The Great Bible 1539
| 29:1 | These are the wordes of the appoyntment, which the Lorde commaunded Moses, to make wyth the chyldren of Israel in the lande of Moab, besyde the appoyntment which he made wyth them in Horeb, |
| 29:2 | and Moses called all Israel, and sayde vnto them: Ye haue sene all that the Lorde dyd before youre eyes in the lande of Egipt, vnto Pharao and vnto all hys seruauntes, and vnto all hys lande, |
| 29:3 | the greate temptacions which thyne eyes haue sene, those greate myracles and wonders: |
| 29:4 | and yet the Lorde hath not geuen you an herte to perceaue, and eyes to se, and eares to heare vnto thys daye. |
| 29:5 | And I haue led you .xl. yeare in the wyldernesse: and youre clothes are not waxed olde vpon you, and thy showe is not waxed olde vpon thy fote. |
| 29:6 | Ye haue eaten no bread, nor droncke wyne or stronge dryncke, that ye myghte knowe, howe that I am the Lord youre God. |
| 29:7 | And ye came vnto this place, & Sehon the kynge of Hesbon, and Og kynge of Basan came out agaynst vs vnto battell, and we smote them, |
| 29:8 | and toke theyr lande, & gaue it for an inheritaunce vnto the Rubenites & Gadites, and to the halfe trybe of Manasse. |
| 29:9 | kepe therfore the wordes of this appoyntment and do them, that ye maye vnderstande all that ye ought to do. |
| 29:10 | Ye stande thys daye euery one of you before the Lorde your God: youre captaynes, youre trybes, your elders, youre offycers, and all the men of Israel: |
| 29:11 | youre chyldren also, youre wyues & the straunger that is in thyne hoste from the hewer of thy wodd, vnto the drawer of thy water: |
| 29:12 | that thou shuldest go into the appoyntment of the Lord thy God, & into his othe which the Lord thy God maketh wyth the this daye. |
| 29:13 | For to make the a people vnto him selfe, and that he maye be vnto the a God, as he hath sayde vnto the, and as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers Abraham, Isahac and Iacob. |
| 29:14 | I make not thys bonde & this othe wyth you only: |
| 29:15 | but both wyth hym that standeth here wyth vs this daye before the Lord oure God, and also wyth hym that is not here with vs this daye. |
| 29:16 | For ye knowe, howe we haue dwelt in the lande of Egypte, and how we came thorowe the myddes of the nacions whych ye passed by. |
| 29:17 | And ye haue sene theyr abhominacyons and theyr ydolles: (wod & stone, syluer and golde) whych were amonge them. |
| 29:18 | Lest there be amonge you man or woman, kynred or trybe, whose hert turneth awaye this daye from the Lorde oure God, to go and serue the goddes of these nacyons: & lest there be amonge you some roote that beareth gall & worm wod, |
| 29:19 | so that when he heareth the wordes of thys ooth, he blesse hym selfe in hys hert, sayinge. I shall haue peace. I wyll walke in the meanynge of myne owne hert, (Thou put the dronken to the thyrstye.) |
| 29:20 | And so the Lorde wyll not consent to be mercyfull vnto hym, but then the wrath of the Lorde and hys gelousye shall smoke agaynst that man, & all the curses that are wryten in this boke shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shall do out hys name from vnder heauen, |
| 29:21 | and the Lorde shall separate him vnto euell out of all the tribes of Israel, accordyng vnto all the curses of the appoyntment, that are wrytten in the boke of thys lawe. |
| 29:22 | So that the generacyon to come of youre chyldren, that shall ryse vp after you, and the straunger that shall come from a farre lande shall saye, when they se the plages of that lande, and the diseases wherwith the Lorde hath smytten it, |
| 29:23 | howe all the lande is burnt vp with brymstone & salt, & that it is nether sowen nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therin, lyke as in the place of the ouerthrowynge of Sodome, Gomor, Adama, & Zeboim: whych the Lorde ouerthrewe in hys wrath and angre: |
| 29:24 | Euen then shall all nacions saye: wherfore hath the Lorde done of this facyon vnto thys lande? O howe fearse is thys great wrath? |
| 29:25 | And men shalt saye: because they lefte the testament of the Lorde God of theyr fathers whych he made with them, when he brought them out of the lande of Egypt. |
| 29:26 | For they went, and serued straunge goddes, & worshipped them: Goddes whych they knewe not, and whych had geuen them nought. |
| 29:27 | And the wrath of the Lorde waxed whote agaynst thys lande, to brynge vpon it all the curses that are written in this boke. |
| 29:28 | And the Lorde cast them out of theyr lande in angre, wrath, and greate indignacyon, and cast them into a straunge lande, as this daye beareth wytnesse. |
| 29:29 | The secrettes of the Lorde oure God are opened vnto vs, and to oure chyldren for euer, that we maye do all the wordes of thys lawe. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
