He shall not multiply to himself horses: he shall not multiply to himself carriages:
1b
He shall not multiply to himself ships:
1c
He shall not multiply to himself armor:
1d
He shall have all these to defend his people, and the children of his people, but not to oppress them.
2a
¶ He shall not multiply to himself wives; lest he forget the Law, and avenge not his people: and lest his heart turn from them to strange women.
3
¶ He shall not multiply to himself servants of the children of his people; lest his yoke be oppressive.
4
¶ He shall not multiply to himself silver and gold; lest he be proud, and turn away from this Law, and do it not.
5
¶ Neither shall he lead his people to strange places to dwell therein, which the Lord thy God hath not appointed for their dwelling; lest they depart from the Law, and despise it.
6a
¶ He shall not make other Laws, despising this; but all his Laws and Commandments shall be according to the Law of the Lord thy God, to establish it.
6b
For the Lord thy God shall speak; he shall decree, and he shall alter it as seemeth good unto him, and none shall hinder.
