1
All the commandments which I▵ command thee today you shall take··heed to do, so··that you may live, and multiply , and go ··in and possess the land which Jehovah promised to your fathers .
2
And thou shalt remember all of the way in which Jehovah thy God led* thee these forty years in the wilderness , in··order ··to afflict thee, and to tempt thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments , or not.
3
And He afflicted thee, and caused thee to hunger, and caused thee to eat the manna , which thou knewest not, and thy fathers knew not; so··that He might make thee to know that man does not live on bread alone, but on all that goes··out of the mouth of Jehovah does man live.
4
Thy raiment did not wear··out upon thee, neither did thy foot swell , these forty years.
5
Thou shalt also know in thy heart, that, as a man ◦ chastens his son , so Jehovah thy God chastens thee.
6
And thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God , to walk ◦ in His ways , and to fear Him.
7
For Jehovah thy God brings thee to a good land , a land of brooks of waters, of founts and abysses that come ··forth in vales and in mountains ;
8
a land of wheat , and barley , and vine , and fig , and pomegranate ; a land of olive of oil , and of honey ;
9
a land in which thou shalt eat bread in her and not with storehouses, thou shalt not have··want of any thing in her; a land whose stones are iron , and from her mountains thou mayest hew··out copper.
10
When thou hast eaten and art satisfied , then thou shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which He has given thee.
11
Take··heed for thyself lest thou forget Jehovah thy God , in not▵ keeping His commandments , and His judgments , and His statutes , which I▵ command thee today ;
12
lest thou eat and be satisfied , and build good houses , and dwell in them,
13
and thy herd and thy flock multiply , and thy silver and thy gold multiply , and all that thou hast◦ multiply ,
14
and thy heart be lifted··up◦, and thou forget Jehovah thy God , who brought· thee ·out from the land of Egypt , from the house of servants ;
15
who led* thee through the great and fearful wilderness of the serpent , the saraph*, and the scorpion, and thirsty··ground in which there was no water ; who brought··forth for thee water from the rock of flint ;
16
who caused thee to eat manna in the wilderness , which thy fathers knew not, so··that He might afflict thee, and so··that He might tempt thee, to do· thee ·good in thy later time;
17
and thou say in thy heart, My power and the fortitude* of my hand has made for me these belongings.
18
But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God ; for it is He◦ Who gives thee power to make such belongings, so··that He may raise··up His covenant which He promised to thy fathers , as it is this day .
19
And it shall be, if forgetting thou forgettest Jehovah thy God , and walk after other gods , and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you today that perishing you shall perish.
20
As the nations that Jehovah causes to perish from before you, so shall you perish; because▵ you would not obey the voice of Jehovah your God .
