18 Fix these words of mine in your⁺ hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your⁺ hands and bind them on your⁺ foreheads. 19 Teach them to your⁺ children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your⁺ days and those of your⁺ children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD {YHWH} swore to give your⁺ fathers. 22 For if you⁺ carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you⁺ to follow—to love the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him— 23 then the LORD {YHWH} will drive out all these nations before you⁺, and you⁺ will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you⁺. 24 Every place where the sole of your⁺ foot treads will be yours⁺. Your⁺ territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon (whiteness), and from the Euphrates (fruitfulness) River to the Western Sea (the Mediterranean Sea). 25 No man will be able to stand against you⁺; the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} will put the fear and dread of you⁺ upon all the land, wherever you⁺ set foot, as He has promised you⁺. 26 See, today I am setting before you⁺ a blessing and a curse— 27 a blessing if you⁺ obey the commandments of the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} that I am giving you⁺ today, 28 but a curse if you⁺ disobey the commandments of the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} and turn aside from the path I command you⁺ today by following other gods, which you⁺ have not known. 29 When the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka} brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim (cuttings off) and the curse on Mount Ebal (stone). 30 Are not these mountains across the Jordan (flowing down), west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites (merchants) who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal (a wheel) near the Oak [Oaks] of Moreh (teacher)? 31 For you⁺ are about to cross the Jordan (flowing down) to enter and possess the land that the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} is giving you⁺. When you⁺ take possession of it and settle in it, 32 be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you⁺ today. Deuteronomy 11:18-32, Berean Annotated Bible.
