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[H6440] 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[H5674]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[H3068]'S 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[H6440], as he hath said[H1696] unto you.
26Behold[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].
