Moreover, charge Iosua and
courage him and bold him. For he shall go over before his people,
and he shall divide the land which thou shalt see unto them. And
so we abode in the valley beside Beth Peor.
Chapter .iiij.
And now hearken Israel unto the ordinances and laws which I teach
you, for to do them, that ye may live and go and conquer the land
which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall put
nothing unto the word which I command you neither do ought
therefrom, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God
which I command you. Your eyes have seen what the LORD did unto
Baal Peor: for all the men that followed Baal Peor, the LORD your
God hath destroyed from among you. But ye that clave unto the LORD
your God, are alive every one of you this day. Behold, I have
taught you ordinances and laws, such as the LORD my God commanded
me, that ye should do even so in the land whither ye go to possess
it. Keep them therefore and do them, for that is your wisdom and
understanding in the sight of the nations: which when they have
heard all these ordinances, shall say: O what a wise and
understanding people is this great nation. For what nation is so
great that hath Gods {Goddes} so nye unto him: as the LORD our God
is nye unto us, in all things, when we call unto him? Yea, and
what nation is so great that hath ordinances and laws so
righteous, as all this law which I set before you this day.
