² Know this day—for I don’t speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm,

KJVAnd know^H3045^(H8804) ye this day^H3117: for I speak not with your children^H1121 which have not known^H3045^(H8804), and which have not seen^H7200^(H8804) the chastisement^H4148 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, his greatness^H1433, his mighty^H2389 hand^H3027, and his stretched out^H5186^(H8803) arm^H2220,

³ his signs, and his works, which he did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;

KJVAnd his miracles^H226, and his acts^H4639, which he did^H6213^(H8804) in the midst^H8432 of Egypt^H4714 unto Pharaoh^H6547 the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, and unto all his land^H776;

⁴ and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to this day;

KJVAnd what he did^H6213^(H8804) unto the army^H2428 of Egypt^H4714, unto their horses^H5483, and to their chariots^H7393; how he made the water^H4325 of the Red^H5488 sea^H3220 to overflow^H6687^(H8689) them^H6440 as they pursued^H7291^(H8800) after^H310 you, and how the LORD^H3068 hath destroyed^H6^(H8762) them unto this day^H3117;

KJVAnd what he did^H6213^(H8804) unto you in the wilderness^H4057, until ye came^H935^(H8800) into this place^H4725;

⁶ and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben—how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel;

KJVAnd what he did^H6213^(H8804) unto Dathan^H1885 and Abiram^H48, the sons^H1121 of Eliab^H446, the son^H1121 of Reuben^H7205: how the earth^H776 opened^H6475^(H8804) her mouth^H6310, and swallowed them up^H1104^(H8799), and their households^H1004, and their tents^H168, and all the substance^H3351 that was in their possession^H7272, in the midst^H7130 of all Israel^H3478:

⁷ but your eyes have seen all of Yahweh’s great work which he did.

KJVBut your eyes^H5869 have seen^H7200^(H8802) all the great^H1419 acts^H4639 of the LORD^H3068 which he did^H6213^(H8804).

KJVTherefore shall ye keep^H8104^(H8804) all the commandments^H4687 which^H834 I command^H6680^(H8764) you this day^H3117, that ye may be strong^H2388^(H8799), and go in^H935^(H8804) and possess^H3423^(H8804) the land^H776, whither ye go^H5674^(H8802) to possess^H3423^(H8800) it;

⁹ and that you may prolong your days in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

KJVAnd that ye may prolong^H748^(H8686) your days^H3117 in the land^H127, which the LORD^H3068 sware^H7650^(H8738) unto your fathers^H1 to give^H5414^(H8800) unto them and to their seed^H2233, a land^H776 that floweth^H2100^(H8802) with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706.

¹⁰ For the land, where you go in to possess isn’t like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;

KJVFor the land^H776, whither thou goest in^H935^(H8802) to possess^H3423^(H8800) it, is not as the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, from whence ye came out^H3318^(H8804), where thou sowedst^H2232^(H8799) thy seed^H2233, and wateredst^H8248^(H8689) it with thy foot^H7272, as a garden^H1588 of herbs^H3419:

¹¹ but the land that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky,

KJVBut the land^H776, whither ye go^H5674^(H8802) to possess^H3423^(H8800) it, is a land^H776 of hills^H2022 and valleys^H1237, and drinketh^H8354^(H8799) water^H4325 of the rain^H4306 of heaven^H8064:

¹² a land which Yahweh your God cares for. Yahweh your God’s eyes are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

KJVA land^H776 which the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 careth for^H1875^(H8802): the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 are always^H8548 upon it, from the beginning^H7225 of the year^H8141 even unto the end^H319 of the year^H8141.

¹³ It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken^H8085^(H8799) diligently^H8085^(H8800) unto my commandments^H4687 which I command^H6680^(H8764) you this day^H3117, to love^H157^(H8800) the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, and to serve^H5647^(H8800) him with all your heart^H3824 and with all your soul^H5315,

¹⁴ that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

KJVThat I will give^H5414^(H8804) you the rain^H4306 of your land^H776 in his due season^H6256, the first rain^H3138 and the latter rain^H4456, that thou mayest gather^H622^(H8804) in thy corn^H1715, and thy wine^H8492, and thine oil^H3323.

¹⁵ I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

KJVAnd I will send^H5414^(H8804) grass^H6212 in thy fields^H7704 for thy cattle^H929, that thou mayest eat^H398^(H8804) and be full^H7646^(H8804).

¹⁶ Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;

KJVTake heed^H8104^(H8734) to yourselves, that your heart^H3824 be not deceived^H6601^(H8799), and ye turn aside^H5493^(H8804), and serve^H5647^(H8804) other^H312 gods^H430, and worship^H7812^(H8694) them;

¹⁷ and Yahweh’s anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land doesn’t yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you.

KJVAnd then the LORD'S^H3068 wrath^H639 be kindled^H2734^(H8804) against you, and he shut up^H6113^(H8804) the heaven^H8064, that there be no rain^H4306, and that the land^H127 yield^H5414^(H8799) not her fruit^H2981; and lest ye perish^H6^(H8804) quickly^H4120 from off the good^H2896 land^H776 which the LORD^H3068 giveth^H5414^(H8802) you.

¹⁸ Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

KJVTherefore shall ye lay up^H7760^(H8804) these my words^H1697 in your heart^H3824 and in your soul^H5315, and bind^H7194^(H8804) them for a sign^H226 upon your hand^H3027, that they may be as frontlets^H2903 between your eyes^H5869.

¹⁹ You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

KJVAnd ye shall teach^H3925^(H8765) them your children^H1121, speaking^H1696^(H8763) of them when thou sittest^H3427^(H8800) in thine house^H1004, and when thou walkest^H3212^(H8800) by the way^H1870, when thou liest^H7901^(H8800) down, and when thou risest up^H6965^(H8800).

²⁰ You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates;

KJVAnd thou shalt write^H3789^(H8804) them upon the door posts^H4201 of thine house^H1004, and upon thy gates^H8179:

²¹ that your days and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

KJVThat your days^H3117 may be multiplied^H7235^(H8799), and the days^H3117 of your children^H1121, in the land^H127 which the LORD^H3068 sware^H7650^(H8738) unto your fathers^H1 to give^H5414^(H8800) them, as the days^H3117 of heaven^H8064 upon the earth^H776.

²² For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you—to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him—

KJVFor if ye shall diligently^H8104^(H8800) keep^H8104^(H8799) all these commandments^H4687 which I command^H6680^(H8764) you, to do^H6213^(H8800) them, to love^H157^(H8800) the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, to walk^H3212^(H8800) in all his ways^H1870, and to cleave^H1692^(H8800) unto him;

²³ then Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

KJVThen will the LORD^H3068 drive out^H3423^(H8689) all these nations^H1471 from before^H6440 you, and ye shall possess^H3423^(H8804) greater^H1419 nations^H1471 and mightier^H6099 than yourselves.

²⁴ Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.

KJVEvery place^H4725 whereon the soles^H3709 of your feet^H7272 shall tread^H1869^(H8799) shall be yours: from the wilderness^H4057 and Lebanon^H3844, from the river^H5104, the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578, even unto the uttermost^H314 sea^H3220 shall your coast^H1366 be.

²⁵ No man will be able to stand before you. Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you tread on, as he has spoken to you.

KJVThere shall no man^H376 be able to stand^H3320^(H8691) before^H6440 you: for the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 shall lay^H5414^(H8799) the fear^H6343 of you and the dread^H4172 of you upon^H6440 all the land^H776 that ye shall tread^H1869^(H8799) upon, as he hath said^H1696^(H8765) unto you.

²⁶ Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:

KJVBehold^H7200^(H8798), I set^H5414^(H8802) before^H6440 you this day^H3117 a blessing^H1293 and a curse^H7045;

²⁷ the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you today;

KJVA blessing^H1293, if ye obey^H8085^(H8799) the commandments^H4687 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, which I command^H6680^(H8764) you this day^H3117:

²⁸ and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn away out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

KJVAnd a curse^H7045, if ye will not obey^H8085^(H8799) the commandments^H4687 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, but turn aside^H5493^(H8804) out of the way^H1870 which I command^H6680^(H8764) you this day^H3117, to go^H3212^(H8800) after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430, which ye have not known^H3045^(H8804).

²⁹ It shall happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, when the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 hath brought thee in^H935^(H8686) unto the land^H776 whither thou goest^H935^(H8802) to possess^H3423^(H8800) it, that thou shalt put^H5414^(H8804) the blessing^H1293 upon mount^H2022 Gerizim^H1630, and the curse^H7045 upon mount^H2022 Ebal^H5858.

³⁰ Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

KJVAre they not on the other side^H5676 Jordan^H3383, by^H310 the way^H1870 where the sun^H8121 goeth down^H3996, in the land^H776 of the Canaanites^H3669, which dwell^H3427^(H8802) in the champaign^H6160 over against^H4136 Gilgal^H1537, beside^H681 the plains^H436 of Moreh^H4176?

³¹ For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.

KJVFor ye shall pass over^H5674^(H8802) Jordan^H3383 to go in^H935^(H8800) to possess^H3423^(H8800) the land^H776 which the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 giveth^H5414^(H8802) you, and ye shall possess^H3423^(H8804) it, and dwell^H3427^(H8804) therein.

² I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”

KJVAnd I will write^H3789^(H8799) on the tables^H3871 the words^H1697 that were in the first^H7223 tables^H3871 which thou brakest^H7665^(H8765), and thou shalt put^H7760^(H8804) them in the ark^H727.

³ So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.

KJVAnd I made^H6213^(H8799) an ark^H727 of shittim^H7848 wood^H6086, and hewed^H6458^(H8799) two^H8147 tables^H3871 of stone^H68 like unto the first^H7223, and went up^H5927^(H8799) into the mount^H2022, having the two^H8147 tables^H3871 in mine hand^H3027.

KJVAnd he wrote^H3789^(H8799) on the tables^H3871, according to the first^H7223 writing^H4385, the ten^H6235 commandments^H1697, which the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696^(H8765) unto you in the mount^H2022 out of the midst^H8432 of the fire^H784 in the day^H3117 of the assembly^H6951: and the LORD^H3068 gave^H5414^(H8799) them unto me.

⁵ I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me.

KJVAnd I turned^H6437^(H8799) myself and came down^H3381^(H8799) from the mount^H2022, and put^H7760^(H8799) the tables^H3871 in the ark^H727 which I had made^H6213^(H8804); and there they be, as the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680^(H8765) me.

⁶ (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

KJVAnd the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 took their journey^H5265^(H8804) from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan^H885 to Mosera^H4149: there Aaron^H175 died^H4191^(H8804), and there he was buried^H6912^(H8735); and Eleazar^H499 his son^H1121 ministered in the priest's office^H3547^(H8762) in his stead.

⁸ At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

KJVAt that time^H6256 the LORD^H3068 separated^H914^(H8689) the tribe^H7626 of Levi^H3878, to bear^H5375^(H8800) the ark^H727 of the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068, to stand^H5975^(H8800) before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 to minister^H8334^(H8763) unto him, and to bless^H1288^(H8763) in his name^H8034, unto this day^H3117.

⁹ Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)

KJVWherefore Levi^H3878 hath no part^H2506 nor inheritance^H5159 with his brethren^H251; the LORD^H3068 is his inheritance^H5159, according as the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 promised^H1696^(H8765) him.

¹⁰ I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and Yahweh listened to me that time also. Yahweh would not destroy you.

KJVAnd I stayed^H5975^(H8804) in the mount^H2022, according to the first^H7223 time^H3117, forty^H705 days^H3117 and forty^H705 nights^H3915; and the LORD^H3068 hearkened^H8085^(H8799) unto me at that time^H6471 also, and the LORD^H3068 would^H14^(H8804) not destroy^H7843^(H8687) thee.

¹¹ Yahweh said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Arise^H6965^(H8798), take^H3212^(H8798) thy journey^H4550 before^H6440 the people^H5971, that they may go in^H935^(H8799) and possess^H3423^(H8799) the land^H776, which I sware^H7650^(H8738) unto their fathers^H1 to give^H5414^(H8800) unto them.

¹² Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

KJVAnd now, Israel^H3478, what doth the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 require^H7592^(H8802) of thee, but to fear^H3372^(H8800) the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430, to walk^H3212^(H8800) in all his ways^H1870, and to love^H157^(H8800) him, and to serve^H5647^(H8800) the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 with all thy heart^H3824 and with all thy soul^H5315,

¹³ to keep Yahweh’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?

KJVTo keep^H8104^(H8800) the commandments^H4687 of the LORD^H3068, and his statutes^H2708, which I command^H6680^(H8764) thee this day^H3117 for thy good^H2896?

¹⁴ Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.

KJVBehold, the heaven^H8064 and the heaven^H8064 of heavens^H8064 is the LORD'S^H3068 thy God^H430, the earth^H776 also, with all that therein is.

¹⁵ Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.

KJVOnly the LORD^H3068 had a delight^H2836^(H8804) in thy fathers^H1 to love^H157^(H8800) them, and he chose^H977^(H8799) their seed^H2233 after^H310 them, even you above all people^H5971, as it is this day^H3117.

¹⁶ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

KJVCircumcise^H4135^(H8804) therefore the foreskin^H6190 of your heart^H3824, and be no more stiffnecked^H6203^H7185^(H8686).

¹⁷ For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

KJVFor the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 is God^H430 of gods^H430, and Lord^H113 of lords^H113, a great^H1419 God^H410, a mighty^H1368, and a terrible^H3372^(H8737), which regardeth^H5375^(H8799) not persons^H6440, nor taketh^H3947^(H8799) reward^H7810:

¹⁸ He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.

KJVHe doth execute^H6213^(H8802) the judgment^H4941 of the fatherless^H3490 and widow^H490, and loveth^H157^(H8802) the stranger^H1616, in giving^H5414^(H8800) him food^H3899 and raiment^H8071.

¹⁹ Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

KJVLove^H157^(H8804) ye therefore the stranger^H1616: for ye were strangers^H1616 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

²⁰ You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

KJVThou shalt fear^H3372^(H8799) the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430; him shalt thou serve^H5647^(H8799), and to him shalt thou cleave^H1692^(H8799), and swear^H7650^(H8735) by his name^H8034.
