11:1 Therefore thou shalt love Yehovah thy
Elohim, and shalt observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his
commandments, and his judgments, always.
11:2 And ye shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who
know not and have not seen the discipline of Yehovah thy Elohim, and his
wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,
11:3 and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of
Egypt onPharaoh king of Egypt, and all his land;
11:4 and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots,
and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to
overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and Yehovah destroyed
them until this day;
11:5 and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until ye came
into this place;
11:6 and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab
the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their
houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the
midst of all Israel:
11:7 for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of Yehovah, which he
wrought among you to-day.
11:8 And ye shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command thee
to-day, that ye may live, and be multiplied, and that ye may go in and
inherit the land, into which ye go across Jordan to inherit it:
11:9 that ye may live long upon the land, which Yehovah sware to your
fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with
milk and honey.
11:10 For the land into which thou goest to inherit it, is not as the land
of Egypt, whence ye came out, whensoever they sow the seed, and water it
with their feet, as a garden of herbs:
11:11 but the land into which thou goest to inherit it, is a land of
mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.
11:12 A land which Yehovah thy Elohim surveys continually, the eyes of the
Lord thy Elohim are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the
year.
11:13 Now if ye will indeed hearken to all the commands which I charge thee
this day, to love Yehovah thy Elohim, and to serve him with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul,
11:14 then he shall give to thy land the early and latter rain in its
season, and thou shalt bring in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
11:15 And he shall give food in thy fields to thy cattle; and when thou hast
eaten and art full,
11:16 take heed to thyself that thy heart be not puffed up, and ye
transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:
11:17 and Yehovah be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there
shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and ye shall
perish quickly from off the good land, which Yehovah has given you.
11:18 And ye shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and ye
shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your
eyes.
11:19 And ye shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them
when thou sittest in the house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when
thou sleepest, and when thou risest up.
11:20 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your
gates;
11:21 that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the
land which Yehovah sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of
heaven upon the earth.
11:22 And it shall come to pass that if ye will indeed hearken to all these
commands, which I charge thee to observe this day, to love Yehovah our Elohim,
and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;
11:23 then Yehovah shall cast out all these nations before you, and ye
shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.
11:24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your;
from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river
Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.
11:25 No one shall stand before you; and Yehovah your Elohim will put the fear
of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which ye shall
tread, as he told you.
11:26 Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;
11:27 the blessing, if ye hearken to the commands of Yehovah your Elohim, all
that I command you this day;
11:28 and the curse, if ye do not hearken to the commands of Yehovah our
Elohim, as many as I command you this day, and ye wander from the way which I
have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which ye know not.
11:29 And it shall come to pass when Yehovah thy Elohim shall have brought
thee into the land into which thou goest over to inherit it, then thou shalt
put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.
11:30 Lo! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of
Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?
11:31 For ye are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which
Yehovah our Elohim gives you to inherit always, and ye shall dwell in it.
11:32 And ye shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgments,
as many as I set before you to-day. |
11:1 Therefore thou shalt love Yehovah thy
Elohim, 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 Yehovah your Elohim, 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah thy Elohim careth for: the eyes of Yehovah thy Elohim
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 Yehovah your Elohim, 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 Yehovah'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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah your Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to
cleave unto him;
11:23 Then will Yehovah 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 Yehovah your Elohim
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 Yehovah your Elohim, which I
command you this day:
11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Yehovah your
Elohim, 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 Yehovah thy Elohim 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
Yehovah your Elohim 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. |
