1Love LORD JEHOVAH your God and keep his charge and his laws and his judgments and his commandments for all days. 2And you shall know today that it was not for your children who did not know and did not see the course of LORD JEHOVAH your God and his greatness and his mighty hand and his exalted arm, 3And his signs and his works that He did in Egypt to Pharaoh the King of Egypt and to all his land; 4And what He did to the army of Egypt, to the horses and to the chariots and to their riders when the waters of the Sea of Reeds overwhelmed their persons, when they chased after you and LORD JEHOVAH destroyed them until today; 5And all that He did for you in the wilderness until you had come to this region; 6And the thing that He did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Rubil, when the Earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, them and their children and their tents and everything that they had, who were standing on their feet among all Israel: 7But it is your eyes seeing all the great works of LORD JEHOVAH that He did.

8Keep all of the commandments that I command you today that you will be strong and enter and inherit the land to which you are crossing over to inherit it; 9And you shall multiply days in the land that LORD JEHOVAH swore to your forefathers to give them and to their seed, the land that flows with milk and honey. 10Because the land that you enter to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you came out, where you sowed your seed and you watered with your feet as a garden of irrigation: 11But the land through which you pass to inherit is a land of mountains and of plains, and drinks water from the rain of Heaven: 12The land which LORD JEHOVAH your God shall examine constantly; the eyes of LORD JEHOVAH your God are in it from the first of the year and unto the end of the year.

13And if you will hear the order that I order you today and you shall love LORD JEHOVAH your God and you shall work for him from all your heart and from all your soul: 14I shall give the rain of your land in its time, early and late, and you shall gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. 15And I shall give grass in your field to your livestock and you will eat and you will be satisfied. 16Beware lest your heart will be enticed and you will turn away and you will serve other gods and you will worship them; 17And the wrath of LORD JEHOVAH will be kindled upon you and he will shut up Heaven that there shall be no rain and the land will not give its harvests and you will be destroyed quickly from the good land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you.

18And you shall put these commandments in your heart and in your soul and bind them as signs on your hands and they shall be a sign between your eyes. 19And teach them to your children, that they speak of them when you are sitting in your house and when you are going in the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. 20And write them on the doorposts of your houses and upon your doors: 21That your days will multiply and the days of your children in the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God swore to your parents to give them, as the days of Heaven on Earth. 22And if you keep all of these commandments that I command you today, and you will do them, and you will love LORD JEHOVAH your God, and you will walk in all his ways and you will cleave to him; 23LORD JEHOVAH will destroy all of these nations from before you and you will inherit nations that are greater and mightier than you. 24Every place in which the sole of your foot will tread shall be yours, from the wilderness and Lebanon and from the river, the river Euphrates, and unto to the Last Sea—the Mediterranean shall be your border. 25And no man shall stand before you and LORD JEHOVAH your God will put fear of you and trembling before you on the face of all the land on which you will tread, as LORD JEHOVAH said to you.

26See that I put before you today a blessing and a curse; 27Blessing, if you will hear the commandments of LORD JEHOVAH your God that I command to you today: 28And a curse if you will not hear the commandments of LORD JEHOVAH your God and if you turn away from the way that I command you today, and you go after other gods that you do not know.

29And when LORD JEHOVAH your God will bring you to the land which you enter there to inherit, give blessings on the mountain of Garzim and curses on the mountain of Gabel. 30Behold, those are at the crossing of Jordan behind the way at the setting of the sun in the land of the Canaanites dwelling in the desert against Galgala and against the House of the Oak of Mamra. 31Because you cross the Jordan to enter to inherit the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you and you shall possess it and you shall dwell in it. 32And you shall keep and you shall do all of the laws and judgments that I put before you today.
