this_o five_o book_n run_v over_o and_o repeat_v the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o old_a story_n before_o record_v the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o that_o old_a generation_n of_o israel_n who_o

in_o a_o long_a pilgrimage_n through_o the_o wilderness_n he_o may_v prepare_v they_o for_o their_o possession_n of_o the_o promise_a land_n therefore_o he_o public_o preach_v these_o two_o last_o
