Deuteronomy 11:1-17

The Greatness of the LORD

11¹ 'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days; ² and ye have known to-day—for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm, ³ and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land; ⁴ and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day; ⁵ and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place; ⁶ and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel: ⁷ '—But 'it is' your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;

The Blessings of the Promised Land

⁸ and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, ⁹ and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed—a land flowing with milk and honey. ¹⁰ 'For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb; ¹¹ but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, 'is' a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water; ¹² a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually 'are' the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year. ¹³ 'And it hath been—if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul— ¹⁴ that I have given the rain of your land in its season—sprinkling and gathered—and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, ¹⁵ and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied. ¹⁶ 'Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, ¹⁷ and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.
