Deuteronomy 11:1-15 ▼

1 And you shall love YHWH your God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His commandments, all the days.

2 And know today that it is not your? children who have known, and who have seen the discipline of YHWH your? God, His greatness, and His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm,

3 and His signs and His acts that He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land,

4 and what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and their chariots—how the waters of the Red Sea He caused to flow upon them as they pursued you?, and how YHWH has destroyed them to this day,

5 and what He did for you? in the wilderness until you? came to 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, and their houses and their tents and every living thing that was was at their feet, in the midst of all Israel.

7 But your? eyes have seen every great act of YHWH that He did.

8 And you? shall keep every commandment that I command you today, that you? may be strong and go in and possess the land, which you? are passing over to possess it,

9 and so that you? may prolong your days in the land that YHWH swore to your? fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 For the land that you are going in to possess, it is not like the land of Egypt, where you? have come from, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot as for a garden of herbs.

11 And the land that you? are passing over to possess is a land of hills and valleys—from the rain of the heavens it drinks water—

12 a land for which YHWH your God cares; the eyes of YHWH your God are always on it from the beginning of the year and to the very end of the year.

13 And it shall come to pass, if you? listen carefully to My commandments that I am commanding you? today, to love YHWH your? God, and to serve Him with all your? heart and with all your? soul,

14 then I will give the rain for your? land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.

15 and I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be satisfied.
