Now therefore hearkenH8085, O IsraelH3478, unto the statutesH2706 and unto the judgmentsH4941, which I teachH3925 you, for to doH6213 them, that ye may liveH2421, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 givethH5414 you.
Ye shall not addH3254 unto the wordH1697 which I commandH6680 you, neither shall ye diminishH1639 ought from it, that ye may keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 which I commandH6680 you.
Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 what the LORDH3068 didH6213 because of BaalpeorH1187: for all the menH376 that followedH310+H1980 BaalpeorH1187, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath destroyedH8045 them from amongH7130 you.
But ye that did cleaveH1695 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 every one of you this dayH3117.
BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 whither ye goH935 to possessH3423 it.
KeepH8104 therefore and doH6213 them; for this is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH998 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH5971, which shall hearH8085 all these statutesH2706, and sayH559, Surely this greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.
For what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, who hath GodH430 so nighH7138 unto them, as the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is in all things that we callH7121 upon him for?
And what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 so righteousH6662 as all this lawH8451, which I setH5414 beforeH6440 you this dayH3117?
Only take heedH8104 to thyself, and keepH8104 thy soulH5315 diligentlyH3966, lest thou forgetH7911 the thingsH1697 which thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200, and lest they departH5493 from thy heartH3824 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: but teachH3045 them thy sonsH1121, and thy sons'H1121 sonsH1121;
Specially the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, GatherH6950 me the peopleH5971 togetherH6950, and I will make them hearH8085 my wordsH1697, that they may learnH3925 to fearH3372 me all the daysH3117 that they shall liveH2416 upon the earthH127, and that they may teachH3925 their childrenH1121.
And ye came nearH7126 and stoodH5975 under the mountainH2022; and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784 unto the midstH3820 of heavenH8064, with darknessH6205, cloudsH6051, and thick darknessH2822. {midst: Heb. heart}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto you out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784: ye heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697, but sawH7200 no similitudeH8544; onlyH2108 ye heard a voiceH6963. {only…: Heb. save a voice}
And he declaredH5046 unto you his covenantH1285, which he commandedH6680 you to performH6213, even tenH6235 commandmentsH1697; and he wroteH3789 them upon twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68.
And the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me at that timeH6256 to teachH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, that ye might doH6213 them in the landH776 whither ye go overH5674 to possessH3423 it.
Take ye therefore goodH3966 heedH8104 unto yourselvesH5315; for ye sawH7200 no manner of similitudeH8544 on the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto you in HorebH2722 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784:
Lest ye corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459, the similitudeH8544 of any figureH5566, the likenessH8403 of maleH2145 or femaleH5347,
The likenessH8403 of any beastH929 that is on the earthH776, the likenessH8403 of any wingedH3671 fowlH6833 that fliethH5774 in the airH8064,
The likenessH8403 of any thing that creepethH7430 on the groundH127, the likenessH8403 of any fishH1710 that is in the watersH4325 beneathH8478 the earthH776:
And lest thou lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto heavenH8064, and when thou seestH7200 the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, even all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, shouldest be drivenH5080 to worshipH7812 them, and serveH5647 them, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath dividedH2505 unto all nationsH5971 under the whole heavenH8064. {divided: or, imparted}
But the LORDH3068 hath takenH3947 you, and brought you forthH3318 out of the ironH1270 furnaceH3564, even out of EgyptH4714, to be unto him a peopleH5971 of inheritanceH5159, as ye are this dayH3117.
Furthermore the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with me for your sakesH1697, and swareH7650 that I should not go overH5674 JordanH3383, and that I should not goH935 in unto that goodH2896 landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159:
But I must dieH4191 in this landH776, I must not go overH5674 JordanH3383: but ye shall go overH5674, and possessH3423 that goodH2896 landH776.
Take heedH8104 unto yourselves, lest ye forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he madeH3772 with you, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 thing, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath forbiddenH6680 thee.
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is a consumingH398 fireH784, even a jealousH7067 GodH410.
When thou shalt begetH3205 childrenH1121, and children'sH1121 childrenH1121, and ye shall have remained longH3462 in the landH776, and shall corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of any thing, and shall doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to provoke him to angerH3707:
I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soonH4118 utterlyH6 perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterlyH8045 be destroyedH8045.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 you among the nationsH5971, and ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the heathenH1471, whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 you.
And there ye shall serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68, which neither seeH7200, nor hearH8085, nor eatH398, nor smellH7306.
But if from thence thou shalt seekH1245 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou shalt findH4672 him, if thou seekH1875 him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315.
When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963; {are…: Heb. have found thee}
(For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is a mercifulH7349 GodH410;) he will not forsakeH7503 thee, neither destroyH7843 thee, nor forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of thy fathersH1 which he swareH7650 unto them.
For askH7592 now of the daysH3117 that are pastH7223, which wereH1961 beforeH6440 thee, since the dayH3117 that GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 upon the earthH776, and ask from the one sideH7097 of heavenH8064 unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this greatH1419 thingH1697 is, or hath been heardH8085 like it?
Did ever peopleH5971 hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of GodH430 speaking outH1696 of the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as thou hast heardH8085, and liveH2421?
Or hath GodH430 assayedH5254 to goH935 and takeH3947 him a nationH1471 from the midstH7130 of another nationH1471, by temptationsH4531, by signsH226, and by wondersH4159, and by warH4421, and by a mightyH2389 handH3027, and by a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and by greatH1419 terrorsH4172, according to all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869?
Unto thee it was shewedH7200, that thou mightest knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 he is GodH430; there is none elseH5750 beside himH905.
Out of heavenH8064 he made thee to hearH8085 his voiceH6963, that he might instructH3256 thee: and upon earthH776 he shewedH7200 thee his greatH1419 fireH784; and thou heardestH8085 his wordsH1697 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784.
And because he lovedH157 thy fathersH1, therefore he choseH977 their seedH2233 afterH310 them, and brought thee outH3318 in his sightH6440 with his mightyH1419 powerH3581 out of EgyptH4714;
To drive outH3423 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thee greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 than thou art, to bringH935 thee in, to giveH5414 thee their landH776 for an inheritanceH5159, as it is this dayH3117.
KnowH3045 therefore this dayH3117, and considerH7725 it in thine heartH3824, that the LORDH3068 he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and upon the earthH776 beneath: there is none else.
Thou shalt keepH8104 therefore his statutesH2706, and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, and that thou mayest prolongH748 thy daysH3117 upon the earthH127, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, for ever.
Then MosesH4872 severedH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH8121+H4217;
That the slayerH7523 might fleeH5127 thither, which should killH7523 his neighbourH7453 unawaresH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not in timesH8543 pastH8032; and that fleeingH5127 unto oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892 he might liveH2425:
Namely, BezerH1221 in the wildernessH4057, in the plainH4334 countryH776, of the ReubenitesH7206; and RamothH7216 in GileadH1568, of the GaditesH1425; and GolanH1474 in BashanH1316, of the ManassitesH4520.
And this is the lawH8451 which MosesH4872 setH7760 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
These are the testimoniesH5713, and the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, after they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714,
On this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the valleyH1516 over againstH4136 BethpeorH1047, in the landH776 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809, whom MosesH4872 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221, after they were come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714:
And they possessedH3423 his landH776, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which were on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121;
From AroerH6177, which is by the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 ArnonH769, even unto mountH2022 SionH7865, which is HermonH2768,
And all the plainH6160 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217, even unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, under the springsH794 of PisgahH6449.
Querverweise zu 5. Mose 4,42 5Mo 4,42
When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath cut offH3772 the nationsH1471, whose landH776 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and thou succeedestH3423 them, and dwellestH3427 in their citiesH5892, and in their housesH1004; {succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}
Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee a wayH1870, and divide the coastsH1366 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into three partsH8027, that every slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither.
And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, which shall fleeH5127 thither, that he may liveH2425: Whoso killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 ignorantlyH1097+H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032; {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
As when a man goethH935 into the woodH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and lightethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he dieH4191; he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892, and liveH2425: {head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth…: Heb. findeth}
Lest the avengerH1350 of the bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the slayerH310+H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; whereas he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032. {slay…: Heb. smite him in life} {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
And if the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy coastH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1;
If thou shalt keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 to doH6213 them, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 everH3117 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, beside these threeH7969:
That innocentH5355 bloodH1818 be not shedH8210 inH7130 thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and so bloodH1818 be upon thee.
And among the citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 there shall be sixH8337 citiesH5892 for refugeH4733, which ye shall appointH5414 for the manslayerH7523, that he may fleeH5127 thither: and to them ye shall addH5414 fortyH705 and twoH8147 citiesH5892. {to them…: Heb. above them ye shall give}
Then ye shall appointH7136 you citiesH5892 to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you; that the slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither, which killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684. {at…: Heb. by error}
And they shall be unto you citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayerH7523 dieH4191 not, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 in judgmentH4941.
These sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733, both for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616, and for the sojournerH8453 amongH8432 them: that every one that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 may fleeH5127 thither.
And if he smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And if he smiteH5221 him with throwingH3027 a stoneH68, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {with…: Heb. with a stone of the hand}
Or if he smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying of waitH6660, that he dieH4191;
Or in enmityH342 smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him suddenlyH6621 withoutH3808 enmityH342, or have castH7993 upon him any thingH3627 without laying of waitH6660,
Or with any stoneH68, wherewith a man may dieH4191, seeingH7200 him notH3808, and castH5307 it upon him, that he dieH4191, and was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451:
Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941:
And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it unto the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, which was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081.
But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 without the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127;
And the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him withoutH2351 the bordersH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 killH7523 the slayerH7523; he shall not be guilty of bloodH1818: {he…: Heb. no blood shall be to him}
Because he should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548: but afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the slayerH7523 shall returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272.
