַיֶּחִי. (לד) אוֹ הֲנִסָּה אֱלֹהִים לָבוֹא לָקַחַת לוֹ גוֹי מִקֶּרֶב גּוֹי בְּמַסֹּת בְּאֹתֹת וּבְמוֹפְתִים וּבְמִלְחָמָה וּבְיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְמוֹרָאִים גְּדֹלִים כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לָכֶם י״י אֱלֹהֵיכֶם בְּמִצְרַיִם לְעֵינֶיךָ. (לה) אַתָּה הׇרְאֵתָ לָדַעַת כִּי י״י הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים אֵין עוֹד מִלְּבַדּוֹ.

(1) Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Hashem, the God of your fathers, gives you. (2) You shall not add to the word which I command you, and you shall not subtract from it, that you may keep the commandments of Hashem your God which I command you. (3) Your eyes have seen what Hashem did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Hashem your God has destroyed them from your midst. (4) But you who were faithful to Hashem your God are all alive this day. (5) Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Hashem my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it. (6) Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people." (7) For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Hashem our God is whenever we call on him? (8) What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? (9) Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. But make them known to your children and your children's children, (10) the day that you stood before Hashem your God in Horeb, when Hashem said to me, "Assemble the people to Me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children." (11) You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. (12) Hashem spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice. (13) He declared to you his covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the ten statements; and He wrote them on two tables of stone. (14) Hashem commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you pass to possess it. (15) Take therefore good care of yourselves, for you saw no kind of form on the day that Hashem spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire. (16) Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, (17) the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, (18) the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. (19) And lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them which Hashem your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky. (20) But Hashem has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people, an inheritance, as at this day. (21) Furthermore Hashem was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Hashem your God gives you for an inheritance. (22) For I will die in this land; I will not pass over the Jordan. But you shall pass over and possess that good land. (23) Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Hashem your God, which He made with you, and make for yourselves an engraved image in the form of anything which Hashem your God has forbidden you. (24) For Hashem your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. (25) When you shall father children and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Hashem your God, to provoke him to anger, (26) I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land to which you pass over the Jordan to possess. You shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. (27) Hashem will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Hashem shall lead you away. (28) There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which do not see, or hear, or eat, or smell. (29) But from there you shall seek Hashem your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. (30) When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Hashem your God, and listen to his voice. (31) For Hashem your God is a merciful God; He will not fail you or destroy you, or forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. (32) For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, has there ever been anything like this great thing or has anything ever been heard like it? (33) Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? (34) Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, like all that Hashem your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? (35) It was shown to you so that you might know that Hashem is God. There is no one else besides him. (36) Out of heaven He made you hear his voice, that He might instruct you. And on earth He made you see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. (37) Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt, (38) to drive out nations from before you, greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day. (39) Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Hashem He is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is none else. (40) You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which Hashem your God gives you, forever. (41) Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, (42) that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, and didn't hate him in time past. He shall flee to one of these cities and live: (43) Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites. (44) This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. (45) These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt, (46) beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came forth out of Egypt. (47) They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, (48) from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion, which is Hermon, (49) and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
