1 There­fore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judg­ments, and his com­mand­ments, al­way. 2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your chil­dren which have not known, and which have not seen the chas­tise­ment of the LORD your God, his great­ness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 3 And his mir­a­cles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; 4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their hors­es, and to their char­i­ots; how he made the wa­ter of the Red sea to over­flow them as they pur­sued af­ter you, and how the LORD hath de­stroyed them unto this day; 5 And what he did unto you in the wilder­ness, un­til ye came into this place; 6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abi­ram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swal­lowed them up, and their house­holds, and their tents, and all the sub­stance that was in their pos­ses­sion, in the midst of all Is­rael: 7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 8 There­fore shall ye keep all the com­mand­ments which I com­mand you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and pos­sess the land, whith­er ye go to pos­sess it; 9 And that ye may pro­long your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fa­thers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and hon­ey. 10 For the land, whith­er thou goest in to pos­sess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wa­teredst it with thy foot, as a gar­den of herbs: 11 But the land, whith­er ye go to pos­sess it, is a land of hills and val­leys, and drin­keth wa­ter of the rain of heav­en: 12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are al­ways upon it, from the be­gin­ning of the year even unto the end of the year. 13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hear­ken dili­gent­ly unto my com­mand­ments which I com­mand you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due sea­son, the first rain and the lat­ter rain, that thou mayest gath­er in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cat­tle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 16 Take heed to your­selves, that your heart be not de­ceived, and ye turn aside, and serve oth­er gods, and wor­ship them; 17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kin­dled against you, and he shut up the heav­en, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye per­ish quick­ly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 18 There­fore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets be­tween your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your chil­dren, speak­ing of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walk­est by the way, when thou li­est down, and when thou ris­est up. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21 That your days may be mul­ti­plied, and the days of your chil­dren, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fa­thers to give them, as the days of heav­en upon the earth. 22 For if ye shall dili­gent­ly keep all these com­mand­ments which I com­mand you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; 23 Then will the LORD drive out all these na­tions from be­fore you, and ye shall pos­sess greater na­tions and might­i­er than your­selves. 24 Ev­ery place where­on the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilder­ness and Lebanon, from the riv­er, the riv­er Eu­phrates, even unto the ut­ter­most sea shall your coast be. 25 There shall no man be able to stand be­fore you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread up­on, as he hath said unto you. 26 Be­hold, I set be­fore you this day a bless­ing and a curse; 27 A bless­ing, if ye obey the com­mand­ments of the LORD your God, which I com­mand you this day: 28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the com­mand­ments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I com­mand you this day, to go af­ter oth­er gods, which ye have not known. 29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whith­er thou goest to pos­sess it, that thou shalt put the bless­ing upon mount Ger­iz­im, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30 Are they not on the oth­er side Jor­dan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaan­ites, which dwell in the cham­paign over against Gil­gal, be­side the plains of Moreh? 31 For ye shall pass over Jor­dan to go in to pos­sess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall pos­sess it, and dwell there­in. 32 And ye shall ob­serve to do all the statutes and judg­ments which I set be­fore you this day.
