But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

At that time I commanded you: "The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your warriors are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you."

"O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see."

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.

Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear of all these statutes and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

For what nation is so great as to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?

that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,

For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.

Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.

Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation-by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors-as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?

Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you for all time."

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
