enough to eat, where thou lackest nothing: a land whose stones are iron, where thou hewest brass out of the mountains.

And when thou hast eaten and art full, that thou mayest praise the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

Take heed therefore that thou forget not the LORD thy God, lest thou keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which I command thee this day; 12. That when thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein, 13. And thy oxen, and thy sheep, and thy silver, and thy gold, and all that thou hast, shall multiply,

Then let not thine heart be lifted up, and forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,

And he led thee through the great and cruel wilderness, where were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, and no water: and he caused water to pass out of the hard rock unto thee,

And fed thee with Man in the wilderness, of whom thy fathers knew nothing, that he might humble thee, and try thee, that he might do thee good hereafter.

Or else thou shalt say in thine heart, My strength, and the strength of mine hands, have gotten me this fortune;

But remember the LORD thy God: for he it is that giveth thee strength to do mighty works, to keep his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

But if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, and shalt go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day, that ye shall perish; 20. Even as the heathen which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye also perish, because ye obey not the voice of the LORD your God.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 9
Causes of the taking of the land of Canaan.

Hear, O Israel, thou shalt pass over Jordan this day, to come in to possess the nations that are greater and stronger than thou, great cities walled up to heaven, 2. A great and high nation, the children of Enakim, whom thou hast known, of whom also thou hast heard: who can stand against the children of Enak?

Know thou this day, that the LORD thy God goeth before thee, a devouring fire. He shall destroy them, and subdue them before thee, and shall drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

If therefore the LORD thy God hath driven them out from before thee, say not in thine heart,
The LORD hath brought me in to possess the land for my righteousness’ sake: for the LORD
hath driven out these heathen from before thee for their ungodliness.

For thou comest not in to possess their land, because of thy righteousness and uprightness of heart: but the LORD thy God doth drive out these heathen for their ungodliness, to keep the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess for thy righteousness’ sake, because thou art a stiff-necked people.

Remember and forget not how thou didst provoke the LORD thy God to anger in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came into this place, ye were disobedient to the LORD.

For in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to anger, that he might destroy you with wrath; 9. When I went up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, I tarried forty days and forty nights in the mount, neither eating bread, nor drinking water,

And the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and all the words thereon, as the LORD spake unto you out of the fire of the mount in the day of the congregation.

And after forty days and forty nights the LORD gave me the two tables of stone of the covenant.

And he said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence: for thy people, which thou broughtest up out of Egypt, have perished. They are gone quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten image.

And the LORD said unto me, I see that this people is a stiff-necked people.

Depart from me, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a stronger and a greater nation than this.

And when I turned, and came out of the mountain that burned with fire, having the two tables of the covenant upon both my hands,

Then I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, in that ye had made for yourselves a cast calf, and had soon turned out of the way which the LORD commanded you.

Then I took hold of both tables, and cast them out of both hands, and brake them in pieces before your eyes.

And fell down before the LORD, as at first, forty days and forty nights, and did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye did, when ye did this evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke him to anger.

For I was afraid of wrath and anger, because the LORD was wroth with you to destroy you.
But the LORD hearkened unto me this time also.

And the LORD was very wroth with Aaron, to destroy him: but I prayed also for Aaron in that day.

But your sin, the calf which ye had made, took I, and burned it with fire, and brake it in pieces, and brake it in pieces, until it became dust, and cast the dust into the brook that floweth down from the mountain.

And so ye provoked the LORD to anger at Thabeera, and at Massa, and at the tombs of pleasure.

And when he sent you out of Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, ye have disobeyed the mouth of the LORD your God, and have not believed in him, neither have ye obeyed his voice.

For ye have been disobedient to the LORD all the days that I have known you.

And I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, which I lay there: for the LORD said he would destroy you.

And I besought the LORD, saying, O LORD, O LORD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and hast brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the hardness and wickedness and sin of this people,

Lest the land from whence thou hast brought us should be spoken of: The LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he spake unto them: therefore he brought them out, because he was displeased with them, and slew them in the wilderness.

For they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou hast executed with thy great strength, and with thine outstretched arm.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 10
The renewal of the covenant is to provoke Israel to the love of God.

At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone, like unto the first, and come unto me into the mountain, and make thee a fine ark of wood, 2. Then will I write upon the tables the words that were upon the first which thou hast broken; and thou shalt put them in the ark.

So I made an ark of pine wood, and cut two tables of stone, as the first were, and went up into the mountain, and had the two tables in mine hands.

And he wrote upon the tables, as the first writing was, the ten words which the LORD spake unto you out of the fire of the mount in the time of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

And I turned, and departed from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, that they might be there, as the LORD commanded me.

And the children of Israel went out from Beroth-bne-jakan unto Moser. And Aaron died there, and is buried there: and Eleazar his son was priest for him.

And they went out from thence unto Gudegodah; and from Gudegodah unto Jathbath, a land of rivers.

At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to stand before the LORD, to serve him, and to praise his name, unto this day.

Therefore the Levites shall have no part nor inheritance with their brethren: for the LORD is their inheritance, as the LORD thy God hath spoken unto them.

And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also, and would not destroy thee.

And he said unto me, Arise, and go, that thou mayest go before the people, that they may come in and possess the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Now therefore, O Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD
thy God, and 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?

To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee?

Behold, the heaven, and all the heavens, and the earth, and all
