Deuteronomy 11:11-30 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,

12. a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

13. And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14. that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;

15. and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.

16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,

17. and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.

18. And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

19. And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;

20. and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;

21. that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens which are above the earth.

22. For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you this day to do it, to love Jehovah your God to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

23. then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

24. Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.

25. No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

26. See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

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

28. and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah 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 Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in 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, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
