Moses Commands Obedience
4 “And now, O Israel, listen to (A)the statutes and the rules[a] that I am teaching you, and do them, (B)that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2 (C)You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did (D)at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. 5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 (E)Keep them and do them, for (F)that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For (G)what great nation is there that has (H)a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so (I)righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
9 (J)“Only take care, and (K)keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. (L)Make them known to your children and your children's children— 10 how on (M)the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, (N)‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, (O)so that they may learn to fear (P)me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’ 11 And (Q)you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while (R)the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, wrapped in darkness, cloud, and gloom. 12 Then (S)the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, (T)but saw no form; (U)there was only a voice. 13 (V)And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, that is, (W)the Ten Commandments,[b] (X)and he wrote them on two tablets of stone. 14 And (Y)the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and rules, that you might do them in the land that you are going over to possess.
Idolatry Forbidden
15 (Z)“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since (AA)you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 beware (AB)lest you act corruptly (AC)by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, (AD)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 air, 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 beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see (AE)the sun and the moon and the stars, (AF)all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord has taken you and (AG)brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, (AH)to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day. 21 Furthermore, (AI)the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance. 22 For I must die in this land; (AJ)I must not go over the Jordan. But you shall go over and take possession of (AK)that good land. 23 (AL)Take care, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and (AM)make a carved image, the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For (AN)the Lord your God is a consuming fire, (AO)a jealous God.
25 “When you father children and children's children, and have grown old in the land, (AP)and you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and (AQ)by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, 26 I (AR)call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (AS)will scatter you among the peoples, (AT)and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And (AU)there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, (AV)that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 (AW)But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you (AX)in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. 31 For the Lord your God is (AY)a merciful God. (AZ)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
The Lord Alone Is God
32 “For (BA)ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 (BB)Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, (BC)by signs, by wonders, and (BD)by war, (BE)by a mighty hand and (BF)an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, (BG)that you might know that the Lord is God; (BH)there is no other besides him. 36 (BI)Out of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and (BJ)you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because (BK)he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them[c] and brought you out of Egypt (BL)with his own presence, by his great power, 38 (BM)driving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, 39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that (BN)the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; (BO)there is no other. 40 (BP)Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, (BQ)that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
Cities of Refuge
41 Then Moses (BR)set apart three cities in the east beyond the Jordan, 42 that (BS)the manslayer might flee there, anyone who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without being at enmity with him in time past; he may flee to one of these cities and save his life: 43 (BT)Bezer in the wilderness on the (BU)tableland for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
Introduction to the Law
44 This is the law that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt, 46 beyond the Jordan (BV)in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, (BW)whom Moses and the people of Israel defeated when they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land (BX)of Og, the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who lived to the east beyond the Jordan; 48 (BY)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount (BZ)Sirion[d] (that is, (CA)Hermon), 49 together with all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan as far as (CB)the Sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

Moisés exorta o povo à obediência
4 Agora, pois, ó Israel, ouve os estatutos e os juízos que eu vos ensino, para os cumprirdes, para que vivais, e entreis, e possuais a terra que o Senhor, Deus de vossos pais, vos dá. 2 Nada acrescentareis à palavra que vos mando, nem diminuireis dela, para que guardeis os mandamentos do Senhor, vosso Deus, que eu vos mando. 3 Os vossos olhos têm visto o que o Senhor fez por causa de Baal-Peor; pois a todo homem que seguiu a Baal-Peor o Senhor, teu Deus, consumiu do meio de ti. 4 Porém vós que vos chegastes ao Senhor, vosso Deus, hoje todos estais vivos. 5 Vedes aqui vos tenho ensinado estatutos e juízos, como me mandou o Senhor, meu Deus, para que assim façais no meio da terra a qual ides a herdar. 6 Guardai-os, pois, e fazei-os, porque esta será a vossa sabedoria e o vosso entendimento perante os olhos dos povos que ouvirão todos estes estatutos e dirão: Só este grande povo é gente sábia e inteligente. 7 Porque, que gente há tão grande, que tenha deuses tão chegados como o Senhor, nosso Deus, todas as vezes que o chamamos? 8 E que gente há tão grande, que tenha estatutos e juízos tão justos como toda esta lei que hoje dou perante vós?
9 Tão somente guarda-te a ti mesmo e guarda bem a tua alma, que te não esqueças daquelas coisas que os teus olhos têm visto, e se não apartem do teu coração todos os dias da tua vida, e as farás saber a teus filhos e aos filhos de teus filhos. 10 No dia em que estiveste perante o Senhor, teu Deus, em Horebe, o Senhor me disse: Ajunta-me este povo, e os farei ouvir as minhas palavras, e aprendê-las-ão, para me temerem todos os dias que na terra viverem, e as ensinarão a seus filhos. 11 E vós vos chegastes, e vos pusestes ao pé do monte; e o monte ardia em fogo até ao meio dos céus, e havia trevas, e nuvens, e escuridão. 12 Então, o Senhor vos falou do meio do fogo; a voz das palavras ouvistes; porém, além da voz, não vistes semelhança nenhuma. 13 Então, vos anunciou ele o seu concerto, que vos prescreveu, os dez mandamentos, e os escreveu em duas tábuas de pedra. 14 Também o Senhor me ordenou, ao mesmo tempo, que vos ensinasse estatutos e juízos, para que os fizésseis na terra a qual passais a possuir. 15 Guardai, pois, com diligência a vossa alma, pois semelhança nenhuma vistes no dia em que o Senhor, vosso Deus, em Horebe, falou convosco, do meio do fogo; 16 para que não vos corrompais e vos façais alguma escultura, semelhança de imagem, figura de macho ou de fêmea; 17 figura de algum animal que haja na terra, figura de alguma ave alígera que voa pelos céus; 18 figura de algum animal que anda de rastos sobre a terra, figura de algum peixe que esteja nas águas debaixo da terra; 19 e não levantes os teus olhos aos céus e vejas o sol, e a lua, e as estrelas, todo o exército dos céus, e sejas impelido a que te inclines perante eles, e sirvas àqueles que o Senhor, teu Deus, repartiu a todos os povos debaixo de todos os céus. 20 Mas o Senhor vos tomou e vos tirou do forno de ferro do Egito, para que lhe sejais por povo hereditário, como neste dia se vê.
21 Também o Senhor se indignou contra mim, por causa das vossas palavras, e jurou que eu não passaria o Jordão e que não entraria na boa terra que o Senhor, teu Deus, te dará por herança. 22 Porque eu nesta terra morrerei, não passarei o Jordão; porém vós o passareis e possuireis aquela boa terra. 23 Guardai-vos de que vos esqueçais do concerto do Senhor, vosso Deus, que tem feito convosco, e vos façais alguma escultura, imagem de alguma coisa que o Senhor, vosso Deus, vos proibiu. 24 Porque o Senhor, teu Deus, é um fogo que consome, um Deus zeloso.
25 Quando, pois, gerardes filhos e filhos de filhos, e vos envelhecerdes na terra, e vos corromperdes, e fizerdes alguma escultura, semelhança de alguma coisa, e fizerdes mal aos olhos do Senhor, para o provocar à ira, 26 hoje, tomo por testemunhas contra vós o céu e a terra, que certamente perecereis depressa da terra, a qual, passado o Jordão, ides possuir; não prolongareis os vossos dias nela; antes, sereis de todo destruídos. 27 E o Senhor vos espalhará entre os povos, e ficareis poucos em número entre as gentes às quais o Senhor vos conduzirá. 28 E ali servireis a deuses que são obra de mãos de homens, madeira e pedra, que não veem, nem ouvem, nem comem, nem cheiram. 29 Então, dali, buscarás ao Senhor, teu Deus, e o acharás, quando o buscares de todo o teu coração e de toda a tua alma. 30 Quando estiveres em angústia, e todas estas coisas te alcançarem, então, no fim de dias, te virarás para o Senhor, teu Deus, e ouvirás a sua voz. 31 Porquanto o Senhor, teu Deus, é Deus misericordioso; e não te desamparará, nem te destruirá, nem se esquecerá do concerto que jurou a teus pais.
32 Porque, pergunta agora aos tempos passados, que te precederam, desde o dia em que Deus criou o homem sobre a terra, desde uma extremidade do céu até à outra, se sucedeu jamais coisa tão grande como esta ou se se ouviu coisa como esta; 33 ou se algum povo ouviu a voz de algum deus falando do meio do fogo, como tu a ouviste, ficando vivo; 34 ou se um deus intentou ir tomar para si um povo do meio de outro povo, com provas, com sinais, e com milagres, e com peleja, e com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com grandes espantos, conforme tudo quanto o Senhor, vosso Deus, vos fez no Egito, aos vossos olhos. 35 A ti te foi mostrado para que soubesses que o Senhor é Deus; nenhum outro há, senão ele. 36 Desde os céus te fez ouvir a sua voz, para te ensinar, e sobre a terra te mostrou o seu grande fogo, e ouviste as suas palavras do meio do fogo. 37 Porquanto amava teus pais, e escolhera a sua semente depois deles, e te tirou do Egito diante de si, com a sua grande força, 38 para lançar fora de diante de ti gentes maiores e mais poderosas do que tu, para te introduzir na terra e ta dar por herança, como neste dia se vê. 39 Pelo que hoje saberás e refletirás no teu coração que só o Senhor é Deus em cima no céu e embaixo na terra; nenhum outro há. 40 E guardarás os seus estatutos e os seus mandamentos, que te ordeno hoje, para que bem te vá a ti e a teus filhos depois de ti e para que prolongues os dias na terra que o Senhor, teu Deus, te dá para todo o sempre.
Moisés designa três das cidades de refúgio
41 Então, Moisés separou três cidades daquém do Jordão, da banda do nascimento do sol; 42 para que ali se acolhesse o homicida que, por erro, matasse o seu próximo, a quem dantes não tivesse ódio algum; e se acolhesse a uma destas cidades e vivesse: 43 a Bezer, no deserto, na terra plana, para os rubenitas; e a Ramote, em Gileade, para os gaditas; e a Golã, em Basã, para os manassitas.
44 Esta é, pois, a lei que Moisés propôs aos filhos de Israel. 45 Estes são os testemunhos, e os estatutos, e os juízos que Moisés falou aos filhos de Israel, havendo saído do Egito, 46 daquém do Jordão, no vale defronte de Bete-Peor, na terra de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom, a quem Moisés e os filhos de Israel feriram, havendo eles saído do Egito. 47 E tomaram a sua terra em possessão, como também a terra de Ogue, rei de Basã, dois reis dos amorreus, que estavam daquém do Jordão, da banda do nascimento do sol; 48 desde Aroer, que está à borda do ribeiro de Arnom, até ao monte Siom, que é Hermom, 49 e toda a campina, daquém do Jordão, da banda do oriente, até ao mar da campina, abaixo de Asdote-Pisga.

Obedience Commanded
4 Now, Israel, hear the decrees(A) and laws I am about to teach(B) you. Follow them so that you may live(C) and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add(D) to what I command you and do not subtract(E) from it, but keep(F) the commands(G) of the Lord your God that I give you.
3 You saw with your own eyes what the Lord did at Baal Peor.(H) The Lord your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor, 4 but all of you who held fast to the Lord your God are still alive today.
5 See, I have taught(I) you decrees and laws(J) as the Lord my God commanded(K) me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering(L) to take possession of it. 6 Observe(M) them carefully, for this will show your wisdom(N) and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”(O) 7 What other nation is so great(P) as to have their gods near(Q) them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws(R) as this body of laws I am setting before you today?
9 Only be careful,(S) and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach(T) them to your children(U) and to their children after them. 10 Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb,(V) when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn(W) to revere(X) me as long as they live in the land(Y) and may teach(Z) them to their children.” 11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain(AA) while it blazed with fire(AB) to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.(AC) 12 Then the Lord spoke(AD) to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form;(AE) there was only a voice.(AF) 13 He declared to you his covenant,(AG) the Ten Commandments,(AH) which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. 14 And the Lord directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws(AI) you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Idolatry Forbidden
15 You saw no form(AJ) of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb(AK) out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,(AL) 16 so that you do not become corrupt(AM) and make for yourselves an idol,(AN) an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,(AO) 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun,(AP) the moon and the stars(AQ)—all the heavenly array(AR)—do not be enticed(AS) into bowing down to them and worshiping(AT) things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. 20 But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace,(AU) out of Egypt,(AV) to be the people of his inheritance,(AW) as you now are.
21 The Lord was angry with me(AX) because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance. 22 I will die in this land;(AY) I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.(AZ) 23 Be careful not to forget the covenant(BA) of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol(BB) in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire,(BC) a jealous God.(BD)
25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt(BE) and make any kind of idol,(BF) doing evil(BG) in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses(BH) against you(BI) this day that you will quickly perish(BJ) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter(BK) you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive(BL) among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods(BM) of wood and stone,(BN) which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.(BO) 29 But if from there you seek(BP) the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart(BQ) and with all your soul.(BR) 30 When you are in distress(BS) and all these things have happened to you, then in later days(BT) you will return(BU) to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful(BV) God; he will not abandon(BW) or destroy(BX) you or forget(BY) the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
The Lord Is God
32 Ask(BZ) now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth;(CA) ask from one end of the heavens to the other.(CB) Has anything so great(CC) as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?(CD) 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation,(CE) by testings,(CF) by signs(CG) and wonders,(CH) by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,(CI) or by great and awesome deeds,(CJ) like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.(CK) 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice(CL) to discipline(CM) you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved(CN) your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,(CO) 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,(CP) as it is today.
39 Acknowledge(CQ) and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.(CR) 40 Keep(CS) his decrees and commands,(CT) which I am giving you today, so that it may go well(CU) with you and your children after you and that you may live long(CV) in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
Cities of Refuge(CW)
41 Then Moses set aside three cities east of the Jordan, 42 to which anyone who had killed a person could flee if they had unintentionally(CX) killed a neighbor without malice aforethought. They could flee into one of these cities and save their life. 43 The cities were these: Bezer in the wilderness plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth(CY) in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Introduction to the Law
44 This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. 45 These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt 46 and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon(CZ) king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 47 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan. 48 This land extended from Aroer(DA) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sirion[b](DB) (that is, Hermon(DC)), 49 and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea,[c] below the slopes of Pisgah.

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
勸人民遵行 神的律例
4 “以色列人哪，現在你們要聽我向來教訓你們遵行的律例和典章，使你們可以活著，可以進去得著耶和華你們列祖的 神賜給你們的地作產業。 2 我吩咐你們的話，你們不可增加，也不可減少，好使你們遵守我吩咐你們的，就是耶和華你們的 神的命令。 3 耶和華因巴力．毘珥的事所行的，你們都親眼看見了；所有跟隨巴力．毘珥的人，耶和華你們的 神都從你們中間消滅了。 4 只有你們緊緊倚靠耶和華你們的 神的人，今日全都活著。 5 看哪，我照著耶和華我的 神吩咐我的，把律例和典章教訓你們，好讓你們在將要進去得為業的地上遵行。 6 所以你們要謹守遵行，因為在萬民的眼中看來，這就是你們的智慧和聰明；他們一聽見這一切律例，就必定說：‘這大國的人真是有智慧，有聰明啊。’ 7 哪一個大國的人有神與他們這樣親近，像耶和華我們的 神，在我們每次呼求他的時候，與我們親近一樣呢？ 8 又哪一個大國有這樣公義的律例和典章，像我今日在你面前頒布的這一切律法呢？
9 “你只要自己謹慎，又要謹守你的心思，免得你忘了你親眼看見的事，又免得這些事在你有生之日離開你的心；總要把這些事傳給你的子子孫孫， 10 免得你忘了你在何烈山，站在耶和華你們的 神面前的那天。那時耶和華對我說：‘你要為我召集眾民，我要叫他們聽我的話，使他們在那地上生活的日子，可以學習敬畏我，又可以教訓自己的兒女。’ 11 那時，你們走前來，站在山下；山上有火燒著，火燄沖天，又有黑暗、密雲和幽暗。 12 耶和華從火中對你們說話；你們只聽見聲音，卻沒有看見形象；只有聲音， 13 把他的約，就是他吩咐你們遵守的那十條誡命（“十條誡命”直譯是“十句話”），向你們宣布出來；又把它們寫在兩塊石版上。 14 那時，耶和華也吩咐我把律例和典章教訓你們，使你們在將要過去得為業的地上遵行。
警告人民勿拜偶像
15 “所以你們要特別小心，謹慎自己，因為耶和華在何烈山從火中對你們說話的那一天，你們沒有看見甚麼形象； 16 恐怕你們敗壞自己，為自己製造偶像，製造任何神像的形象，無論是男像或是女像， 17 或是地上各種走獸的像，或是飛翔在空中各類有翅膀的雀鳥的像， 18 或是地上各種爬行的動物的像，或是地底下水裡各樣魚類的像。 19 又恐怕你抬頭望天，看見日、月、星，就是天上萬象的時候，就被勾引，去敬拜和事奉它們，那原是耶和華你們的 神分給天下萬民享用的。 20 耶和華卻把你們從埃及，從鐵爐那裡領出來，作他自己的產業，自己的人民，像今日一樣。 21 耶和華又因你們的緣故，向我發怒，並且起誓不讓我過約旦河，也不容我進入耶和華你的 神賜給你作產業的那美地。 22 我只有死在此地，不得過約旦河；你們卻可以過去，取得那美地作產業。 23 你們要自己謹慎，免得你們忘記了耶和華你們的 神與你們所立的約，你們就為自己製造偶像，製造任何神像的形象，就是耶和華你的 神吩咐你不可作的。 24 因為耶和華你的 神是烈火，是忌邪的 神。
25 “你們生子生孫，在那地住久了的時候，如果你們敗壞自己，製造偶像，製造任何神像的形象，行耶和華你的 神看為惡的事，惹他發怒， 26 我今日就呼天喚地向你們作證，你們必在過約旦河取得為業的地上迅速滅亡；你們必不能在那地長久生存，必全被消滅。 27 耶和華必使你們分散在萬民中；在耶和華要領你們所到的萬國中，你們剩下的人數必不多。 28 在那裡你們必事奉人手所做的神，就是用木頭石頭做成的，不能看、不能聽、不能吃、不能聞的神。 29 但你們在那裡必尋求耶和華你的 神；如果你一心一意尋找他，就必尋見。 30 日後，你落在患難中，這些事都臨到你身上的時候，你必歸向耶和華你的 神，聽從他的話； 31 因為耶和華你的 神原是滿有憐憫的 神，他必不丟棄你，不毀滅你，也不忘記他起誓與你的列祖所立的約。
唯耶和華是 神
32 “你問問在你以前過去的日子，自從 神創造人在地上以來，從天這邊到天那邊，有沒有人行過這樣的大事，聽過像這樣的事呢？ 33 有沒有一個民族聽見 神在火中說話的聲音，像你聽見的一樣，還能活著呢？ 34 有沒有一位神嘗試藉著試驗、神蹟、奇事、戰爭、大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，以及大而可畏的事，把一國的人民從別的國中領出來，像耶和華你們的 神在埃及，在你們面前為你們所作的一切事呢？ 35 這是要顯明給你看，使你知道，只有耶和華是 神；除了他以外，再沒有別的神。 36 他從天上使你聽見他的聲音，為要教導你；又在地上使你看見他的大火，並且叫你聽到他從火中所說的話。 37 因為他愛你的列祖，所以才揀選了他們的（按照《馬索拉文本》，“他們的”作“他的”；現參照其他抄本及古譯本翻譯）後裔，用大能親自把你從埃及領出來， 38 為要把比你大比你強的民族，從你面前趕走，然後領你進去，把他們的地賜給你作產業，像今日一樣。 39 所以今天你要知道，也要記在心裡；天上地下，只有耶和華是 神；除他以外，再沒有別的神了。 40 你要遵守我今日吩咐你的律例和誡命，使你和你的子孫得享福樂，也使你在耶和華你的 神賜給你的那地上得享長壽。”
約旦河東之避難城
41 那時，摩西在約旦河東，日出的方向，把三座城分別出來， 42 讓那些素無仇恨、無心誤殺人的，可以逃到那裡去；逃到這三座城的一座去的，都可以活著： 43 為流本人，分出了在曠野平原的比悉；為迦得人，分出了基列的拉末；為瑪拿西人，分出了巴珊的哥蘭。
神的法典
44 以下是摩西在以色列人面前所立的律法， 45 就是摩西在以色列人出埃及以後，對他們所說的法度、律例和典章； 46 地點是在約旦河東，伯．毘珥對面的谷中，就是住在希實本的亞摩利人的王西宏的地。這西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及後擊殺的。 47 他們佔領了他的地和巴珊王噩的地，就是兩個亞摩利人的王，是住在約旦河東，日出的方向的； 48 從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥，直到西雲山，西雲山就是黑門山； 49 還有約旦河東的亞拉巴全地，直到亞拉巴海，就是毘斯迦的山坡下。
