23. Then the lord will drive out all the nations ahead of you, though they are much greater and stronger than you, and you will take over their land.
24. Wherever you set foot, that land will be yours. Your frontiers will stretch from the wilderness in the south to Lebanon in the north, and from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
25. No one will be able to stand against you, for the lord your God will cause the people to fear and dread you, as he promised, wherever you go in the whole land.
26. “Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse!
27. You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the lord your God that I am giving you today.
28. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.
29. “When the lord your God brings you into the land and helps you take possession of it, you must pronounce the blessing at Mount Gerizim and the curse at Mount Ebal.
30. (These two mountains are west of the Jordan River in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Jordan Valley, near the town of Gilgal, not far from the oaks of Moreh.)
31. For you are about to cross the Jordan River to take over the land the lord your God is giving you. When you take that land and are living in it,
32. you must be careful to obey all the decrees and regulations I am giving you today.
