{11:1} Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and
keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his
commandments, alway. {11:2} 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, {11:3} 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; {11:4} 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; {11:5} And what he did unto you in the
wilderness, until ye came into this place; {11:6} 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: {11:7} But your eyes have seen all the great acts of
the LORD which he did. {11:8} 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; {11:9} 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.
{11:10} 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: {11:11} But the land, whither ye
go to possess it, [is] a land of hills [and] valleys, and
drinketh water of the rain of heaven: {11:12} 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.
{11:13} 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, {11:14} 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. {11:15} And I will send grass in
thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
{11:16} Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not
deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and
worship them; {11:17} 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.
{11:18} 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.
{11:19} 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. {11:20} And thou shalt write them upon the door
posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: {11:21} 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.
{11:22} 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; {11:23} Then will the LORD drive out all these
nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater
nations and mightier than yourselves. {11:24} 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.
{11:25} 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.
{11:26} Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a
curse; {11:27} A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of
the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
{11:28} 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. {11:29} 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. {11:30} [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? {11:31} 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. {11:32} And ye shall observe to do all the
statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
