1
All the mitzvotha which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which YHVHb sworec unto your fathers.
2
And thou shalt remember all the way which YHVH, thy Elohima, led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heartb, whether thou wouldest keep His mitzvoth or not.
3
And YHVH hath humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with mannaa, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know,
4
And this that thou might know that mankinda doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH doth thou live:
5
And thy raiment waxed not old upon thee; neither did thy foot swell these forty years.
6
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so YHVH, thy Elohim, chasteneth thee;
7
Therefore, thou shalt keep the mitzvoth of YHVH, thy Elohim, to walk in His ways and to love Him.
8
For YHVH, thy Elohim, bringeth thee into a good and spacious land: a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
9
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, with fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
10
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
11
And when thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless YHVH, thy Elohim, for the good land which thou hath been given.
12
¶ Beware: forget not YHVH, thy Elohim, falling asleep to His mitzvoth, and His practice, and His ordinances, which I lay charge upon thee this day,
13
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein,
14
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,
15
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage,
16
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water, who brought thee forth water out of the rocka of flint,
17
Who fed thee in the wilderness with mannaa, which thy fathers knew not, that He might humble thee and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latterb end.
18
¶ And thou might say in thine heart: My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth;
19
But thou shalt remember YHVH, thy Elohim; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
20
¶ And it shall come to pass that if thou do at all forget YHVH, thy Elohim, and walk after other elohima, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
21
As the nations which YHVH conquereth before your face, so shall ye perish because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of YHVH, your Elohim; therefore, remember, and perish not.
