¹ Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

² And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

³ And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

⁴ And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

⁵ And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;

⁶ And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷ But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

⁸ Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

⁹ And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

¹⁰ For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

¹¹ But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

¹² A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

¹⁴ That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

¹⁵ And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

¹⁷ And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹ And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰ And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

²¹ That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

²² For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

²³ Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

²⁷ A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

²⁸ And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

²⁹ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

³⁰ Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

³¹ For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

³² And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

---

¹ Therefore thou shalt love ^H157 the LORD ^H3068 thy God, ^H430 and keep ^H8104 his charge, ^H4931 and his statutes, ^H2708 and his judgments, ^H4941 and his commandments, ^H4687 alway. ^H3117

² And know ^H3045 ye this day: ^H3117 for I speak not with your children ^H1121 which have not known, ^H3045 and which have not seen ^H7200 the chastisement ^H4148 of the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 his greatness, ^H1433 his mighty ^H2389 hand, ^H3027 and his stretched out ^H5186 arm, ^H2220

³ And his miracles, ^H226 and his acts, ^H4639 which he did ^H6213 in the midst ^H8432 of Egypt ^H4714 unto Pharaoh ^H6547 the king ^H4428 of Egypt, ^H4714 and unto all his land; ^H776

⁴ And what he did ^H6213 unto the army ^H2428 of Egypt, ^H4714 unto their horses, ^H5483 and to their chariots; ^H7393 how he made the water ^H4325 of the Red ^H5488 sea ^H3220 to overflow ^H6687 them ^H6440 as they pursued ^H7291 after ^H310 you, and how the LORD ^H3068 hath destroyed ^H6 them unto this day; ^H3117

⁵ And what he did ^H6213 unto you in the wilderness, ^H4057 until ye came ^H935 into this place; ^H4725

⁶ And what he did ^H6213 unto Dathan ^H1885 and Abiram, ^H48 the sons ^H1121 of Eliab, ^H446 the son ^H1121 of Reuben: ^H7205 how the earth ^H776 opened ^H6475 her mouth, ^H6310 and swallowed them up, ^H1104 and their households, ^H1004 and their tents, ^H168 and all the substance ^H3351 that was in their possession, ^H7272 in the midst ^H7130 of all Israel: ^H3478

⁷ But your eyes ^H5869 have seen ^H7200 all the great ^H1419 acts ^H4639 of the LORD ^H3068 which he did. ^H6213

⁸ Therefore shall ye keep ^H8104 all the commandments ^H4687 which ^H834 I command ^H6680 you this day, ^H3117 that ye may be strong, ^H2388 and go in ^H935 and possess ^H3423 the land, ^H776 whither ye go ^H5674 to possess ^H3423 it;

⁹ And that ye may prolong ^H748 your days ^H3117 in the land, ^H127 which the LORD ^H3068 sware ^H7650 unto your fathers ^H1 to give ^H5414 unto them and to their seed, ^H2233 a land ^H776 that floweth ^H2100 with milk ^H2461 and honey. ^H1706

¹⁰ For the land, ^H776 whither thou goest in ^H935 to possess ^H3423 it, is not as the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 from whence ye came out, ^H3318 where thou sowedst ^H2232 thy seed, ^H2233 and wateredst ^H8248 it with thy foot, ^H7272 as a garden ^H1588 of herbs: ^H3419

¹¹ But the land, ^H776 whither ye go ^H5674 to possess ^H3423 it, is a land ^H776 of hills ^H2022 and valleys, ^H1237 and drinketh ^H8354 water ^H4325 of the rain ^H4306 of heaven: ^H8064

¹² A land ^H776 which the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 careth for: ^H1875 the eyes ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 are always ^H8548 upon it, from the beginning ^H7225 of the year ^H8141 even unto the end ^H319 of the year. ^H8141

¹³ And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken ^H8085 diligently ^H8085 unto my commandments ^H4687 which I command ^H6680 you this day, ^H3117 to love ^H157 the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 and to serve ^H5647 him with all your heart ^H3824 and with all your soul, ^H5315

¹⁴ That I will give ^H5414 you the rain ^H4306 of your land ^H776 in his due season, ^H6256 the first rain ^H3138 and the latter rain, ^H4456 that thou mayest gather ^H622 in thy corn, ^H1715 and thy wine, ^H8492 and thine oil. ^H3323

¹⁵ And I will send ^H5414 grass ^H6212 in thy fields ^H7704 for thy cattle, ^H929 that thou mayest eat ^H398 and be full. ^H7646

¹⁶ Take heed ^H8104 to yourselves, that your heart ^H3824 be not deceived, ^H6601 and ye turn aside, ^H5493 and serve ^H5647 other ^H312 gods, ^H430 and worship ^H7812 them;

¹⁷ And then the LORD'S ^H3068 wrath ^H639 be kindled ^H2734 against you, and he shut up ^H6113 the heaven, ^H8064 that there be no rain, ^H4306 and that the land ^H127 yield ^H5414 not her fruit; ^H2981 and lest ye perish ^H6 quickly ^H4120 from off the good ^H2896 land ^H776 which the LORD ^H3068 giveth ^H5414 you.

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay up ^H7760 these my words ^H1697 in your heart ^H3824 and in your soul, ^H5315 and bind ^H7194 them for a sign ^H226 upon your hand, ^H3027 that they may be as frontlets ^H2903 between your eyes. ^H5869

¹⁹ And ye shall teach ^H3925 them your children, ^H1121 speaking ^H1696 of them when thou sittest ^H3427 in thine house, ^H1004 and when thou walkest ^H3212 by the way, ^H1870 when thou liest ^H7901 down, and when thou risest up. ^H6965

²⁰ And thou shalt write ^H3789 them upon the door posts ^H4201 of thine house, ^H1004 and upon thy gates: ^H8179

²¹ That your days ^H3117 may be multiplied, ^H7235 and the days ^H3117 of your children, ^H1121 in the land ^H127 which the LORD ^H3068 sware ^H7650 unto your fathers ^H1 to give ^H5414 them, as the days ^H3117 of heaven ^H8064 upon the earth. ^H776

²² For if ye shall diligently ^H8104 keep ^H8104 all these commandments ^H4687 which I command ^H6680 you, to do ^H6213 them, to love ^H157 the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 to walk ^H3212 in all his ways, ^H1870 and to cleave ^H1692 unto him;

²³ Then will the LORD ^H3068 drive out ^H3423 all these nations ^H1471 from before ^H6440 you, and ye shall possess ^H3423 greater ^H1419 nations ^H1471 and mightier ^H6099 than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place ^H4725 whereon the soles ^H3709 of your feet ^H7272 shall tread ^H1869 shall be yours: from the wilderness ^H4057 and Lebanon, ^H3844 from the river, ^H5104 the river ^H5104 Euphrates, ^H6578 even unto the uttermost ^H314 sea ^H3220 shall your coast ^H1366 be.

²⁵ There shall no man ^H376 be able to stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 you: for the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 shall lay ^H5414 the fear ^H6343 of you and the dread ^H4172 of you upon ^H6440 all the land ^H776 that ye shall tread ^H1869 upon, as he hath said ^H1696 unto you.

²⁶ Behold, ^H7200 I set ^H5414 before ^H6440 you this day ^H3117 a blessing ^H1293 and a curse; ^H7045

²⁷ A blessing, ^H1293 if ye obey ^H8085 the commandments ^H4687 of the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 which I command ^H6680 you this day: ^H3117

²⁸ And a curse, ^H7045 if ye will not obey ^H8085 the commandments ^H4687 of the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 but turn aside ^H5493 out of the way ^H1870 which I command ^H6680 you this day, ^H3117 to go ^H3212 after ^H310 other ^H312 gods, ^H430 which ye have not known. ^H3045

²⁹ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 hath brought thee in ^H935 unto the land ^H776 whither thou goest ^H935 to possess ^H3423 it, that thou shalt put ^H5414 the blessing ^H1293 upon mount ^H2022 Gerizim, ^H1630 and the curse ^H7045 upon mount ^H2022 Ebal. ^H5858

³⁰ Are they not on the other side ^H5676 Jordan, ^H3383 by ^H310 the way ^H1870 where the sun ^H8121 goeth down, ^H3996 in the land ^H776 of the Canaanites, ^H3669 which dwell ^H3427 in the champaign ^H6160 over against ^H4136 Gilgal, ^H1537 beside ^H681 the plains ^H436 of Moreh? ^H4176

³¹ For ye shall pass over ^H5674 Jordan ^H3383 to go in ^H935 to possess ^H3423 the land ^H776 which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 giveth ^H5414 you, and ye shall possess ^H3423 it, and dwell ^H3427 therein.

³² And ye shall observe ^H8104 to do ^H6213 all the statutes ^H2706 and judgments ^H4941 which I set ^H5414 before ^H6440 you this day. ^H3117

---

¹ Therefore thou shalt love Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, alway.

² And know ye this day: for `I speak' not with your children that have not known, and that have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

³ and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

⁴ and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Jehovah hath destroyed them unto this day;

⁵ and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;

⁶ and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷ but your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he did.

⁸ Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it;

⁹ and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;

¹¹ but the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, `and' drinketh water of the rain of heaven,

¹² a land which Jehovah thy God careth for: the eyes of Jehovah thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

¹⁴ that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy new wine, and thine oil.

¹⁵ And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

¹⁷ and the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah giveth you.

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹ And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰ And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;

²¹ that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

²² For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

²³ then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border.

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

²⁸ and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

²⁹ And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

³⁰ Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

³¹ For ye are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

³² And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.

---

¹ `And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;

² and ye have known to-day -- for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,

³ and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;

⁴ and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;

⁵ and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;

⁶ and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷ `-- But `it is' your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;

⁸ and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,

⁹ and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed -- a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ `For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;

¹¹ but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, `is' a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;

¹² a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually `are' the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.

¹³ `And it hath been -- if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul --

¹⁴ that I have given the rain of your land in its season -- sprinkling and gathered -- and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,

¹⁵ and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.

¹⁶ `Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,

¹⁷ and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.

¹⁸ `And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;

¹⁹ and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

²⁰ and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,

²¹ so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.

²² `For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you -- to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,

²³ then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;

²⁴ every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;

²⁵ no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.

²⁶ `See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:

²⁷ the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;

²⁸ and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.

²⁹ `And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;

³⁰ are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?

³¹ for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,

³² and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.

---

¹ Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.

² And know ye this day ...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,

³ and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

⁴ and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;

⁵ -- and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;

⁶ and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, -- how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel.

⁷ For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.

⁸ Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;

⁹ and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;

¹¹ but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,

¹² a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

¹⁴ that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;

¹⁵ and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,

¹⁷ and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.

¹⁸ And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹ And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;

²⁰ and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;

²¹ that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.

²² For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

²³ then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.

²⁵ No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

²⁶ See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

²⁸ and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.

²⁹ And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

³⁰ Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

³¹ For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.

³² And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.

---

¹ Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.

² Know you this day: for I don't speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

³ and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;

⁴ and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to this day;

⁵ and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;

⁶ and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷ but your eyes have seen all the great work of Yahweh which he did.

⁸ Therefore shall you keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;

⁹ and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, from whence you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;

¹¹ but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinks water of the rain of the sky,

¹² a land which Yahweh your God cares for: the eyes of Yahweh your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

¹³ It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

¹⁴ that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.

¹⁵ I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

¹⁷ and the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you.

¹⁸ Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

¹⁹ You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

²⁰ You shall write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates;

²¹ that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

²² For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave to him;

²³ then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border.

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: Yahweh your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.

²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day;

²⁸ and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

²⁹ It shall happen, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.

³⁰ Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

³¹ For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell therein.

³² You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.

---

¹ So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.

² And be certain in your minds this day; for these words are not said to your children, who have had no experience of the training of the Lord your God, and who have not seen his great power or his strong hand and his stretched-out arm,

³ Or his signs and wonders which he did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his land;

⁴ And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their war-carriages; how he made the waters of the Red Sea come up over them when they went after you, and how the Lord put an end to them even to this day;

⁵ And what he did for you in the waste land, till you came to this place;

⁶ And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

⁷ But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.

⁸ So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

⁹ And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

¹¹ But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

¹² A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

¹³ And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

¹⁴ Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.

¹⁵ And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.

¹⁶ But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

¹⁷ For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

¹⁸ So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;

¹⁹ Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

²⁰ Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:

²¹ So that your days, and the days of your children, may be long in the land which the Lord by his oath to your fathers said he would give them, like the days of the eternal heavens.

²² For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:

²³ Then the Lord will send these nations in flight before you, and you will take the lands of nations greater and stronger than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.

²⁵ All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.

²⁶ Today I put before you a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day:

²⁸ And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.

²⁹ And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

³⁰ Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?

³¹ For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.

³² And you are to take care to keep all the laws and the decisions which I put before you today.
