Deuteronomy 11:5-27

⁵And what he hath done to you in the wilderness, till you came to this place:

⁶And to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, who was the son of Ruben: whom the earth, opening her mouth swallowed up with their households and tents, and all their substance, which they had in the midst of Israel.

⁷Your eyes have seen all the greet works of the Lord, that he hath done,

⁸That you may keep all his commandments, which I command you this day, and may go in, and possess the land, to which you are entering,

⁹And may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey.

¹⁰For the land, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out, where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of gardens.

¹¹But it is a land of hills and plains, expecting rain from heaven.

¹²And the Lord thy God doth always visit it, and his eyes are on it from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.

¹³If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul:

¹⁴He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil,

¹⁵And your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled.

¹⁶Beware lest perhaps your heart be deceived, and you depart from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them:

¹⁷And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you.

¹⁸Lay up these my words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them between your eyes.

¹⁹Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up.

²⁰Thou shalt write them upon the posts and the doors of thy house:

²¹That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth.

²²For if you keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him,

²³The Lord will destroy all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, which are greater and stronger than you.

²⁴Every place, that your foot shall tread upon, shall be yours. From the desert, and from Libanus, from the great river Euphrates unto the western sea shall be your borders.

²⁵None shall stand against you: the Lord your God shall lay the dread and fear of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he hath spoken to you.

²⁶Behold I set forth in your sight this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
