1Therefore thou shalt love <0157> (8804) the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_, and keep <08104> (8804) his charge <04931>_, and his statutes <02708>_, and his judgments <04941>_, and his commandments <04687>_, alway <03117>_.
2And know <03045> (8804) ye this day <03117>_: for [I speak] not with your children <01121> which have not known <03045> (8804)_, and which have not seen <07200> (8804) the chastisement <04148> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>_, his greatness <01433>_, his mighty <02389> hand <03027>_, and his stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <02220>_,
3And his miracles <0226>_, and his acts <04639>_, which he did <06213> (8804) in the midst <08432> of Egypt <04714> unto Pharaoh <06547> the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>_, and unto all his land <0776>_;
4And what he did <06213> (8804) unto the army <02428> of Egypt <04714>_, unto their horses <05483>_, and to their chariots <07393>_; how he made the water <04325> of the Red <05488> sea <03220> to overflow <06687> (8689) them <06440> as they pursued <07291> (8800) after <0310> you, and [how] the LORD <03068> hath destroyed <06> (8762) them unto this day <03117>_;
5And what he did <06213> (8804) unto you in the wilderness <04057>_, until ye came <0935> (8800) into this place <04725>_;
6And what he did <06213> (8804) unto Dathan <01885> and Abiram <048>_, the sons <01121> of Eliab <0446>_, the son <01121> of Reuben <07205>_: how the earth <0776> opened <06475> (8804) her mouth <06310>_, and swallowed them up <01104> (8799)_, and their households <01004>_, and their tents <0168>_, and all the substance <03351> that [was] in their possession <07272>_, in the midst <07130> of all Israel <03478>_: {substance...: or, living substance which followed them} {was...: Heb. was at their feet}
7But your eyes <05869> have seen <07200> (8802) all the great <01419> acts <04639> of the LORD <03068> which he did <06213> (8804)_.
8Therefore shall ye keep <08104> (8804) all the commandments <04687> which <0834> I command <06680> (8764) you this day <03117>_, that ye may be strong <02388> (8799)_, and go in <0935> (8804) and possess <03423> (8804) the land <0776>_, whither ye go <05674> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it;
9And that ye may prolong <0748> (8686) [your] days <03117> in the land <0127>_, which the LORD <03068> sware <07650> (8738) unto your fathers <01> to give <05414> (8800) unto them and to their seed <02233>_, a land <0776> that floweth <02100> (8802) with milk <02461> and honey <01706>_.
10For the land <0776>_, whither thou goest in <0935> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it, [is] not as the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>_, from whence ye came out <03318> (8804)_, where thou sowedst <02232> (8799) thy seed <02233>_, and wateredst <08248> (8689) [it] with thy foot <07272>_, as a garden <01588> of herbs <03419>_:
11But the land <0776>_, whither ye go <05674> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it, [is] a land <0776> of hills <02022> and valleys <01237>_, [and] drinketh <08354> (8799) water <04325> of the rain <04306> of heaven <08064>_:
12A land <0776> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> careth for <01875> (8802)_: the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> [are] always <08548> upon it, from the beginning <07225> of the year <08141> even unto the end <0319> of the year <08141>_. {careth...: Heb. seeketh}
13And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken <08085> (8799) diligently <08085> (8800) unto my commandments <04687> which I command <06680> (8764) you this day <03117>_, to love <0157> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>_, and to serve <05647> (8800) him with all your heart <03824> and with all your soul <05315>_,
14That I will give <05414> (8804) [you] the rain <04306> of your land <0776> in his due season <06256>_, the first rain <03138> and the latter rain <04456>_, that thou mayest gather <0622> (8804) in thy corn <01715>_, and thy wine <08492>_, and thine oil <03323>_.
15And I will send <05414> (8804) grass <06212> in thy fields <07704> for thy cattle <0929>_, that thou mayest eat <0398> (8804) and be full <07646> (8804)_. {send: Heb. give}
16Take heed <08104> (8734) to yourselves, that your heart <03824> be not deceived <06601> (8799)_, and ye turn aside <05493> (8804)_, and serve <05647> (8804) other <0312> gods <0430>_, and worship <07812> (8694) them;
17And [then] the LORD'S <03068> wrath <0639> be kindled <02734> (8804) against you, and he shut up <06113> (8804) the heaven <08064>_, that there be no rain <04306>_, and that the land <0127> yield <05414> (8799) not her fruit <02981>_; and [lest] ye perish <06> (8804) quickly <04120> from off the good <02896> land <0776> which the LORD <03068> giveth <05414> (8802) you.
18Therefore shall ye lay up <07760> (8804) these my words <01697> in your heart <03824> and in your soul <05315>_, and bind <07194> (8804) them for a sign <0226> upon your hand <03027>_, that they may be as frontlets <02903> between your eyes <05869>_.
19And ye shall teach <03925> (8765) them your children <01121>_, speaking <01696> (8763) of them when thou sittest <03427> (8800) in thine house <01004>_, and when thou walkest <03212> (8800) by the way <01870>_, when thou liest <07901> (8800) down, and when thou risest up <06965> (8800)_.
20And thou shalt write <03789> (8804) them upon the door posts <04201> of thine house <01004>_, and upon thy gates <08179>_:
21That your days <03117> may be multiplied <07235> (8799)_, and the days <03117> of your children <01121>_, in the land <0127> which the LORD <03068> sware <07650> (8738) unto your fathers <01> to give <05414> (8800) them, as the days <03117> of heaven <08064> upon the earth <0776>_.
22For if ye shall diligently <08104> (8800) keep <08104> (8799) all these commandments <04687> which I command <06680> (8764) you, to do <06213> (8800) them, to love <0157> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>_, to walk <03212> (8800) in all his ways <01870>_, and to cleave <01692> (8800) unto him;
23Then will the LORD <03068> drive out <03423> (8689) all these nations <01471> from before <06440> you, and ye shall possess <03423> (8804) greater <01419> nations <01471> and mightier <06099> than yourselves.
24Every place <04725> whereon the soles <03709> of your feet <07272> shall tread <01869> (8799) shall be yours: from the wilderness <04057> and Lebanon <03844>_, from the river <05104>_, the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>_, even unto the uttermost <0314> sea <03220> shall your coast <01366> be.
25There shall no man <0376> be able to stand <03320> (8691) before <06440> you: [for] the LORD <03068> your God <0430> shall lay <05414> (8799) the fear <06343> of you and the dread <04172> of you upon <06440> all the land <0776> that ye shall tread <01869> (8799) upon, as he hath said <01696> (8765) unto you.
26Behold <07200> (8798)_, I set <05414> (8802) before <06440> you this day <03117> a blessing <01293> and a curse <07045>_;
27A blessing <01293>_, if ye obey <08085> (8799) the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>_, which I command <06680> (8764) you this day <03117>_:
28And a curse <07045>_, if ye will not obey <08085> (8799) the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>_, but turn aside <05493> (8804) out of the way <01870> which I command <06680> (8764) you this day <03117>_, to go <03212> (8800) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>_, which ye have not known <03045> (8804)_.
29And it shall come to pass, when the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath brought thee in <0935> (8686) unto the land <0776> whither thou goest <0935> (8802) to possess <03423> (8800) it, that thou shalt put <05414> (8804) the blessing <01293> upon mount <02022> Gerizim <01630>_, and the curse <07045> upon mount <02022> Ebal <05858>_.
30[Are] they not on the other side <05676> Jordan <03383>_, by <0310> the way <01870> where the sun <08121> goeth down <03996>_, in the land <0776> of the Canaanites <03669>_, which dwell <03427> (8802) in the champaign <06160> over against <04136> Gilgal <01537>_, beside <0681> the plains <0436> of Moreh <04176>_?
31For ye shall pass over <05674> (8802) Jordan <03383> to go in <0935> (8800) to possess <03423> (8800) the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) you, and ye shall possess <03423> (8804) it, and dwell <03427> (8804) therein.
32And ye shall observe <08104> (8804) to do <06213> (8800) all the statutes <02706> and judgments <04941> which I set <05414> (8802) before <06440> you this day <03117>_.
