1
And when thou art come unto the land which YHVHa, thy Elohimb, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shall begin to build ye up villages, towns, and cities, in every village an Elderc shall be appointed to ruled, to teach, and to instruct.
2
And these shall govern the village according to the Toraha, and the command of the king, when thou shall desireb a king to be over thee;
3
And unto these shall the Priests and teachers give heed; and if there be other Elders, they also shall give heed to him.
4
¶ And ye shall not scatter abroad, after the manner of the sons of mana, nor dwell alone in the fields; ye shall dwell together in cities, in towns, and in villages.
5
Your inheritances shall be appointed to you, both in the places of your dwelling, and in the fields and forests round about.
6
In the fields and forests of these new lands thou may go and dwell, when thou labor there, but thou shall return; and thy treasures, thy granaries, and thy storehouses, shall be at the place of thy dwellings.
7
And if thou would in any wise go and dwell among strangers to gain power over them, or to get riches, or for any other reason whatsoever, thou shall not go except by permission of they whom YHVH shall call to watcha over thee,
8
And thou shall do as these commanda, lest ye be led away of thy own lusts, and be estranged from YHVH, thy Elohim, and be cast off forever;
9
Moreover, if ye go without permission, thou shall be spoiled of thy goods; and except thou repent and return, thou shall not have a place in the congregationa before YHVH.
10
¶ Thou shall not cut down the timber on the hills and mountains, lest your children suffer for want of wood and water.
11
Thou shall not destroy the groves along the shores of the lakes and ponds, lest the winds and storms make the land desolate, and both heat and cold destroy you;
12
Therefore, thou shall cause them to grow continually, and they shall beautify your inheritance, and thy children shall rise up and call thee blessed.
13
All those who receiveth an inheritance shall preserve a forest thereon, that their children may walk in the shade thereof, and may build houses and prepare food;
14
And that their cattle faint not with heat or drought, nor perish in the blast; and the land yield her increase; and if there no be enough trees for there to be a forest, thou shall planta them.
15
¶ Thou shall preserve the trees by the wayside; and if there be none, thou shall plant them, whether it be in the cities, towns, or villages, or the fields and forests, thou shall do it.
16
And all these things shall thou do as thy rulers shall appoint and shall Rulers determine, that the land be pleasant to thy offspring.
17
¶ And in your cities, and towns, and villages, and by the side of great waters, and ponds, and running streams, and springs, shall groves be appointed to you, that the aged and the young may go there to rest and to play.
18
There, ye shall all find joy in these things.
19
And unto Israel shall the seas and watersa be the highways; there all may pass in their vessels that thou mayest travel them and no one shall hinder thee.
20
And the deserts, and the forests, and the waste places; these too shall be as highways for Israel; thou mayest pass over them, and none shall prevent thee.
21
¶ And in this land that YHVH shall give thee, thou shall not clothe thyself after the manner of other nations; but after the manner that is seemly and convenient: thou shall clothe yourselves, placing the tzitzitsa in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations,
22
And this that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvotha and be holy unto thy Elohim.
23
And when ye shall demand for yourselves a king, your king, and your princes, and your judges and rulers shall clothe themselves according to their dignity;
24
And the Priest who administers at the altar, and he who administers in the sacraments which I appoint unto you, shall clothe in the robesa of their offices.
25
And all the people in their solemn assemblies, and in their gatherings together, shall clothe themselves according to the mitzvah of YHVH, thy Elohim;
26
And thy ornaments, and thy apparel, shall everyone wear, even as YHVH did appoint; everyone in their own order, with the tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments, and upon the tzitzit a bluea thread.
