And know ye this day: for I speak not withyourchildrenwhichhave not known, and whichhave not seen the chastisement of the LORDyour God, his greatness, his mightyhand, and his stretched out arm,
And what he did unto the army of Egypt, untotheirhorses, and to theirchariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflowthem as theypursuedafter you, and how the LORDhathdestroyedthemuntothis day;
And what he did untoDathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earthopened her mouth, and swallowedthem up, and theirhouseholds, and theirtents, and all the substancethat was in theirpossession, in the midst of all Israel:
Thereforeshall ye keep all the commandmentswhich I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
For the land, whitherthougoest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, fromwhence ye came out, wherethousowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
And it shallcome to pass, if ye shallhearkendiligentlyunto my commandmentswhich I command you this day, to love the LORDyour God, and to serve him with all yourheart and with all yoursoul,
That I willgive you the rain of yourland in his due season, the firstrain and the latterrain, thatthoumayestgather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
And then the LORD’Swrath be kindledagainst you, and he shut up the heaven, thatthere be no rain, and that the landyield not her fruit; and lest ye perishquicklyfrom off the goodlandwhich the LORDgiveth you.
Thereforeshall ye lay up these my words in yourheart and in yoursoul, and bindthem for a signuponyourhand, thatthey may be as frontletsbetweenyoureyes.
And ye shallteachthemyourchildren, speaking of themwhenthousittest in thinehouse, and whenthouwalkest by the way, whenthouliestdown, and whenthourisest up.
Thatyourdays may be multiplied, and the days of yourchildren, in the landwhich the LORDswareuntoyourfathers to givethem, as the days of heavenupon the earth.
For if ye shalldiligentlykeep all thesecommandmentswhich I command you, to do them, to love the LORDyour God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleaveunto him;
Everyplacewhereon the soles of yourfeetshalltreadshall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the riverEuphrates, evenunto the uttermost sea shallyourcoast be.
Thereshall no man be able to standbefore you: for the LORDyour God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the landthat ye shalltreadupon, as he hathsaidunto you.
And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORDyour God, but turnaside out of the way which I command you this day, to go afterothergods, which ye have not known.
And it shallcome to pass, when the LORD thy God hathbroughtthee in unto the landwhitherthougoest to possess it, thatthoushalt put the blessinguponmountGerizim, and the curseuponmountEbal.
Are they not on the othersideJordan, by the way where the sun goethdown, in the land of the Canaanites, whichdwell in the champaignoveragainstGilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
