Deuteronomy 11:19-32 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

19. And you shall teach them to your children by talking about them when you sit in your house and when you travel on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.

20. And you shall write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates,

21. so that they may multiply your days and the days of your children on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give it to them as long as heaven endures over the earth.

22. Yes, if you diligently keep all this commandment that I am commanding you to observe it, by loving Yahweh your God by walking in all his ways and by holding fast to him,

23. then Yahweh will drive out all of these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you.

24. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, it shall be yours; your boundary shall be from the desert and Lebanon from the river, the river Euphrates, on up to the western sea.

25. No one can take a stand against you; your dread and your fear Yahweh your God will put on the surface of all the land where you tread, just as he promised to you.

26. “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27. the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today,

28. and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but rather you turn from the way that I am commanding you today to go after other gods that you have not known.

29. “And it will happen that when Yahweh your God has brought you to the land that you are going to, to take possession of it, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30. (Are they not beyond the Jordan, toward the west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Jordan Valley, opposite Gilgal beside the terebinth of Moreh?)

31. For you are now about to cross the Jordan to go to take possession of the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving to you, and you will take possession of it and live in it,

32. and you must diligently observe all the rules and the regulations that I am setting before you today.”
