1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

<>the statutes and judgments, <>observe to do, <>the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee, <>which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth, <>giveth thee to possess, <>all the days that ye live upon the earth

2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

<>vv. 2-3, <>Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, <>served their gods, <>the hills, <>under every green tree, <>tree

3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

<>vv. 2-3, <>break their pillars, <>burn … with fire, <>groves, <>ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, <>hew, <>their gods … destroy the names of them

4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.

5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

<>vv. 5-6, <>the place which the LORD your God shall choose … to put his name there, <>to put his name there, <>habitation, <>ye … thou

6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

<>vv. 5-6, <>bring … your vows, <>burnt offerings, <>tithes, <>heave offerings, <>of your hand, <>freewill offerings, <>flocks

7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

<>put your hand unto

8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

<>Ye shall not do … every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.

<>the rest … which the LORD your God giveth you, <>the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you

10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

<>the land which the LORD your God giveth you, <>he giveth, <>dwell in safety

11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

<>rejoice before the LORD your God, <>sons … daughters, <>the Levite … hath no part nor inheritance with you, <>gates

13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:

14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

<>thou shalt do all that I command thee, <>I command thee

15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

<>the blessing of the LORD, <>may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart

16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

<>ye shall not eat the blood, <>the blood … as water

17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:

<>corn, <>thy wine, or … thy oil

18 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

<>thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto

19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.

20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

<>the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, <>border, <>as he hath promised

21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

<>chosen

22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.

23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

<>the blood is the life

24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

<>that it may go well with thee, <>children, <>thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD, <>do that which is right in the sight of the LORD, <>in the sight of the LORD

26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:

27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

<>the altar of the LORD thy God … the altar of the LORD thy God

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

<>Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, <>hear all these words which I command thee, <>all these words

29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

<>v. 30, <>be not snared by following them … inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise, <>inquire not after their gods

31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

<>their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

<>What thing soever I command you … thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
