8Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you go to possess it; 9And that you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land that flows with milk and honey. 10For the land, where you go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from which you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs: 11But the land, where you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and it drinks water of the rain of heaven: 12A land which the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even until the end of the year.

13And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently to My commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14That I will give you the rain of your land in its due season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil. 15And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full. 16Take heed to yourselves, that your heart is not deceived, and turn aside, and serve and worship other gods; 17So that the LORD's wrath is kindled against you, and He shuts up the heaven, that there is no rain, and that the land yields not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.

18Therefore shall you lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates: 21That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 22For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I (Moses or God?)command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave unto Him; 23Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 24Every place upon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the Euphrates River, even unto the uttermost sea shall your border be. 25There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as He has said to you.

26Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28And a curse, if you will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known. 29And it shall come to pass, when the LORD your God has brought you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, by the road westward, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the Arabah opposite Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? 31For you shall pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it. 32And you shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
