I was afraid of the anger of the Lord which was burning against you to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me again.

The Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go and take for your own the land I have given you.' But you went against what the Lord your God told you to do. You did not believe Him or listen to His voice.

But your own eyes have seen all the great work the Lord has done.

But the land you are about to go into and take for your own is a land of hills and valleys. It drinks water from the rain of heaven.

But a curse will come to you if you do not listen to the Laws of the Lord your God and turn aside from the way I am telling you today, by following other gods you have not known.

But do not act like this toward the Lord your God.

But give your burnt gifts in the place which the Lord chooses in the land where your families live. There you should do all that I tell you.

"But you may kill and eat meat within any of your towns, as much as you want, as the Lord your God has given you His good gifts. Both the clean and the unclean may eat of it, as you would of the gazelle and the deer.

But you should eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God will choose, you and your son and daughter, your men and women servants, and the Levite who is within your towns. Be full of joy before the Lord your God in everything you do.

Do not eat it, but pour it out on the ground like water.

But be careful that you are not fooled into following them, after they are destroyed before you. Do not ask about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods so that I may do the same?'

And what he tells you will happen might come true. But if he says to you, ‘Let us follow other gods (whom you have not known) and let us worship them,'

But that man who tells what is going to happen or that dreamer of dreams must be put to death, because he has talked to you about turning away from the Lord your God Who brought you from the land of Egypt and set you free from the land where you were servants. That man tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God told you to walk. You must take the sinful away from you.

But you must listen to the voice of the Lord your God. Obey all His Laws which I am telling you today. Do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

But you must not eat of those that chew their food again or have a divided foot: the camel, the rabbit and the rock badger. For though they eat their food again, they do not have a divided foot. They are unclean to you.

And do not eat the pig, because it has a divided foot but does not chew its food again. It is unclean for you. Do not eat any of their flesh or touch their dead bodies.

But do not eat anything that does not have fins and scales. It is unclean for you.

But these are the ones you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,

But you may eat any clean bird.

You may make a stranger pay what he owes, but not your brother.
