Deuteronomy 4:29-49

291But from thereH8033 you will seekH1245 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and you will findH4672 Him ifH3588 you searchH1875 for Him 2with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315. 30When you 3are in distressH6862 and allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 happenH4672 toH4672 you, 4in the latterH319 daysH3117 5you will returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 and listenH8085 to His voiceH6963. 31For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 6compassionateH7349 GodH410; 7He will not abandonH7503 you norH3808 8destroyH7843 you, norH3808 9forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to them.

32“IndeedH3588, 10askH7592 nowH4994 about the earlierH7223 daysH3117 that were 11beforeH6440 your time, sinceH4480 the 12dayH3117 that GodH430 createdH1254 13mankindH120 on the earthH776, and inquire 14from one endH7097 of the heavensH8064 to the otherH7097H8064. 15Has anything been doneH1961 like thisH2088 greatH1419 thingH1697, orH176 has anything been heardH8085 likeH3644 it? 3316Has any peopleH5971 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of GodH430 speakingH1696 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as you have heardH8085 it, and survivedH2421? 3417OrH176 has a godH430 venturedH5254 to goH935 to takeH3947 for himself a nationH1471 from withinH7130 another nationH1471 18by trialsH4531, by signsH226 and wondersH4159, by warH4421, 19by a mightyH2389 handH3027, by an outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and by greatH1419 terrorsH4172, 20justH3605 as the LordH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869? 35You were shownH7200 these things so that you might knowH3045 that the LordH3068, He is GodH430; 21thereH369 isH369 noH369 otherH5750 besidesH4480H905 Him. 3622Out of the heavensH8064 He let you hearH8085 His voiceH6963 23to disciplineH3256 you; and on earthH776 He let you seeH7200 His greatH1419 fireH784, and you heardH8085 His wordsH1697 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784. 3724BecauseH8478H3588 He lovedH157 your fathersH1, He choseH977 25their descendantsH2233 afterH310 them. And He 2627personallyH6440 broughtH3318 you from EgyptH4714 by His greatH1419 powerH3581, 38drivingH3423 outH3423 from beforeH6440 you nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you, to bringH935 you inH935 and 28to giveH5414 you their landH776 as an inheritanceH5159, as it is todayH2088H3117. 39Therefore knowH3045 todayH3117, and takeH7725 it to your heartH3824, that 29the LordH3068, He is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4480H4605 and on the earthH776 belowH4480H8478; thereH369 isH369 noH369 otherH5750. 4030So you shall keepH8104 His statutesH2706 and His commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I am 31givingH6680 you todayH3117, so that 32it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you and for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you, and 33that you may 34liveH748 longH748H3117 on the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you for allH3605 timeH3117.”

4135ThenH227 MosesH4872 setH914 apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383 to the 36eastH4217H8121, 42for 37one to fleeH5127 thereH8033 whoH834 unintentionallyH1847H1097 killedH7523 his neighborH7453, withoutH3808 havingH8130 hatredH8130 for him in timeH8032 pastH8543; and by fleeingH5127 to oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892 he might liveH2421: 4338BezerH1221 in the wildernessH4057 on the plateauH776H4334 for the ReubenitesH7206, RamothH7216 in GileadH1568 for the GaditesH1425, and GolanH1474 in BashanH1316 for the ManassitesH4520.

44Now thisH2088 is the LawH8451 whichH834 MosesH4872 setH7760 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; 45theseH428 are the testimoniesH5713 and the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941 whichH834 MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, 46acrossH5676 the JordanH3383, in the valleyH1516 39oppositeH4136 Beth-peorH1047, in the landH776 of 40SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567 whoH834 livedH3427 in HeshbonH2809, whomH834 MosesH4872 and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 41defeatedH5221 when they cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 47And they tookH3423 possessionH3423 of his landH776 and the landH776 of 42OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who were acrossH5676 the JordanH3383 to the 43eastH4217H8121, 48from 44AroerH6177, whichH834 is on the edgeH8193 of the 45ValleyH5158 of ArnonH769, even as farH5704 as 46MountH2022 SionH7865 (that is, HermonH2768), 49with allH3605 the ArabahH6160 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383 to the eastH4217, even as farH5704 as the seaH3220 of the ArabahH6160, 47atH8478 theH8478 footH8478 ofH8478 the slopesH794 of PisgahH6449.
