Deuteronomy 12:2 You shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which you shall possess served their Gods, upon the high mountains and upon the hills and under every green tree.

Deuteronomy 12:8 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

Proverbs 14:12; Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Deuteronomy 12:9 For you are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God gives you.

Deuteronomy 12:10 But when you go over Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit and when he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety;

Deuteronomy 12:11,12 Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall you bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave offering of your hand and all your choice vows which you vow unto the Lord. And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters and your menservants and your maidservants and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he has no part nor inheritance with you.

Deuteronomy 12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God..(*)

Deuteronomy 12:29,30 When the Lord your God shall cut off the nations from before you, whither you go to possess them and you succeed them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you and that you enquire not after their Gods, saying, How did these nations serve their Gods? even so will I do likewise.

But did they listen? No!.Numbers 14:43-45. Instead they set up all the Gods (small 'g', also written as God, all capitals; proper is God) they could learn about.

Deuteronomy 12:31 You shall not do so unto the Lord your God, for every abomination to the Lord which he hates, have they done in their worshipping.(word 'worshipping' is 'giving attention to').of their Gods, for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt.(Ezekiel 20:31).in the fire to their Gods.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it. You shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and gives you a sign or a wonder,

Deuteronomy 13:2 And the sign or the wonder comes to pass, whereof he spake unto you, saying, Let us go after other Gods.(saying 'see, I'm your leader, follow me in serving what I show you'; a false prophet will always lead you away from good and God by doctrines not of love and by words and directions which tend to take you from God {while telling you this is what God wants; they are liars} and more into the self or more likely, to themselves in some way, perhaps to get you to change your spiritual practices or to cause some sort of discontentment or to get you busy in some 'worthy' work and to keep the money flowing in to them), which you have not known and let us serve them;

Deuteronomy 13:3 You shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet. For the Lord your God proves you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 13:3 You shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet.(verses 1,2 above &.Deuteronomy 18:21,22).or that dreamer of dreams.(don't listen to falsies, those influenced by the dark side, who are out to use and abuse you, usually for money and/or some other selfish advantage). For the Lord your God proves you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

There are many satanists out there who are out to harm you in any way they can. Be very careful in accepting what another may say. Think and research on the way they may be leading you, as satanic ways always look good at first. Derek's example.

Wouldn't you also want to be pretty sure of another before you entrust him or her with all that's yours? There are many tricksters out there that make things look like you should bite at them and if you do, it'll all eventually come back and bite you. Square all you hear with the high principle of God and that is love:.Matthew 22:39,40; Romans 13:10.

To know if there is satanic influence behind the words another has adopted as being true, ask yourself about what he or she is saying, If followed, would it bring you closer to God and deeper in love for your fellowman or lead you away from the one and only true God of all life, love, light, compassion and creation? Don't drift aimlessly. Make a decision.

Deuteronomy 13:4,5 You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice and you shall serve him and cleave unto him. And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death.(does this putting to death still apply in New Testament times, the times of today?).because he has spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God.(that's how you recognize a false prophet).which brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord you God commanded you to walk in. So shall you put the evil away from the midst of you.

Deuteronomy 13:13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other Gods, which you have not known;

Not being content with the simple way of life the Creator reveals and not on a questioning path toward having any idea whatsover as to the real reason they are here, they wanted to explore whatever was available, even if it was evil. Such is the way of the decrepit state (basically selfish and self-willed) humanity resides in when of low consciousness.

Deuteronomy 13:15 You shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly and all that is therein and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

Why the cattle too? They were experimenting back then as they have done ever since, in mixing humans with animals. And, as today, the evil ones gross experiments have produced horrendous results. But this doesn't deter them from carring on with their satanically inspired ideas.

Deuteronomy 13:16 And you shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof and shalt burn with fire the city and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the Lord thy God. And it shall remain a heap for ever. It shall not be built again.

Deuteronomy 14:1 You are the children of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

Don't mark youself by making some special cutting on your body or by shaving your head to show that you had some special attachment to either a prominent person having passed on or to some idol still extant.

Deuteronomy 14:2 For you are a holy people unto the Lord your God and the Lord has chosen you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the Earth. 

Deuteronomy 14:3 You shalt not eat any abominable thing.

What were these? below verse 4-21 and in more detail in.Leviticus 11:1-47.

Deuteronomy 14:4-8 These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox.(a castrated bull; a bovine animal), the sheep and the goat, the hart.(deer).and the roebuck.(gazelle, small, swift antelopes of Africa and Asia, characteristically having a slender neck and annulate horns).and the fallow deer.(antelope).and the wild goat.(ibex).and the pygarg.(means 'springing', one of the animals of the antelop family, over 3 1/2 feet high at the shoulder and with its gently-twisted horns of some 2 1/2 feet long, pure white with a short black mane and a tinge of tawny on the shoulders and back ...Tristram's Natural History).and the wild ox.(*).and the chamois.(*).. And every beast that parts the hoof and cleaves the cleft into two claws and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat. Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof, as the camel and thehare.(similar to a rabbit but with longer ears).and the coney.(a European rabbit), for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, therefore they are unclean unto you. And the swine.(pig), because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean unto you. You shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

Deuteronomy 14:9-21 These you shall eat of all that are in the waters. All that have fins and scales shall you eat. And whatsoever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean unto you. Of all clean birds you shall eat. But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle and the ossifrage.(the lammer-geier, or bearded vulture, the largest vultures tribe).and theospray.(also spelt 'osprey' which is a fish eating hawk and also a black eagle is an osprey).and the glede.(the Milvus ater or black kite).and the kite.(any of various predatory birds of the hawk family, having a long, often forked tail and long pointed wings).and the vulture.(any of various large birds of prey of the New World family Cathartidae or of the Old World family Accipitridae, characteristically having dark plumage and a featherless head and neck and generally feeding on carrion {dead and decaying flesh}).after his kind, And every raven after his kind and the owl and the night hawk and the cuckow.(a gull or seagull).and the hawk after his kind, The little owl and the great owl and the swan and the pelican and the gier eagle.(type of eagle that may not be extinct).and the cormorant.(of the pelican family; birds that plunge down).and the stork.(like a crane but larger).and the heron after her kind.(inhabits marshes and rivers in regions of the East; a wading bird, peculiarly irritable).and the lapwing.(of the genus Vanellus related to the plovers, having a narrow crest and erratic flight behavior; also called green plover, pewit; makes a sound like the word 'hoop').and the bat. And every creeping thing that flies is unclean unto you. They shall not be eaten. But of all clean fowls you may eat. You shall not eat of any thing that dies of itself. You shall give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it or you may sell it unto an alien.(one not this group of people), for you are an holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.(not to use for cooking and eating, the young of the goat still being fed by its mother).

Deuteronomy 14:22 You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed.(not applicable today, but was part of the Mosaic Law way back when), that the field brings forth year by year.

Deuteronomy 14:28 At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year and shall lay it up within your gates.

Deuteronomy 14:29 And the Levite, because he has no part nor inheritance with you and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, which are within your gates, shall come and shall eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Deuteronomy 15:1-5 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour or of his brother, because it is called the Lord's release. Of a foreigner you may exact it again, but that which is yours with your brother your hand shall release, save.(except).when there shall be no poor among you, for the Lord shall greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, only if you carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command you this day. 

Deuteronomy 15:6 For the Lord your God blesses you as he promised you and you shall lend unto many nations but you shall not borrow and you shall reign over many nations but they shall not reign over you.

Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of your brethren within any gates in your land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother..(verse 11 below and more on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8)

Deuteronomy 15:8-10 But you shall open your hand wide unto him and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wants.(original 'is in want of'; what he lacks). Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nought and he cry unto the Lord against you and it be sin unto you. You shall surely give him and your heart shall not be grieved when you give unto him, because that for this thing the Lord your God shall bless you in all your works and in all that you put your hand unto.

Deuteronomy 15:11.(closer to the intent of the original).For the poor will never cease out of the land until something is done for these mostly helpless ones, therefore I command you, saying, open your hand wide unto your brother and sister, to your poor and to your needy in your land..(more on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8)

Deuteronomy 15:12-18 And if your brother or sister, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman is sold unto you and serve you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him or her go free from you. And when you send him or her out free from you, you shall not let either of them go away empty. You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock and out of your floor.(threshing floor; stock of grains, etc.).and out of thy winepress. Of that wherewith the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give. And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today. And it shall be if he or she say unto you, I will not go away from you because he or she would rather stay with you in your house, because they got along well with you, Then you shall take an aul.(to pierce the ear).and thrust it through his or her ear unto the door and either or both of them shall be your servant forever. And also unto your maidservant you shall do likewise. It shall not seem hard unto you when you send him away free from you, for he has been worth a double hired servant to you in serving you six years and the Lord your God shall bless you in all that you do.

Deuteronomy 15:21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame or blind or have any ill blemish, you shall not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.

Deuteronomy 16:2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose to place his name there.

Deuteronomy 16:5,6 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God gives you. But at the place which the Lord your God shall choose to place his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes and they shall judge the people with just judgment..(*)

Deuteronomy 16:19 You shalt not wrest.judgment. Thou shalt not respect persons.(give favor to one over another because you're looking for some selfish advantage; more), neither take a gift.(a bribe), for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous. 

Deuteronomy 17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord your God gives you, man or woman, that has wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing his covenant,

Deuteronomy 17:3 And have gone and served other Gods and worshipped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded..(?)

Deuteronomy 17:4 And it be told you and you have heard of it and enquired diligently and behold, it be true and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel.

Deuteronomy 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away. Neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Deuteronomy 17:19 And it shall be with him and he shall read therein all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them.

Deuteronomy 18:1,2 The priests the Levites and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren. The Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire.(Deuteronomy 12:31) or that uses divination or an observer of times or an enchanter or a witch,

He or she who closes his eyes to abominations done today to good innocent children and adults, is ensuring his or her similar fate:.Ezra 9:13.

Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer or a consulter with familiar spirits or a wizard or a necromancer.

Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God does drive the nations doing such things out from before you.

God used both Moses (Exodus 17:11) and later Joshua to exterminate the evil ones:.Joshua 6:1-27. Today the true God is using the Alliances of both Earth and the non terrestrials.

Deuteronomy 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 

Deuteronomy 18:14 For these nations, which you shall possess, hearkened unto observers of times and unto diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not suffered you so to do.

Deuteronomy 18:15 The Lord your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me. Unto him you shall hearken.

Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you and will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

The Prophet (what's a prophet?) is Christ, so what all is He in charge of and how does He put words in one's mouth? And how would one know if this prophet is genuine, that is, really saying what God wants the prophet to say to others? Verses below.

John 4:25.

Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him..(?)

Deuteronomy 18:21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?

How are we supposed to know that God hasn't spoken through one who claims to be a prophet? verses 18,19, above and 22 below.

Deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass.(but, what if it does come to pass?.Deuteronomy 13:1-3), that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously.(Jeremiah 27:9,10). You shall not be afraid of him.

Original for 'afraid of him' is 'take him into a place of comfort' in your heart, so, don't acccept as true what's been told to you, that's the caution being talked about here:.Acts 17:11.

Deuteronomy 19:2-10 You shall separate three cities for you in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you to possess it. You shall prepare you a way and divide the coasts of your land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither. And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live. Whoso kills his neighbour ignorantly.(didn't mean to; today called manslaughter), whom he hated not in time past, an example being as when a man goes into the woods with his neighbour to hew wood and his hand makes a stroke with an axe to cut down the tree and the head slips from the helve and strikes his neighbour, that he die. He shall then flee unto one of those cities and live, lest the avenger of the blood.(such as a family member).pursue the slayer to kill him, while his heart is hot and overtake him, because the way is long to the city of refuge and he may have time to catch up to  him. Whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. Wherefore I command you, saying, You shalt separate three cities for this. And if the Lord your God enlarge your coast, as he has sworn unto your fathers and give you all the land which he promised to give unto your fathers, if you keep all these commandments to do them which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God and to walk always in his ways, then shall you add three cities more for you, beside these three, so that innocent blood be not shed in your area, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance and so blood would then be upon you.

See on at Numbers 35:6-28.

Deuteronomy 19:11-13 But if any man hate his neighbour and lie in wait for him and rise up against him and smite him mortally that he die and flees into one of these cities. Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.

Deuteronomy 19:16-20 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; And the judges shall make diligent inquisition and behold, if the witness be found out to be a false witness and has testified falsely against his brother; Then shall you do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother, so shall you put the evil away from among you. And those which remain shall hear and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

Deuteronomy 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity, but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Matthew 5:38.
