1
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses saying: Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them:
2
Ye shall be holy: for I, יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim am holy.
3
¶ And so it was that Moses spoke these words unto all Israel, saying unto them:
4
יהוה (YHVH) hath spoken unto me, saying: Thou shalt not go over this Jordan; but יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, He will go over before you.
5
And יהוה (YHVH) shall destroy the nations from before you, and you shall possess them; and Joshua, he shall go over before you even as יהוה (YHVH) hath said.
6
And יהוה (YHVH) shall do unto their elohim as He did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the elohim of the lands of them, for their elohim He did destroy.
7
And יהוה (YHVH) shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the instructions I have given you of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
8
Be strong and of good courage; fear not nor be afraid of them; for יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim is undefeated; יהוה (YHVH) will go with you and will not fail you nor forsake you.
9
¶ And unto Joshua I say: Be strong and of good courage; for you must go with this people unto the land which יהוה (YHVH) hath sworn unto our fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
10
And יהוה (YHVH) shall go before thee and will be with thee; יהוה (YHVH) will not fail thee neither forsake thee; fear not; neither be dismayed.
11
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spoke again unto all of Israel, saying:
12
Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall teach your children to observe to do, all the words of this Torah.
13
For it is not a vain thing for you because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, when ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14
¶ And יהוה (YHVH) did come down from that Mountain of Strength, and rose up, and did shine forth when He did come with ten thousand Kodesh;
15
From His right hand went the fire of the Torah for them; yea, יהוה (YHVH) loved the people.
16
And all the Kodesh of יהוה (YHVH) are in the hand of יהוה (YHVH); and they sit down at His feet; everyone shall receive of His words.
17
¶ And all that receive the words of יהוה (YHVH) shall receive also that breath of life, for these are counted as Israel by the covenant;
18
Therefore, all that shall be washed clean, these shall be set apart by the laying on of hands to wear the tzitzits,
19
For Israel shall be a nation of kings and queens, priests and priestesses unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
20
¶ And this that all of Israel might be blessed with knowledge and wisdom and given understanding, the mercy and strength of יהוה (YHVH).
21
And if ye shall cherish it, then shall יהוה (YHVH) establish you in all righteousness, with a new power;
22
¶ And it shall come to pass that as it passeth off and leaveth him, his gift shall continue, and he shall walk in newness of life;
23
Therefore, though ye shall be divided amongst the land that יהוה (YHVH) shall bless you with, know that you are all Israel.
24
Though you shall be divided by your lands and by your tribes, let thou seek to be familiar with one another by thy rods,
25
That ye shall know that all of Israel is to be one, even as יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, is One.
26
Go ye and cease not to do this and ye shall be holy: for יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim be holy.
