Deuteronomy 28:1–68
28 “Now it shall come to pass, aif you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God bwill set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and covertake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:
3 d“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be ein the country.
4 “Blessed shall be fthe 1fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
5 “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 g“Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The Lord hwill cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 “The Lord will icommand the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you jset your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
9 k“The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are lcalled by the name of the Lord, and they shall be mafraid of you. 11 And nthe Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord 2swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord will open to you His good 3treasure, the heavens, oto give the rain to your land in its season, and pto bless all the work of your hand. qYou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make ryou the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you 4heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 sSo you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 “But it shall come to pass, tif you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 “Cursed shall be the 5fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
19 “Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 “The Lord will send on you ucursing, vconfusion, and wrebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. 21 The Lord will make the 6plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. 22 xThe Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with yscorching, 7and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And zyour heavens which are over …
Deuteronomy 34:1–12
34 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab ato Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, 2 all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the 1Western Sea, 3 the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, bthe city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the Lord said to him, c“This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ dI have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”
5 eSo Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. 6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but fno one knows his grave to this day. 7 gMoses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. hHis 2eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor 3diminished. 8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab ithirty days. So the days of weeping and mourning for Moses ended.
9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the jspirit of wisdom, for kMoses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 But since then there lhas not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, mwhom the Lord knew face to face, 11 in all nthe signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land, 12 and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
Deuteronomy 29:1–29
29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the acovenant which He made with them in Horeb.
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: b“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land—3 cthe great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet dthe Lord has not given you a heart to 1perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 eAnd I have led you forty years in the wilderness. fYour clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 gYou have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, hSihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and igave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore jkeep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may kprosper in all that you do.
10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from lthe one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water—12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and minto His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may nestablish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, ojust as He has spoken to you, and pjust as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 “I make this covenant and this oath, qnot with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, ras well as with him who is not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, 17 and you saw their 2abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, swhose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, tand that there may not be among you a root bearing ubitterness or wormwood; 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I 3follow the vdictates of my heart’—was though the drunkard could be included with the sober.
20 x“The Lord would not spare him; for then ythe anger of the Lord and zHis jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord awould blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord bwould separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the cLaw, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they dsee the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:
