Deuteronomy 4:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
4 1 An exhortation to observe the law without adding thereto or diminishing. 6 Therein standeth our wisdom. 9 We must teach it to our children. 15 No image ought to be made to worship. 26 Threatenings against them that forsake the Law of God. 37 God chose the seed because he loved their fathers.
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the ordinances and to the laws which I teach you to [a]do, that ye may live and go in, and possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
2 (A)Ye shall [b]put nothing unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye [c]take ought there from, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Your [d]eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal Peor, for all the men that followed Baal Peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed every one from among you.
