overflow them as they pursued after you, and
how
the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
thy God careth for: the eyes of the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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
L
ORD
’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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
23
Then will the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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.
