Deuteronomy 11:10-32
10For the landH776, into whichH834 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it, is not like the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from whichH834 you cameH3318, whereH834 you used to sowH2232 your seedH2233 and waterH8248 it 1by your footH7272 like a vegetableH3419 gardenH1588. 11But 2the landH776 into whichH834 you are about to crossH5674 to possessH3423 it, a landH776 of hillsH2022 and valleysH1237, drinksH8354 waterH4325 from the rainH4306 of heavenH8064, 12a landH776 for whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 caresH1875; 3the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 are continuallyH8548 on it, from the 4beginningH7225 even to the endH319 of the yearH8141.
13“And it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, 5ifH518 you listenH8085 obedientlyH8085 to my commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, 6to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430 and to serveH5647 Him 7with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315, 14that 89He will provideH5414 rainH4306 for your landH776 in its seasonH6256, the 1011earlyH3138 and 12lateH4456 rainH3138H4456, so that you may gatherH622 your grainH1715, your newH8492 wineH8492, and your oilH3323. 151314He will also provideH5414 grassH6212 in your fieldH7704 for your cattleH929, and 15you will eatH398 and beH7646 satisfiedH7646. 161617BewareH8104 that your heartsH3824 are not easilyH6601 deceivedH6601, and that you do not turnH5493 awayH5493 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH2331 them. 17Otherwise, 18the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 19shutH6113 upH6113 the skyH8064 20so that there will be noH3808 rainH4306, and the groundH127 will not yieldH5414 its produceH2981; then 21you will quicklyH4120 perishH6 from the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 is givingH5414 you.
18“22You shall therefore takeH7760 theseH428 wordsH1697 of mine to 23heartH3824 and to soulH5315; and you shall tieH7194 them as a signH226 on your 24handH3027, and they shall be as 25frontletsH2903 26on your foreheadH996H5869. 1927You shall also teachH3925 them to your sonsH1121, speakingH1696 of them when you sitH3427 in your houseH1004, when you walkH1980 along the roadH1870, when you lieH7901 downH7901, and when you getH6965 upH6965. 2028And you shall writeH3789 them on the doorpostsH4201 of your houseH1004 and on your gatesH8179, 21soH4616 thatH4616 29your daysH3117 and the daysH3117 of your sonsH1121 may be increasedH7235 on the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, as 3031longH3117 as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776. 22For ifH518 you areH8104 32carefulH8104 to keepH8104 allH3605 of thisH2088 commandmentH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you to doH6213, 33to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and 34clingH1692 to Him, 23then the LordH3068 will 3536dispossessH3423 allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 from you, and you will 3738dispossessH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you. 2439EveryH3605 placeH4725 on whichH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 stepsH1869 shall be yours; 40your borderH1366 will be from the wildernessH4057 to LebanonH3844, and from the riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, as farH5704 as 41the westernH314 seaH3220. 2542NoH3808 oneH376 will be able to standH3320 againstH6440 you; the LordH3068 your GodH430 will 43instillH5414 the dreadH6343 of you and the fearH4172 of you in allH3605 the landH776 on whichH834 you setH1869 footH1869, justH3512 asH3512 He has spokenH1696 to you.
26“44SeeH7200, I am placingH5414 beforeH6440 you todayH3117 a blessingH1293 and a curseH7045: 27the 45blessingH1293, ifH834 you listenH8085 to the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117; 28and the 46curseH7045, ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, but turnH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, 47by followingH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 whichH834 you have not knownH3045.
29“And it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it, 48that you shall placeH5414 the blessingH1293 on MountH2022 GerizimH1630 and the curseH7045 on MountH2022 EbalH5858. 30Are they not acrossH5676 the JordanH3383, westH310 of the roadH1870 toward the sunsetH8121H3996, in the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669 who liveH3427 in the ArabahH6160, oppositeH4136 49GilgalH1537, besideH681 50the 51oaksH436 of MorehH4176? 31For you are about to crossH5674 the JordanH3383 to goH935 inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, and 52you shall possessH3423 it and liveH3427 in it, 32and you shall beH8104 carefulH8104 to doH6213 allH3605 the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 I am placingH5414 beforeH6440 you todayH3117.
