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

“Listen ^H8085, Israel ^H3478, to the statutes ^H2706 and ordinances ^H4941 which ^H834 I am speaking ^H1696 today ^H3117 [fn]for you to hear ^H241, so 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 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 has commanded ^H6680 me to teach ^H3925 you, so that you may do ^H6213 them in the land ^H776 where ^H834 H8033 you are going ^H5674 over ^H5674 to take ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of it,

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

“Be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 that you do not forget ^H7911 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 by failing ^H1115 to keep ^H8104 His commandments ^H4687, His ordinances ^H4941, and His statutes ^H2708 which ^H834 I am commanding ^H6680 you today ^H3117;

“You shall therefore love ^H157 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430, and always ^H3605 H3117 keep ^H8104 His directive ^H4931, His statutes ^H2708, His ordinances ^H4941, and His commandments ^H4687.

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

“You shall appoint ^H5414 for yourself judges ^H8199 and officers ^H7860 in all ^H3605 your [fn]towns ^H8179 which ^H834 the LORD ^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 a case ^H1697 is ^H6381 too ^H4480 difficult ^H6381 for you to decide ^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, that are cases ^H1697 of dispute ^H7379 in your [fn]courts ^H8179, then you shall arise ^H6965 and go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the place ^H4725 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 chooses ^H977.

“Now this ^H2088 shall be the priests’ ^H3548 portion ^H4941 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 the priest ^H3548 the shoulder ^H2220, the two ^H3895 cheeks ^H3895, and the stomach ^H6896.

“Now if ^H3588 [fn]a person ^H376 has committed ^H1961 a sin ^H2399 carrying a sentence ^H4941 of death ^H4194 and he is put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191, and you hang ^H8518 him on [fn]a tree ^H6086,

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

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 people ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to [fn]court ^H4941, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 decide ^H8199 their case, and they declare ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 innocent ^H6663 and pronounce ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563 guilty ^H7561,

“This ^H2088 day ^H3117 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 commands ^H6680 you to perform ^H6213 these ^H428 statutes ^H2706 and ordinances ^H4941. Therefore you shall be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to perform ^H6213 them with all ^H3605 your heart ^H3824 and with all ^H3605 your soul ^H5315.

‘Cursed ^H779 is one who distorts ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due a stranger ^H1616, an [fn]orphan ^H3490, or a widow ^H490.’ And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 shall say ^H559, ‘Amen ^H543.’

“The Rock ^H6697! His work ^H6467 is 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 just ^H3477 is He.

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

And My hand ^H3027 has taken ^H270 hold ^H270 of justice ^H4941,

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

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

“They will teach ^H3384 Your ordinances ^H4941 to Jacob ^H3290,

And Your Law ^H8451 to Israel ^H3478.

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

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

“Then he [fn]selected ^H7200 the choicest ^H7225 part for himself,

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

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

He executed ^H6213 the justice ^H6666 of the LORD ^H3068,

And His ordinances ^H4941 with Israel ^H3478.”

Then on the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 they got ^H7925 up ^H7925 early ^H7925 at the dawning ^H7837 H5927 of ^H7837 the day ^H7837 and marched ^H5437 around ^H5437 the city ^H5892 in the same ^H2088 way ^H4941 seven ^H7651 times ^H6471; only ^H7534 on that day ^H3117 did they march ^H5437 around ^H5437 the city ^H5892 seven ^H7651 times ^H6471.

So the five ^H2568 men ^H376 departed ^H1980 and came ^H935 to Laish ^H3919, and saw ^H7200 the people ^H5971 who ^H834 were in it living ^H3427 in security ^H983, in the way ^H4941 of the Sidonians ^H6722, quiet ^H8252 and unsuspecting ^H982; for there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 [fn]oppressive ^H6114 ruler ^H3423 humiliating ^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 told ^H1696 the people ^H5971 the ordinances ^H4941 of the kingdom ^H4410, and wrote ^H3789 them in the book ^H5612, and placed ^H5117 it before ^H6440 the LORD ^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 [fn]administered ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6666 for all ^H3605 his people ^H5971.

“For all ^H3605 His ordinances ^H4941 were before ^H5048 me,

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