Deuteronomy 11

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, always.

2 And know ye this day, for I speak not with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His stretched out arm,

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;

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 the LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD swore 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 sowed thy seed and watered 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 LORD thy God careth for. The eyes of the LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD'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 LORD 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 to 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 doorposts 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 LORD swore 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 LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave unto Him--

23 then will the LORD 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 borders be.

25 There shall no man be able to stand before you; for the LORD 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.

26 "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you this day;

28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.

29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God 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.

30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

31 For ye shall pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it and dwell therein.

32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Love the LORD your God, and do what he wants you to do. Always obey his laws, rules, and commands.

2 Remember today the discipline you learned from the LORD your God. ([I'm not talking] to your children. They didn't see or experience any of this.) You saw and experienced his great power--his mighty hand and powerful arm.

3 You saw the miraculous signs and deeds he did in Egypt to Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) and to his whole country.

4 You saw what he did to the Egyptian army, its horses and chariots. He drowned them in the Red Sea when they pursued you. So the LORD destroyed them forever.

5 You saw what he did for you in the desert until you came here.

6 You also saw what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, from the tribe of Reuben. In the middle of all the Israelites the ground opened up and swallowed them, their families, their tents, and every living creature with them.

7 You saw with your own eyes all these spectacular things that the LORD did.

8 Obey all the commands I'm giving you today. Then you will have the strength to enter and take possession of the land once you've crossed [the Jordan River].

9 Then you will also live for a long time in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors and their descendants--a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 The land you're about to enter and take possession of isn't like the land you left in Egypt. There you used to plant your seed, and you had to water it like a vegetable garden.

11 The land you're about to enter is a land with hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.

12 It is a land the LORD your God cares about. He watches over it all year long.

13 If you faithfully obey the commands that I'm giving you today, love the LORD your God, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 I will send rain on your land at the right time, both in the fall and in the spring. Then you will gather your own grain, new wine, and olive oil.

15 I will provide grass in the fields for your animals, and you will be able to eat all you want.

16 Be careful, or you'll be tempted to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.

17 The LORD will become angry with you. He'll shut the sky so that there'll be no rain. Then the ground won't grow any crops, and you'll quickly disappear from this good land the LORD is giving you.

18 Take these words of mine to heart and keep them in mind. [Write them down,] tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.

19 Teach them to your children, and talk about them when you're at home or away, when you lie down or get up.

20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

21 Then you and your children will live for a long time in this land that the LORD swore to give to your ancestors--as long as there's a sky above the earth.

22 Faithfully obey all these commands I'm giving you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his directions, and be loyal to him.

23 Then the LORD will force all these people out of your way. Then you will take possession of [the land belonging to] people taller and stronger than you.

24 I will give you every place on which you set foot. Your borders will be from the desert to Lebanon, from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

25 No one will be able to stop you. As the LORD your God promised, he will make people terrified of you wherever you go in this land.

26 Today I'm giving you the choice of a blessing or a curse.

27 You'll be blessed if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I'm giving you today.

28 You'll be cursed if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God, if you turn from the way I'm commanding you to live today, and if you worship other gods you never knew.

29 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you're about to enter, recite the blessing from Mount Gerizim and the curse from Mount Ebal.

30 (These mountains are on the west side of the Jordan, beyond the road that goes west, in the region of the Canaanites who live on the plains facing Gilgal, next to the oak trees of Moreh.)

31 You're about to cross the Jordan River to enter and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and live there,

32 be careful to obey all the laws and rules I'm giving you today.
