You shall therefore love - the LORD your God and always ... keep His charge , His statutes , His ordinances , and His commandments.
Know this day that it is not - your children who ... have known and ... seen - the discipline of the LORD your God : - His greatness , - His mighty hand , and His outstretched arm ;
- the signs - and works - He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land ;
what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf - - them as they pursued you , ... and (how) He destroyed them completely , even to this day ... ;
what He did in the wilderness until you reached ... this place ;
and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram , the sons of Eliab the Reubenite ... , when the earth - opened its mouth and swallowed them , - their households , - their tents , and every living thing - that belonged to them.
For (it is) your own eyes (that) have seen - every great work that the LORD has done.
You shall therefore keep - every commandment - I am giving you today ... , so that you may have the strength to go in and possess - the land that you are crossing (the Jordan) to possess ,
and so that you may live long ... in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give and their descendants , a land flowing with milk and honey.
For the land that you are entering ... to possess is not like the land of Egypt , from which you have come , ... - where you sowed - your seed and irrigated on foot , like a vegetable garden.
But the land that you are crossing (the Jordan) to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in ... the rain from heaven.
It is a land for which the LORD your God cares ; - the eyes of the LORD your God are always from the beginning to the end ... of the year.
So if you carefully obey ... ... the commandments - I am giving you today - - , to love - the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul ,
then I will provide rain for your land in season , the autumn and spring rains ... , that you may gather your grain , new wine , and oil.
And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock , and you will eat and be satisfied.
But be careful that you are not enticed ... to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods ,
or the anger of the LORD will be kindled He will shut - the heavens so that there will be no rain , nor will the land yield - its produce , and you will soon perish ... from the good land that the LORD is giving
Fix - these words of mine in your hearts and minds ; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them ... on your foreheads ....
Teach them - to your children , speaking when you sit at home and when you walk along the road , when you lie down and when you get up.
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates ,
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 swore to give your fathers.
For if you carefully keep ... - all these - commandments I am giving - you to follow — to love - the LORD your God , to walk in all His ways , and to hold fast
then the LORD - will drive out all these nations before you , and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger
Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon , and from the Euphrates River ... to the Western Sea.
No man will be able to stand against you ; the LORD your God will put the fear and dread of you upon all the land , wherever you set foot as He has promised
See , today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse —
- a blessing if you obey ... the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today - - ,
but a curse if vvv you disobey ... the commandments of the LORD your God and turn aside from the path - I command you today by following ... other - gods , which you have not known.
- When the LORD your God brings you into the land - you are entering ... to possess , you are to proclaim - the blessing on Mount Gerizim - and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Are not these mountains across the Jordan , west of the road toward the sunset , in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh ?
For you are about to cross - the Jordan to enter and possess - the land that the LORD your God is giving When you take possession of it and settle
be careful to follow - all the statutes - and ordinances that I am setting before you today.
