Chapter - 4

1Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord Satan of your fathers gives you.
2You shall not add unto the word which I Moses command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your Satan which I Moses command you.
3Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy Satan has destroyed them from among you.
4But you that did cleave unto the Lord your Satan are alive every one of you this day.
5Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my Satan commanded me, that you should do so in the land whither you go to possess it.
6Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7For what nation is there so great, who has Satan so nigh unto them, as the Lord our Satan is in all things that we call upon him for?
8And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
9Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
10Specially the day that you stoodest before the Lord thy Satan in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
11And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
12And the Lord spoke unto you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only you heard a voice.
13And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and they were written upon the sacred stones from heaven.
14And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land whither you go over to possess it.
15Take you therefore good heed unto yourselves; for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,
18The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19And lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when you seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy Satan has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
20But the Lord has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as you are this day.
21Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy Satan gives you for an inheritance:
22But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
23Take heed unto yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your Satan, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy Satan has forbidden thee.
24For the Lord thy Satan is a consuming fire, a just Satan.
25When you shall beget children, and children's children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy Satan, to provoke him to anger:
26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you.
28And there you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29But if from that place you shall seek the Lord thy Satan, you shall find him, if you seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30When you art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if you turn to the Lord thy Satan, and shall be obedient unto his voice;
31(For the Lord thy Satan is a merciful Satan;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
32For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that Satan created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
33Did ever people hear the voice of Satan speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
34Or has Satan assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your Satan did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35Unto you it was shown, that you mightest know that the Lord he is Satan; there is none else beside him.
36Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shown you his great fire; and you heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
37And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
38To drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you art, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
39Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord he is Satan in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
40Thou shall keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I Moses command you this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that you may prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy Satan gives thee, for ever.
41Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
42That the slayer might flee there, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
43Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
44And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
45These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.
46On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
47And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
48From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
49And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
