Deuteronomy 8

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

3 And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

4 Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

5 Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.

6 Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.

7 For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

8 A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

9 Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

10 And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

11 Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

12 And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;

13 And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;

14 Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;

15 Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

16 Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;

17 Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.

19 And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

20 Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 Kol hamitzvot which I command thee today shall ye be shomer to do, lema’an (in order that) ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess ha’aretz which Hashem swore unto Avoteichem.

2 And thou shalt remember kol haderech which Hashem Eloheicha led thee these arba’im shanah in the midbar, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine lev, whether thou wouldest be shomer over His mitzvot, or no.

3 And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did Avoteicha know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by lechem only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Hashem doth man live.

4 Thy raiment did not increase old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these arba’im shanah.

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine lev, that, as a man chasteneth bno, so Hashem Eloheicha chasteneth thee.

6 Therefore thou shalt be shomer over the mitzvot of Hashem Eloheicha, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

7 For Hashem Eloheicha bringeth thee into an eretz tovah, a land of brooks of mayim, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

8 An eretz chittah, and se’orah (barley), and gefen, and te’enah, and pomegranates; an eretz zayit shemen, and devash;

9 An eretz wherein thou shalt eat lechem without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; an eretz whose stones are barzel, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig nechoshet (bronze).

10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless Hashem Eloheicha for ha’aretz hatovah which He hath given thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not Hashem Eloheicha, in not being shomer over His mitzvot, and His mishpatim, and His chukkot, which I command thee today;

12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly batim (houses) and dwelt therein;

13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy kesef and thy zahav is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14 Then thine lev be lifted up, and thou forget Hashem Eloheicha which brought thee forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, from the bais avadim;

15 Who led thee through that great and terrible midbar, wherein were fiery nachash, and akrav (scorpions), and parched earth, where there was no mayim; Who brought thee forth mayim out of the rock of flint;

16 Who fed thee in the midbar with manna, which Avoteicha knew not, that He might humble thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy acharit;

17 And thou say in thine lev, My ko’ach (power) and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this chayil (wealth).

18 But thou shalt remember Hashem Eloheicha; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His Brit which He swore unto Avoteicha, as it is yom hazeh.

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Hashem Eloheicha, and walk after acharei elohim, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you today that ye shall surely perish.

20 As the Goyim which Hashem destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of Hashem Eloheichem.
