Then Moses ^H4872 summoned ^H7121 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 and said ^H559 to them:

“Hear ^H8085, O Israel ^H3478, the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941 which ^H834 I am speaking ^H1696 today ^H3117 in your [fn]hearing ^H241, that you may learn ^H3925 them and be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to do ^H6213 them.

“Now this ^H2088 is the commandment ^H4687, the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941, which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has commanded ^H6680 me to teach ^H3925 you, that you might do ^H6213 it in the land ^H776 where ^H834 H8033 you are going ^H5674 over ^H5674 to possess ^H3423 it,

“When ^H3588 your son ^H1121 asks ^H7592 you in time ^H4279 to come ^H4279, saying ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 do the testimonies ^H5713 and the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941 mean which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 commanded ^H6680 you?’

“[fn]Beware ^H8104 lest ^H6435 you forget ^H7911 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 by not keeping ^H8104 His commandments ^H4687 and His judgments ^H4941 and His statutes ^H2708 which ^H834 I am commanding ^H6680 you today ^H3117;

“You shall therefore love ^H157 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430, and keep ^H8104 His charge ^H4931, His statutes ^H2708, His judgments ^H4941, and His commandments ^H4687 all ^H3605 your days ^H3117.

“These ^H428 are the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941 which ^H834 you shall be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to do ^H6213 in the land ^H776 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of your fathers ^H1, has given ^H5414 you to possess ^H3423 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 you live ^H2416 on the [fn]earth ^H127.

“You shall appoint ^H5414 for yourself judges ^H8199 and officers ^H7860 in all ^H3605 your gates ^H8179 of the towns which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 is giving ^H5414 you, according to your tribes ^H7626, and they shall judge ^H8199 the people ^H5971 with righteous ^H6664 judgment ^H4941.

“If ^H3588 any case ^H1697 is ^H6381 too ^H4480 difficult ^H6381 for you to judge ^H4941, between ^H996 [fn]one kind of homicide ^H1818 or another ^H1818, between ^H996 [fn]one kind of lawsuit ^H1779 or another ^H1779, and between ^H996 [fn]one kind of assault ^H5061 or another ^H5061, being cases ^H1697 of dispute ^H7379 in your gates ^H8179, then you shall arise ^H6965 and go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the place ^H4725 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 chooses ^H977.

“Now this ^H2088 shall be the legal judgment ^H4941 for the priests ^H3548 taken from the people ^H5971, from those who offer ^H2076 a sacrifice ^H2077, either ^H518 an ox ^H7794 or ^H518 a sheep ^H7716: they shall give ^H5414 to the priest ^H3548 the shoulder ^H2220 and the two ^H3895 cheeks ^H3895 and the stomach ^H6896.

“And if ^H3588 a man ^H376 has committed ^H1961 a sin ^H2399, the judgment ^H4941 of which is death ^H4194, and he is put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191, and you hang ^H8518 him on a tree ^H6086,

“You shall not pervert ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 [fn]due a sojourner ^H1616 or [fn]an orphan ^H3490, nor ^H3808 take ^H2254 a widow’s ^H490 garment ^H899 in ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 men ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to court ^H4941 for judgment, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 judge ^H8199 their case, and they justify ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 and condemn ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563,

“This ^H2088 day ^H3117 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 commands ^H6680 you to do ^H6213 these ^H428 statutes ^H2706 and judgments ^H4941. You shall therefore be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to do ^H6213 them with all ^H3605 your heart ^H3824 and with all ^H3605 your soul ^H5315.

‘Cursed ^H779 is he who perverts ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due a sojourner ^H1616, [fn]orphan ^H3490, and widow ^H490.’ And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 shall say ^H559, ‘Amen ^H543.’

“The Rock ^H6697! His work ^H6467 is [fn]perfect ^H8549,

For all ^H3605 His ways ^H1870 are [fn]just ^H4941;

A God ^H410 of faithfulness ^H530 and without ^H369 injustice ^H5766,

Righteous ^H6662 and upright ^H3477 is He.

If ^H518 I sharpen ^H8150 My [fn]flashing ^H1300 sword ^H2719,

And My hand ^H3027 takes ^H270 hold ^H270 on judgment ^H4941,

I will render ^H7725 vengeance ^H5359 on My adversaries ^H6862,

And I will repay ^H7999 those who hate ^H8130 Me.

“They shall [fn]teach ^H3384 Your judgments ^H4941 to Jacob ^H3290,

And Your law ^H8451 to Israel ^H3478.

They shall put ^H7760 incense ^H6988 [fn]before ^H639 You,

And whole ^H3632 burnt ^H3632 offerings ^H3632 on Your altar ^H4196.

“Then he [fn]provided ^H7200 the first ^H7225 part for himself,

For there ^H8033 the ruler’s ^H2710 portion ^H2513 was [fn]reserved ^H5603;

And he came ^H857 with the heads ^H7218 of the people ^H5971;

He did ^H6213 the righteousness ^H6666 of Yahweh ^H3068,

And His judgments ^H4941 with Israel ^H3478.”

Then it happened ^H1961 that on the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 they rose ^H7925 early ^H7925 at the [fn]breaking ^H7837 H5927 of dawn ^H7837 and marched ^H5437 around ^H5437 the city ^H5892 in the same ^H2088 manner ^H4941 seven ^H7651 times ^H6471; only ^H7534 on that day ^H3117 they marched ^H5437 around ^H5437 the city ^H5892 seven ^H7651 times ^H6471.

Then the five ^H2568 men ^H376 went ^H1980 forth and came ^H935 to Laish ^H3919 and saw ^H7200 the people ^H5971 who ^H834 were in it living ^H3427 in security ^H983, after the [fn]manner ^H4941 of the Sidonians ^H6722, quiet ^H8252 and secure ^H982; for there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 [fn]oppressive ^H6114 conqueror ^H3423 dishonoring ^H3637 them for anything ^H1697 in the land ^H776, and they were far ^H7350 from the Sidonians ^H6722 and had ^H369 no ^H369 dealings ^H1697 with anyone ^H120.

Then Samuel ^H8050 spoke ^H1696 with the people ^H5971 about the legal judgments ^H4941 of the kingdom ^H4410 and wrote ^H3789 them in the book ^H5612 and placed ^H5117 it before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068. And Samuel ^H8050 sent ^H7971 all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 away ^H7971, each ^H376 one ^H376 to his house ^H1004.

So David ^H1732 reigned ^H4427 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478; and David ^H1732 was doing ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6666 for all ^H3605 his people ^H5971.

“For all ^H3605 His [fn]judgments ^H4941 were before ^H5048 me,

And as for His statutes ^H2708, I did not depart ^H5493 from [fn]them.
