Deuteronomy  


11 : 1 You shall therefore love theLordyour God andkeep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.
11 : 2 And consider today (since I am not speaking toyour children who have not known or seen it), consider the disciplineof theLordyour God,his greatness,his mighty hand and his outstretched arm,
11 : 3 his signs and his deeds that he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land,
11 : 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 flow over them as they pursued after you, and how theLordhas destroyed them to this day,
11 : 5 andwhat he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place,
11 : 6 andwhat he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.
11 : 7 For your eyes have seenall the great work of theLordthat he did.
11 : 8 You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you maybe strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess,
11 : 9 andthat you may live long in the landthat theLordswore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring,a land flowing with milk and honey.
11 : 10 For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it,like a garden of vegetables.
11 : 11 But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,
11 : 12 a land that theLordyour God cares for.The eyes of theLordyour God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
11 : 13 And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today,to love theLordyour God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
11 : 14 hewill give the rain for your land in its season,the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.
11 : 15 And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, andyou shall eat and be full.
11 : 16 Take carelest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside andserve other gods and worship them;
11 : 17 thenthe anger of theLordwill be kindled against you, and hewill shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, andyou will perish quickly off the good land that theLordis giving you.
11 : 18 You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, andyou shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
11 : 19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
11 : 20 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
11 : 21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that theLordswore to your fathers to give them,as long as the heavens are above the earth.
11 : 22 For ifyou will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving theLordyour God, walking in all his ways, andholding fast to him,
11 : 23 then theLordwill drive out all these nations before you, and you willdispossess nations greater and mightier than you.
11 : 24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall befrom the wilderness tothe Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.
11 : 25 No one shall be able to stand against you. TheLordyour God will laythe fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread,as he promised you.
11 : 26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
11 : 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of theLordyour God, which I command you today,
11 : 28 andthe curse, if you do not obey the commandments of theLordyour God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today,to go after other gods that you have not known.
11 : 29 And when theLordyour God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall setthe blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
11 : 30 Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in theArabah, opposite Gilgal, besidethe oakof Moreh?
11 : 31 For you areto cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that theLordyour God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it,
11 : 32 you shall be carefulto do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.
