made thee to see his great works. And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their children after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt; to bring thee in, to give thee this land for an inheritance, as at this day.

Know therefore this day, and lay it to thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else. And thou shalt keep his statutes and his commandments, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days for ever.

DEUTERONOMY VI, XI

Now this is the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded to teach you, that ye may live. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandment of the Lord thy God. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words, which I command thee this day, thou shalt lay up in thine heart and in thy soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thine house, and upon thy gates. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, talking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by

the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up; that thy days, and the days of thy children, may be even as the days of heaven upon earth.

DEUTERONOMY VIII, X, XV

Beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, which I command thee this day. Take heed to yourselves lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up above thy brethren, and thou forget the commandment of the Lord thy God.

If therefore there be within thy gates any man waxen poor, or fallen in decay, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother; but thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely help him: yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner among you. Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thine heart, and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.

And now what doth the Lord require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord

thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul? For the Lord thy God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a God great, glorious, and mighty, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: he doth execute justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Thou therefore, shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his commandments, alway.

DEUTERONOMY XVIII

Jeremiah, Ezekiel

The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren; and will put his words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto thee all that the Lord shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto the words which he shall speak, it shall be required of him.

And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the prophet, that the Lord hath sent him? hereby shall ye know: The prophet that prophesieth of peace, of truth, and of righteousness, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him. And when this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall ye

know that a prophet hath been among you:

DEUTERONOMY VIII, XXVI

When the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which he promised unto thy fathers, thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the

good land which he giveth thee. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig copper. Beware lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God.

When therefore thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and dwellest therein, thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the land, and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord, that I am come unto the land which the Lord promised unto our fathers to give us. And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God. Then shalt thou answer and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous. And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: and we cried unto the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and

our oppression; and the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm; and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people, and the land which thou hast given

us.

So shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee, and worship before the Lord thy God.

DEUTERONOMY XXVIII, XXIX, XXX

Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, your little ones, your wives, and the stranger that is within thy gates; that thou mayest enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God, that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself.

Beware lest there be any man or woman among you whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God; and he say within himself, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my wicked heart. For if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep this covenant and to observe to do all his commandments, ye shall find no ease, neither rest; but ye shall have a trembling heart, and pining of soul; and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear night and day, and shalt have
