Devarim 4:32-49 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

32. For ask now of the yamim that are past, which were before thee, since the yom that Elohim bara man upon Ha'Aretz, and ask from the one side of Shomayim unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

33. Did ever people hear the kol Elohim speaking out of the midst of the eish, as thou hast heard, and live?

34. Or hath Elohim tried to go and take Him a nation from the midst of another nation, by massot (trials), by otot, by mofetim, by milchamah, by a yad chazakah, by an out- stretched zero'a, by great terrors, according to all that Hashem Eloheicha did for you in Mitzrayim before your eyes?

35. Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Hashem He is HaElohim; there is none else beside Him.

36. Out of Shomayim He made thee to hear His voice, that He might discipline thee; upon Ha'Aretz He showed thee His eish hagedolah; and thou heardest His devarim out of the midst of the eish.

37. And because He loved Avoteicha, therefore He chose their zera after them, and brought thee out in His sight with His ko'ach hagadol out of Mitzrayim;

38. To drive out Goyim from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for a nachalah, as it is yom hazeh.

39. Know therefore today, and consider it in thine lev, that Hashem He is HaElohim in Shomayim above, and upon Ha'Aretz beneath: there is no other.

40. Thou shalt be shomer over His chukkim, therefore, and His mitzvot, which I command thee today, that it may go well with thee, and with thy banim after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy yamim upon Ha'Aretz, which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee, kol hayamim.

41. Then Moshe separated and set apart three towns on this side of the Yarden toward the rising of the shemesh;

42. That the rotze'ach might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these towns he might live:

43. Namely, Betzer in the midbar, in the flatland, of the Reuveni; and Ramot in Gil`ad, of the Gadi; and Golan in Bashan, of the Menashi.

44. And this is the torah which Moshe set before the Bnei Yisroel;

45. These are the edot, and the chukkim, and the mishpatim, which Moshe spoke unto the Bnei Yisroel, after they came forth out of Mitzrayim.

46. On this side of the Yarden, in the valley over against Beit Peor, in Eretz Sichon Melech HaEmori, who dwelt at Cheshbon, whom Moshe and the Bnei Yisroel struck down, after they were come forth out of Mitzrayim;

47. And they possessed his land, and Eretz Og Melech HaBashan, two melachim of HaEmori, which were on this side of the Yarden toward the rising of the shemesh;

48. From Aroer, which is by the edge of the Wadi Arnon, even unto Mt Siyon, which is Chermon,

49. And all the Aravah on this side of the Yarden eastward, even unto the Dead Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah.
