The Scriptures 1998

Deuteronomy 4:33-43 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

33. “Has a people heard the voice of Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

34. “Or has Elohim tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of a nation by trials, and by signs, and by wonders, and by battle, and by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great fearsome deeds, according to all that יהוה your Elohim did for you in Mitsrayim before your eyes?

35. “You have been shown it, to know that יהוה Himself is Elohim; there is no one beside Him.

36. “From the heavens He let you hear His voice, to instruct you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37. “And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought you out of Mitsrayim with His Presence, with His great power,

38. to drive out from before you nations greater and stronger than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today.

39. “And you shall know today, and shall recall to your heart that יהוה Himself is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is none else.

40. “And you shall guard His laws and His commands which I command you today, so that it is well with you and with your children after you, and so that you prolong your days on the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you for all time.”

41. Then Mosheh separated three cities beyond the Yardĕn, toward the rising of the sun,

42. for him who killed someone to flee there, he who kills his neighbour unintentionally, without having hated him in time past, and might flee to one of these cities and live:

43. Betser in the wilderness in the level land for the Re’uḇĕnites, and Ramoth in Gil‛aḏ for the Gaḏites, and Golan in Bashan for the Menashshites.
