'Words' in the Bible

These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel across the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.

“Then the Lord heard the sound of your words, and He was angry and took an oath, saying,

“So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’

Then the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form—only a voice.

Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.

“These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick gloom, with a great voice, and He added no more. He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

“The Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.

The Lord gave me the two tablets of stone written by the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.

I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.’

“You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.

“Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

It shall be with him and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, by carefully observing all the words of this law and these statutes,

I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.

It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.

and write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over, so that you may enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, promised you.

You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very distinctly.”

‘Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

“If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, the Lord your God,

These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them at Horeb.

So keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will boast, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the watered land with the dry.’

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.

So Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear the Lord your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law.

It came about, when Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were complete,

Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them.

Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were complete:

“Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak;And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun.

When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

he said to them, “Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law.

“Indeed, He loves the people;All Your holy ones are in Your hand,And they followed in Your steps;Everyone receives of Your words.
