^[1] Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always. ^[2] Know this day—for I don’t speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm, ^[3] his signs, and his works, which he did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land; ^[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 to overflow them as they pursued you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to this day; ^[5] and what he did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place; ^[6] and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the 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 middle of all Israel; ^[7] but your eyes have seen all of Yahweh’s great work which he did. ^[8] Therefore you shall keep the entire commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land that you go over to possess; ^[9] and that you may prolong your days in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey. ^[10] For the land, where you go in to possess isn’t like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs; ^[11] but the land that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky, ^[12] a land which Yahweh your God cares for. Yahweh your God’s eyes are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. ^[13] It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, ^[14] that 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, your new wine, and your oil. ^[15] I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. ^[16] Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them; ^[17] and Yahweh’s anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land doesn’t yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you. ^[18] Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. ^[19] You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ^[20] You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates; ^[21] that your days and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. ^[22] For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you—to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him— ^[23] then Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. ^[24] Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border. ^[25] No man will be able to stand before you. Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you tread on, as he has spoken to you. ^[26] Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: ^[27] the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you today; ^[28] and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn away out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known. ^[29] It shall happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. ^[30] Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? ^[31] For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it. ^[32] You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you today.

^[1] Therefore thou shalt loveH157(QalPerf) the LordH3068 thy God,H430 and keepH8104(QalPerf) his charge,H4931 and his statutes,H2708 and his judgments,H4941 and his commandments,H4687 alway.H3117 ^[2] And knowH3045(QalPerf) ye this day:H3117 for [I speak] not with your childrenH1121 which have not known,H3045(QalPerf) and which have not seenH7200(QalPerf) the chastisementH4148 of the LordH3068 your God,H430 his greatness,H1433 his mightyH2389 hand,H3027 and his stretched outH5186(QalPasPtc) arm,H2220 ^[3] And his miracles,H226 and his acts,H4639 which he didH6213(QalPerf) in the midstH8432 of EgyptH4714 unto PharaohH6547 the kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 and unto all his land;H776 ^[4] And what he didH6213(QalPerf) unto the armyH2428 of Egypt,H4714 unto their horses,H5483 and to their chariots;H7393 how he made the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 to overflowH6687(HiphPerf) themH6440 as they pursuedH7291(QalInf) afterH310 you, and [how] the LordH3068 hath destroyedH6(PielImpf) them unto this day;H3117 ^[5] And what he didH6213(QalPerf) unto you in the wilderness,H4057 until ye cameH935(QalInf) into this place;H4725 ^[6] And what he didH6213(QalPerf) unto DathanH1885 and Abiram,H48 the sonsH1121 of Eliab,H446 the sonH1121 of Reuben:H7205 how the earthH776 openedH6475(QalPerf) her mouth,H6310 and swallowed them up,H1104(QalImpf) and their households,H1004 and their tents,H168 and all the substanceH3351 that [was] in their possession,H7272 in the midstH7130 of all Israel:H3478 ^[7] But your eyesH5869 have seenH7200(QalActPtc) all the greatH1419 actsH4639 of the LordH3068 which he did.H6213(QalPerf) ^[8] Therefore shall ye keepH8104(QalPerf) all the commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I commandH6680(PielPtc) you this day,H3117 that ye may be strong,H2388(QalImpf) and go inH935(QalPerf) and possessH3423(QalPerf) the land,H776 whither ye goH5674(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it; ^[9] And that ye may prolongH748(HiphImpf) [your] daysH3117 in the land,H127 which the LordH3068 swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto your fathersH1 to giveH5414(QalInf) unto them and to their seed,H2233 a landH776 that flowethH2100(QalActPtc) with milkH2461 and honey.H1706 ^[10] For the land,H776 whither thou goest inH935(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it, [is] not as the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 from whence ye came out,H3318(QalPerf) where thou sowedstH2232(QalImpf) thy seed,H2233 and wateredstH8248(HiphPerf) [it] with thy foot,H7272 as a gardenH1588 of herbs:H3419 ^[11] But the land,H776 whither ye goH5674(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it, [is] a landH776 of hillsH2022 and valleys,H1237 [and] drinkethH8354(QalImpf) waterH4325 of the rainH4306 of heaven:H8064 ^[12] A landH776 which the LordH3068 thy GodH430 careth for:H1875(QalActPtc) the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 thy GodH430 [are] alwaysH8548 upon it, from the beginningH7225 of the yearH8141 even unto the endH319 of the year.H8141 ^[13] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearkenH8085(QalImpf) diligentlyH8085(QalInf) unto my commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680(PielPtc) you this day,H3117 to loveH157(QalInf) the LordH3068 your God,H430 and to serveH5647(QalInf) him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soul,H5315 ^[14] That I will giveH5414(QalPerf) [you] the rainH4306 of your landH776 in his due season,H6256 the first rainH3138 and the latter rain,H4456 that thou mayest gatherH622(QalPerf) in thy corn,H1715 and thy wine,H8492 and thine oil.H3323 ^[15] And I will sendH5414(QalPerf) grassH6212 in thy fieldsH7704 for thy cattle,H929 that thou mayest eatH398(QalPerf) and be full.H7646(QalPerf) ^[16] Take heedH8104(NiphImpv) to yourselves, that your heartH3824 be not deceived,H6601(QalImpf) and ye turn aside,H5493(QalPerf) and serveH5647(QalPerf) otherH312 gods,H430 and worshipH7812(HithPerf) them; ^[17] And [then] the Lord’sH3068 wrathH639 be kindledH2734(QalPerf) against you, and he shut upH6113(QalPerf) the heaven,H8064 that there be no rain,H4306 and that the landH127 yieldH5414(QalImpf) not her fruit;H2981 and [lest] ye perishH6(QalPerf) quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which the LordH3068 givethH5414(QalActPtc) you. ^[18] Therefore shall ye lay upH7760(QalPerf) these my wordsH1697 in your heartH3824 and in your soul,H5315 and bindH7194(QalPerf) them for a signH226 upon your hand,H3027 that they may be as frontletsH2903 between your eyes.H5869 ^[19] And ye shall teachH3925(PielPerf) them your children,H1121 speakingH1696(PielInf) of them when thou sittestH3427(QalInf) in thine house,H1004 and when thou walkestH3212(QalInf) by the way,H1870 when thou liestH7901(QalInf) down, and when thou risest up.H6965(QalInf) ^[20] And thou shalt writeH3789(QalPerf) them upon the door postsH4201 of thine house,H1004 and upon thy gates:H8179 ^[21] That your daysH3117 may be multiplied,H7235(QalImpf) and the daysH3117 of your children,H1121 in the landH127 which the LordH3068 swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto your fathersH1 to giveH5414(QalInf) them, as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064 upon the earth.H776 ^[22] For if ye shall diligentlyH8104(QalInf) keepH8104(QalImpf) all these commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680(PielPtc) you, to doH6213(QalInf) them, to loveH157(QalInf) the LordH3068 your God,H430 to walkH3212(QalInf) in all his ways,H1870 and to cleaveH1692(QalInf) unto him; ^[23] Then will the LordH3068 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) all these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you, and ye shall possessH3423(QalPerf) greaterH1419 nationsH1471 and mightierH6099 than yourselves. ^[24] Every placeH4725 whereon the solesH3709 of your feetH7272 shall treadH1869(QalImpf) shall be yours: from the wildernessH4057 and Lebanon,H3844 from the river,H5104 the riverH5104 Euphrates,H6578 even unto the uttermostH314 seaH3220 shall your coastH1366 be. ^[25] There shall no manH376 be able to standH3320(HithImpf) beforeH6440 you: [for] the LordH3068 your GodH430 shall layH5414(QalImpf) the fearH6343 of you and the dreadH4172 of you uponH6440 all the landH776 that ye shall treadH1869(QalImpf) upon, as he hath saidH1696(PielPerf) unto you. ^[26] Behold,H7200(QalImpv) I setH5414(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 you this dayH3117 a blessingH1293 and a curse;H7045 ^[27] A blessing,H1293 if ye obeyH8085(QalImpf) the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your God,H430 which I commandH6680(PielPtc) you this day:H3117 ^[28] And a curse,H7045 if ye will not obeyH8085(QalImpf) the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your God,H430 but turn asideH5493(QalPerf) out of the wayH1870 which I commandH6680(PielPtc) you this day,H3117 to goH3212(QalInf) afterH310 otherH312 gods,H430 which ye have not known.H3045(QalPerf) ^[29] And it shall come to pass, when the LordH3068 thy GodH430 hath brought thee inH935(HiphImpf) unto the landH776 whither thou goestH935(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it, that thou shalt putH5414(QalPerf) the blessingH1293 upon mountH2022 Gerizim,H1630 and the curseH7045 upon mountH2022 Ebal.H5858 ^[30] [Are] they not on the other sideH5676 Jordan,H3383 byH310 the wayH1870 where the sunH8121 goeth down,H3996 in the landH776 of the Canaanites,H3669 which dwellH3427(QalActPtc) in the champaignH6160 over againstH4136 Gilgal,H1537 besideH681 the plainsH436 of Moreh?H4176 ^[31] For ye shall pass overH5674(QalActPtc) JordanH3383 to go inH935(QalInf) to possessH3423(QalInf) the landH776 which the LordH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414(QalActPtc) you, and ye shall possessH3423(QalPerf) it, and dwellH3427(QalPerf) therein. ^[32] And ye shall observeH8104(QalPerf) to doH6213(QalInf) all the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which I setH5414(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 you this day.H3117
