Deuteronomy 11

1 An exhortation to obedience, 2 by their own experience of God's great works, 8 by promise of God's great blessings, 16 and by threatenings. 13 A careful study is required in God's Words. 26 The blessing and curse is set before them.

 11:1 “You shall therefore love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and always 3605 3117 keep 8104 His charge 4931, His statutes 2708, His ordinances 4941, and His commandments 4687.

 11:2 “Know 3045 this day 3117 that I [am] not [speaking] with your sons 1121 who 834 have not known 3045 and who 834 have not seen 7200 the discipline 4148 of the LORD 3068 your God 430—His greatness 1433, His mighty 2389 hand 3027 and His outstretched 5186 arm 2220,

 11:3 and His signs 226 and His works 4639 which 834 He did 6213a in the midst 8432 of Egypt 4714 to Pharaoh 6547 the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and to all 3605 his land 776;

 11:4 and what 834 He did 6213a to Egypt’s 4714 army 2428, to its horses 5483b and its chariots 7393, when 834 He made the water 4325 of the Red 5488 3220 Sea 3220 to engulf 6687 them while they were pursuing 7291 you, and the LORD 3068 completely 5704 3117 2088 destroyed 6 them;

 11:5 and what 834 He did 6213a to you in the wilderness 4057b until 5704 you came 935 to this 2088 place 4725;

 11:6 and what 834 He did 6213a to Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48, the sons 1121 of Eliab 446, the son 1121 of Reuben 7205, when the earth 776 opened 6475 its mouth 6310 and swallowed 1104 them, their households 1004, their tents 168, and every 3605 living 3351 thing 3351 that followed 7272 them, among 7130 all 3605 Israel 3478—

 11:7 but your own eyes 5869 have seen 7200 all 3605 the great 1419 work 4639 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He did 6213a.

 11:8 ¶ “You shall therefore keep 8104 every 3605 commandment 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, so 4616 that you may be strong 2388 and go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 into which 834 you are about to cross 5674a to possess 3423 it;

 11:9 so that you may prolong 748 [your] days 3117 on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1 to give 5414 to them and to their descendants 2233, a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.

 11:10 “For the land 776, into which 834 you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it, is not like the land 776 of Egypt 4714 from which 834 you came 3318, where 834 you used to sow 2232 your seed 2233 and water 8248 it with your foot 7272 like a vegetable 3419 garden 1588.

 11:11 “But the land 776 into which 834 you are about to cross 5674a to possess 3423 it, a land 776 of hills 2022 and valleys 1237, drinks 8354 water 4325 from the rain 4306 of heaven 8064,

 11:12 a land 776 for which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 cares 1875; the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 are always 8548 on it, from the beginning 7225 even to the end 319 of the year 8141.

 11:13 ¶ “It shall come 1961 about, if 518 you listen 8085 obediently 8085 to my commandments 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 and to serve 5647 Him with all 3605 your heart 3824 and all 3605 your soul 5315,

 11:14 that He will give 5414 the rain 4306 for your land 776 in its season 6256, the early 3138 and late 4456 rain 3138 4456, that you may gather 622 in your grain 1715 and your new 8492 wine 8492 and your oil 3323.

 11:15 “He will give 5414 grass 6212a in your fields 7704 for your cattle 929, and you will eat 398 and be satisfied 7646.

 11:16 “Beware 8104 that your hearts 3824 are not deceived 6601b, and that you do not turn 5493 away 5493 and serve 5647 other 312 gods 430 and worship 7812 them.

 11:17 “Or the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 will be kindled 2734 against you, and He will shut 6113 up the heavens 8064 so that there will be no 3808 rain 4306 and the ground 127 will not yield 5414 its fruit 2981; and you will perish 6 quickly 4120 from the good 2896a land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 is giving 5414 you.

 11:18 ¶ “You shall therefore impress 7760 these 428 words 1697 of mine on your heart 3824 and on your soul 5315; and you shall bind 7194 them as a sign 226 on your hand 3027, and they shall be as frontals 2903 on your forehead 996 5869.

 11:19 “You shall teach 3925 them to your sons 1121, talking 1696 of them when you sit 3427 in your house 1004 and when you walk 1980 along the road 1870 and when you lie 7901 down 7901 and when you rise 6965 up.

 11:20 “You shall write 3789 them on the doorposts 4201 of your house 1004 and on your gates 8179,

 11:21 so 4616 that your days 3117 and the days 3117 of your sons 1121 may be multiplied 7235a on the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to your fathers 1 to give 5414 them, as long 3117 as the heavens 8064 [remain] above 5921 the earth 776.

 11:22 “For if 518 you are careful 8104 to keep 8104 all 3605 this 2088 commandment 4687 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you to do 6213a, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430, to walk 1980 in all 3605 His ways 1870 and hold 1692 fast 1692 to Him,

 11:23 then the LORD 3068 will drive 3423 out all 3605 these 428 nations 1471 from before 4480 6440 you, and you will dispossess 3423 nations 1471 greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than 4480 you.

 11:24 “Every 3605 place 4725 on which 834 the sole 3709 of your foot 7272 treads 1869 shall be yours; your border 1366 will be from the wilderness 4057b to Lebanon 3844, [and] from the river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578, as far 5704 as the western 314 sea 3220.

 11:25 “No 3808 man 376 will be able to stand 3320 before 6440 you; the LORD 3068 your God 430 will lay 5414 the dread 6343 of you and the fear 4172 of you on all 3605 the land 776 on which 834 you set 1869 foot 1869, as He has spoken 1696 to you.

 11:26 ¶ “See 7200, I am setting 5414 before 6440 you today 3117 a blessing 1293 and a curse 7045:

 11:27 the blessing 1293, if 834 you listen 8085 to the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117;

 11:28 and the curse 7045, if 518 you do not listen 8085 to the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, but turn 5493 aside 5493 from the way 1870 which 834 I am commanding 6680 you today 3117, by following 1980 310 other 312 gods 430 which 834 you have not known 3045.

 11:29 ¶ “It shall come 1961 about, when 3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 brings 935 you into the land 776 where 834 8033 you are entering 935 to possess 3423 it, that you shall place 5414 the blessing 1293 on Mount 2022 Gerizim 1630 and the curse 7045 on Mount 2022 Ebal 5858c.

 11:30 “Are they not across 5676 the Jordan 3383, west 310 of the way 1870 toward the sunset 8121 3996, in the land 776 of the Canaanites 3669a who live 3427 in the Arabah 6160, opposite 4136 Gilgal 1537, beside 681a the oaks 436 of Moreh 4176?

 11:31 “For you are about to cross 5674a the Jordan 3383 to go 935 in to possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you, and you shall possess 3423 it and live 3427 in it,

 11:32 and you shall be careful 8104 to do 6213a all 3605 the statutes 2706 and the judgments 4941 which 834 I am setting 5414 before 6440 you today 3117.
