Deuteronomy 4:33-49 ▼

33 Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and lived?

34 Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation with trials, with signs and wonders and with war and with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terrors, as Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 To you it was shown that you might know that Yahweh, He is God; there is no other besides Him.

36 Out of the heavens He caused you to hear His voice to discipline you; and on earth He caused you to see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.

37 Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,

38 dispossessing before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.

39 Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that Yahweh, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.

40 So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days on the land which Yahweh your God is giving you for all the days.”

41 Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east toward the sunrise,

42 that a manslayer might flee there, who slew his neighbor without premeditation, not hating him previously; so he shall flee to one of these cities that he might live:

43 Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.

44 Now this is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel;

45 these are the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel when they came out from Egypt,

46 across the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel struck down when they came out from Egypt.

47 And they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan to the east toward the sunrise,

48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),

49 with all the Arabah across the Jordan to the east, even as far as the sea of the Arabah, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah.
