<>vv. 5-6, <>I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, <>taught, <>to possess it

9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

<>teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons, <>sons … sons … sons

10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

<>ten commandments, <>he wrote them, <>tables of stone, <>stone

14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

<>the waters, <>beneath

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

<>and ye shall have remained long in the land, <>shall do evil in the sight of the LORD, <>to provoke him to anger

26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

<>ask now of the days that are past, <>the day that God created man, <>God created man upon the earth, <>God created, <>from the one side of heaven unto the other

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

<>vv. 34-35, <>hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, <>hath God assayed to go and take him a nation … by war, <>assayed

<>vv. 34-35, <>the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

<>Out of heaven he made thee to hear, <>he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee, <>instruct, <>heardest his words

<>this day, <>consider it in thine heart, <>in thine heart, <>the LORD he is God

40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

<>keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, <>keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments … that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, <>thy days upon the earth … for ever

41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

<>vv. 41-42, <>Moses, <>severed … cities, <>cities, <>the sunrising

42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

<>vv. 41-42, <>hated him not, <>fleeing unto one of these cities he might live

43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
