nor hear, nor eat. nor smell But if from
thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God.
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul When
thou art IN trlbuiatlon. and all these things
are come upon thee, even inthe latter DAYS,
if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shall
be obedIent unto his voice, (for the Lord
thy God is merciful God;) he will no, for
sake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget
the covenant of thy fathers which he sware
unto them. -
For ask now OF the days that are past,
which were before thee, since the day tina.

that thou migh,est know that the Lord he is
God there is none else beside him. Out
OF heaven he made thee TO hear his voice,
that he might instruct thee; and upon earth
he showed thee his great fire; and thou

Egypt: and they possessed his land, and
the land of o. king Of Bashan, two kings
of the Amorites, which were on this side
Jordan, toward the sun-rising; from Aroer,
which is by the bank of the river Arnon,
even unto mount Sihon. which is Hermon,
