11:26
"See, I am setting before you
today a blessing and a curse -
11:27
the blessing, if you listen to
the mitzvot of ADONAI your God that I am giving you today;
11:28
and the curse, if you don't
listen to the mitzvot of ADONAI your God, but turn aside from the way I am
ordering you today and follow other gods that you have not known.
11:29
"When ADONAI your God brings you
into the land you are entering in order to take possession of it, you are to put
the blessing on Mount G'rizim and the curse on Mount 'Eival.
11:30
Both are west of the Yarden, in
the direction of the sunset, in the land of the Kena'ani living in the 'Aravah,
across from Gilgal, near the pistachio trees of Moreh.
11:31
For you are to cross the Yarden
to enter and take possession of the land ADONAI your God is giving you; you are
to own it and live in it.
11:32
And you are to take care to
follow all the laws and rulings I am setting before you today.
12:1
Here are the laws and rulings
you are to observe and obey in the land ADONAI, the God of your ancestors, has
given you to possess as long as you live on earth.
12:2
You must destroy all the places
where the nations you are dispossessing served their gods, whether on high
mountains, on hills, or under some leafy tree.
12:3
Break down their altars, smash
their standing-stones to pieces, burn up their sacred poles completely and cut
down the carved images of their gods. Exterminate their name from that place.
12:4
"But you are not to treat ADONAI
your God this way.
12:5
Rather, you are to come to the
place where ADONAI your God will put his name. He will choose it from all your
tribes; and you will seek out that place, which is where he will live, and go
there.
12:6
You will bring there your burnt
offerings, your sacrifices, your tenths [that you set aside for ADONAI], the
offerings that you give, the offerings you have vowed, your voluntary offerings,
and the firstborn of your cattle and sheep.
12:7
There you will eat in the
presence of ADONAI your God; and you will rejoice over everything you set out to
do, you and your households, in which ADONAI your God has blessed you.
12:8
You will not do things the way
we do them here today, where everyone does whatever in his own opinion seems
right;
12:9
because you haven't yet arrived
at the rest and inheritance which ADONAI your God is giving you.
12:10
But when you cross the Yarden
and live in the land ADONAI your God is having you inherit, and he gives you
rest from all your surrounding enemies, so that you are living in safety;

then you will bring all that I
am ordering you to the place ADONAI your God chooses to have his name live -your
burnt offerings, sacrifices, tenths, the offering from your hand, and all your
best possessions that you dedicate to ADONAI;
12:12
and you will rejoice in the
presence of ADONAI your God - you, your sons and daughters, your male and female
slaves and the Levi staying with you, inasmuch as he has no share or inheritance
with you.
12:13
"Be careful not to offer your
burnt offerings just anywhere you see,
12:14
but do it in the place ADONAI
will choose in one of your tribal territories; there is where you are to offer
your burnt offerings and do everything I order you to do.
12:15
However, you may slaughter and
eat meat wherever you live and whenever you want, in keeping with the degree to
which ADONAI your God has blessed you. The unclean and the clean may eat it, as

12:16
But don't eat the blood; pour it
out on the ground like water.
12:17
"You are not to eat on your own
property the tenth of your grain, new wine or olive oil [that you set aside for
ADONAI], or the firstborn of your cattle or sheep, or any offering you have
vowed, or your voluntary offering, or the offering from your hand.
12:18
No, you are to eat these in the

your sons, daughters, male and female slaves, and the Levi who is your guest;
and you are to rejoice before ADONAI your God in everything you undertake to do.
12:19
As long as you are living on
your property, take care not to abandon the Levi.
12:20
"When ADONAI your God expands
your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, 'I want to eat meat,'
simply because you want to eat meat, then you may eat meat, as much as you want.
12:21
If the place which ADONAI your
God chooses to place his name is too far away from you; then you are to
slaughter animals from your cattle or sheep, which ADONAI has given you; and eat
on your own property, as much as you want.
12:22
Eat it as you would gazelle or
deer; the unclean and clean alike may eat it.
12:23
Just take care not to eat the
blood, for the blood is the life, and you are not to eat the life with the meat.
12:24
Don't eat it, but pour it out on
the ground like water.
12:25
Do not eat it, so that things
will go well with you and with your children after you, as you do what ADONAI
sees as right.
12:26
Only the things set aside for
God which you have, and the vows you have vowed to make, you must take and go to
the place which ADONAI will choose.
12:27
There you will offer your burnt
offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of ADONAI your God. The blood of
your sacrifices is to be poured out on the altar of ADONAI your God, and you
will eat the meat.
12:28
Obey and pay attention to
everything I am ordering you to do, so that things will go well with you and
with your descendants after you forever, as you do what ADONAI sees as good and
right.

"When ADONAI your God has cut
off ahead of you the nations you are entering in order to dispossess, and when
you have dispossessed them and are living in their land;
12:30
be careful, after they have been
destroyed ahead of you, not to be trapped into following them; so that you
inquire after their gods and ask, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I
want to do the same.'
12:31
You must not do this to ADONAI
your God! For they have done to their gods all the abominations that ADONAI
hates! They even burn up their sons and daughters in the fire for their gods!
12:32
"Everything I am commanding you,
you are to take care to do. Do not add to it or subtract from it.
13:1
"If a prophet or someone who
gets messages while dreaming arises among you and he gives you a sign or wonder,
13:2
and the sign or wonder comes
about as he predicted when he said, 'Let's follow other gods, which you have not
known; and let us serve them,'
13:3
you are not to listen to what
that prophet or dreamer says. For ADONAI your God is testing you, in order to
find out whether you really do love ADONAI your God with all your heart and
being.
13:4
You are to follow ADONAI your
God, fear him, obey his mitzvot, listen to what he says, serve him and cling to
him;
13:5
and that prophet or dreamer is
to be put to death; because he urged rebellion against ADONAI your God, who
brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from a life of slavery; in
order to seduce you away from the path ADONAI your God ordered you to follow.
This is how you are to rid your community of this wickedness.
13:6
"If your brother the son of your
mother, or your son, or your daughter, or your wife whom you love, or your
friend who means as much to you as yourself, secretly tries to entice you to go
and serve other gods, which you haven't known, neither you nor your ancestors -
13:7
gods of the peoples surrounding
you, whether near or far away from you, anywhere in the world -
13:8
you are not to consent, and you
are not to listen to him; and you must not pity him or spare him; and you may
not conceal him.
13:9
Rather, you must kill him! Your
own hand must be the first one on him in putting him to death, and afterwards
the hands of all the people.
13:10
You are to stone him to death;
because he has tried to draw you away from ADONAI your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, out of a life of slavery.
13:11
Then all Isra'el will hear about
it and be afraid, so that they will stop doing such wickedness as this among
themselves.
13:12
"If you hear it told that in one
of your cities which ADONAI your God is giving you to live in,
13:13
certain scoundrels have sprung
up among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city by saying, 'Let's
go and serve other gods, which you haven't known,'
13:14
then you are to investigate the
matter, inquiring and searching diligently. If the rumor is true, if it is
confirmed that such detestable things are being done among you,
13:15
you must put the inhabitants of
that city to death with the sword, destroying it completely with the sword,
everything in it, including its livestock.
13:16
Heap all its spoils in an open
space, and burn the city with its spoils to the ground for ADONAI your God; it
will remain a tel forever and not be built again -
13:17
none of what has been set apart
for destruction is to stay in your hands. Then ADONAI will turn from his fierce
anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and increase your numbers, as
he swore to your ancestors -
13:18
provided you listen to what
ADONAI says and obey all his mitzvot that I am giving you today, thus doing what
ADONAI your God sees as right.

"At the end of every seven years
you are to have a sh'mittah.
15:2
Here is how the sh'mittah is to
be done: every creditor is to give up what he has loaned to his fellow member of
the community -he is not to force his neighbor or relative to repay it, because
ADONAI's time of remission has been proclaimed.
15:3
You may demand that a foreigner
repay his debt, but you are to release your claim on whatever your brother owes
you.
15:4
In spite of this, there will be
no one needy among you; because ADONAI will certainly bless you in the land
which ADONAI your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess -
15:5
if only you will listen
carefully to what ADONAI your God says and take care to obey all these mitzvot I
am giving you today.
15:6
Yes, ADONAI your God will bless
you, as he promised you - you will lend money to many nations without having to
borrow, and you will rule over many nations without their ruling over you.
15:7
"If someone among you is needy,
one of your brothers, in any of your towns in your land which ADONAI your God is
giving you, you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from giving to
your needy brother.
15:8
No, you must open your hand to
him and lend him enough to meet his need and enable him to obtain what he wants.
15:9
Guard yourself against allowing
your heart to entertain the mean-spirited thought that because the seventh year,
the year of sh'mittah is at hand, you would be stingy toward your needy brother
and not give him anything; for then he may cry out to ADONAI against you, and it
will be your sin.
15:10
Rather, you must give to him;
and you are not to be grudging when you give to him. If you do this, ADONAI your
God will bless you in all your work, in everything you undertake -
15:11
for there will always be poor
people in the land. That is why I am giving you this order, 'You must open your
hand to your poor and needy brother in your land.'
15:12
"If your kinsman, a Hebrew man
or woman, is sold to you, he is to serve you for six years; but in the seventh
year, you are to set him free.
15:13
Moreover, when you set him free,
don't let him leave empty-handed;
15:14
but supply him generously from
your flock, threshing-floor and winepress; from what ADONAI your God has blessed
you with, you are to give to him.
15:15
Remember that you were a slave
in the land of Egypt, and ADONAI your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving
you this order today.
15:16
But if he says to you, 'I don't
want to leave you,' because he loves you and your household, and because his
life with you is a good one;
15:17
then take an awl, and pierce his
ear through, right into the door; and he will be your slave forever. Do the same
with your female slave.
15:18
Don't resent it when you set him
free, since during his six years of service he has been worth twice as much as a
hired employee. Then ADONAI your God will bless you in everything you do.

Dear friends, don't trust every spirit. On the contrary, test the spirits to see
whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the
world.
4:2
Here is how you recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges
that Yeshua the Messiah came as a human being is from God,
4:3
and every spirit which does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God - in fact,
this is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah. You have heard that he is coming. Well,
he's here now, in the world already!
4:4
You, children, are from God and have overcome the false prophets, because he who
is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
4:5
They are from the world; therefore, they speak from the world's viewpoint; and
the world listens to them.
4:6
We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God
doesn't listen to us. This is how we distinguish the Spirit of truth from the
spirit of error.
