1 “You shall therefore love the LORD your God and keep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always. Love the LORD, your God, therefore, and keep his charge, statutes, ordinances, and commandments always. Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.
2 And consider today (since I am not speaking to your children who have not known or seen it), consider the discipline of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand and his outstretched arm, Recall today that it was not your children, who have neither known nor seen the discipline of the LORD, your God—his greatness, his strong hand and outstretched arm; Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
3 his signs and his deeds that he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land, the signs and deeds he wrought in the midst of Egypt, on Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and on all his land; the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country;
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 the LORD has destroyed them to this day, what he did to the Egyptian army and to their horses and chariots, engulfing them in the waters of the Red Sea as they pursued you, so that the LORD destroyed them even to this day; what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the LORD brought lasting ruin on them.
5 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place, what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place; It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place,
6 and what 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. and what he did to the Reubenites Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up out of the midst of Israel, with their families and tents and every living thing that belonged to them— and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD that he did. but it was you who saw with your own eyes all these great deeds that the LORD has done. But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the LORD has done.
8 “You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess, So keep all the commandments I give you today, that you may be strong enough to enter in and take possession of the land that you are crossing over to possess, Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
9 and that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey. and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors he would give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey. and so that you may live long in the land the LORD swore to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
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. The land you are to enter and possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you would sow your seed and then water it by hand, as in a vegetable garden. The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden.
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, No, the land into which you are crossing to take possession is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in rain from the heavens, But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.
12 a land that the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. a land which the LORD, your God, looks after; the eyes of the LORD, your God, are upon it continually through the year, from beginning to end. It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
13 “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, If, then, you truly listen to my commandments which I give you today, loving and serving the LORD, your God, with your whole heart and your whole being, So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul—
14 he will 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. I will give the seasonal rain to your land, the early rain and the late rain, that you may have your grain, wine and oil to gather in; then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.
15 And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. and I will bring forth grass in your fields for your animals. Thus you may eat and be satisfied. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16 Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them; But be careful lest your heart be so lured away that you serve other gods and bow down to them. Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
17 then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and you will perish quickly off the good land that the LORD is giving you. For then the anger of the LORD will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. Then the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you.
18 “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them on your arm as a sign, and let them be as a pendant on your forehead. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
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. Teach them to your children, speaking of them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up, Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, and write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates, Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,
21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. so that, as long as the heavens are above the earth, you and your children may live on in the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors he would give them. so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
22 For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the LORD your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him, For if you are careful to observe this entire commandment I am giving you, loving the LORD, your God, following his ways exactly, and holding fast to him, If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him—
23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. the LORD will dispossess all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea. Every place where you set foot shall be yours: from the wilderness and the Lebanon, from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea, shall be your territory. Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25 No one shall be able to stand against you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you. None shall stand up against you; the LORD, your God, will spread the fear and dread of you through any land where you set foot, as he promised you. No one will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
26 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse—
27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, a blessing for obeying the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I give you today; the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;
28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known. a curse if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, but turn aside from the way I command you today, to go after other gods, whom you do not know. the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
29 And when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which you are to enter and possess, then on Mount Gerizim you shall pronounce the blessing, on Mount Ebal, the curse. When the LORD your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses.
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 the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oak of Moreh? (These are beyond the Jordan, on the other side of the western road in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal beside the oak of Moreh.) As you know, these mountains are across the Jordan, westward, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh, in the territory of those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal.
31 For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it, Now you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you. When, therefore, you take possession of it and settle there, You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you have taken it over and are living there,
32 you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today. be careful to observe all the statutes and ordinances that I set before you today. be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today.
