1Yo, Israel, listen up! I'm dropping these rules for you to vibe with so you can live your best life and claim the land God’s giving you.

2Don’t be adding or taking away from what I’m telling you, fam. Just keep the commandments from the Lord, no cap.

3You’ve seen the wild stuff the Lord did to Baal–peor: all the dudes who followed that were wiped out. Savage.

4But you who stuck with the Lord are all still here, alive and thriving today.

5Check it! I’ve schooled you on the rules and judgments just like the Lord told me, so you gotta do this in the land you’re about to take over.

6So keep these rules and live them out; that’s your wisdom and understanding, and the nations will see and know you’re a smart crew.

7What other nation is as dope as ours, with God so close whenever we call on Him?

8And what nation has such righteous laws as this whole law I’m laying down for you today?

9Just be careful, keep your soul on lock, so you don’t forget what you’ve seen and keep it in your heart forever: teach it to your kids and their kids too.

10Especially that day when you stood before the Lord at Horeb, and He said, “Gather the people, I wanna drop my words on them so they learn to fear me for life and teach their kids.”

11Y'all rolled up and stood under the mountain; it was lit, burning all the way to heaven with darkness and mad clouds.

12The Lord spoke to you from the fire: you heard the words but saw no face, just vibes.

13He dropped the covenant on you, told you to keep ten commandments, and wrote them on two stone tablets.

14The Lord was like, "Teach these rules and judgments so you can pop off in the land you’re about to claim."

15So, keep it 100; you saw no figure when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the fire.

16Don't mess up and make a graven image, like any dude or girl vibes.

17Like any beast on earth or any bird flying in the air, no cap.

18Like anything creeping on the ground or any fish in the waters below, fr.

19And don’t look up to heaven; when you see the sun, moon, and stars, don’t get sus and start worshipping them.

20But the Lord pulled you out of that iron furnace, straight outta Egypt, to be His people, as you are today.

21God was lowkey mad at me for y'all's sake and swore I ain't crossing the Jordan to that dope land He’s handing you for keeps.

22I'm stuck here, no cap, but you guys are gonna roll over and claim that lit land.

23Stay woke, don’t forget the vibes of the Lord your God, or else you’ll end up making some sus idols that He totally said no to.

24For real, the Lord your God is a consuming fire, like a jealous vibe check.

25When you have kids and grandkids and chill in the land for a minute, don’t be out here messing up and making idols that’ll make God mad.

26I’m calling heaven and earth to back me up today, you’re gonna bounce from this land you’re trying to claim, and your days here will be short, fr.

27The Lord's gonna spread you out among the nations, and you'll be a small crew among the peeps out there.

28You’ll be serving those fake gods made by human hands, like wood and stone, that can’t see, hear, eat, or smell.

29But if you bounce back and seek the Lord your God, you’ll find Him for real if you go all in with your heart and soul.

30When life hits hard and all this stuff goes down, if you turn to the Lord your God and listen to His voice, you’ll be good.

31For real, God is super chill; He won’t ghost you, trash you, or forget the vibes He made with your fam.

32Ask about the past, like, since day one when God created peeps, and see if anything this lit has ever happened.

33Did anyone ever hear God’s voice coming outta the fire like you did and still be alive? No cap.

34Did God ever try to snatch a whole nation from another, with mad signs, wonders, and epic battles, showing off His power like He did for you in Egypt?

35It was shown to you so you’d know the Lord is the real deal; there’s no one else like Him.

36He made you hear His voice from heaven to teach you, and showed you His big fire on earth; you heard His words in the midst of that fire.

37He loved your ancestors, so He picked their crew and brought you out with His firepower from Egypt.

38To kick out nations that are way stronger than you, to bring you in and give you their land as your forever home, just like today.

39So, remember this day and keep it in your heart: the Lord is God up in heaven and down on earth; there’s no one else.

40Keep His rules and commands that I’m dropping on you today, so it’ll be all good for you and your kids, and you can live long on the land the Lord your God is giving you forever.

41Moses set up three cities over here by the Jordan, facing the sunrise; total vibes.

42So if someone accidentally claps their neighbor, they can dip to one of these spots and live, no cap.

43We got Bezer in the wilderness, Ramoth in Gilead, and Golan in Bashan—each poppin' for the peeps.

44This is the law Moses dropped for the squad of Israel: straight facts.

45These are the testimonies, statutes, and judgments Moses laid out for the crew after they bounced from Egypt, fr.

46Over here by the Jordan, in the valley across from Beth-peor, in Sihon's land, king of the Amorites—Moses and the crew took him down after they dipped from Egypt.

47They owned his land and the land of Og, king of Bashan; two kings of the Amorites, all chillin' on this side by the sunrise.

48From Aroer by the Arnon river to Mount Sion, which is Hermon—big mountain energy.

49And all the plain on this side of the Jordan eastward, all the way to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah—bussin'.

1Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.

2Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal–peor: for all the men that followed Baal–peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

4But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

5Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye 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 hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

8And what nation is there so great, that hath 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 thou forget the things which thine 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 thou stoodest before the Lord thy God 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 ye 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 spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

13And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

14And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

15Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

16Lest ye 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 flieth 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 thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou 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 God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

20But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye 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 God giveth thee for an inheritance:

22But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

23Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.

24For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

25When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye 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 God, to provoke him to anger:

26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

27And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you.

28And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

30When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

31(For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) 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 God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

33Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

34Or hath God 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 God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him.

36Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou 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 thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

38To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

39Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

40Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever.

41Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

42That the slayer might flee thither, 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 spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

46On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth–peor, 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.
