¹³^*“So then, obey the commands that I have given you today; love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart. ¹⁴^*If you do, he will send rain on your land when it is needed, in the autumn and in the spring, so that there will be corn, wine, and olive oil for you, ¹⁵^*and grass for your livestock. You will have all the food you want. ¹⁶^*Do not let yourselves be led away from the Lord to worship and serve other gods. ¹⁷^*If you do, the Lord will become angry with you. He will hold back the rain, and your ground will become too dry for crops to grow. Then you will soon die there, even though it is a good land that he is giving you.

¹⁸^*“Remember these commands and cherish them. Tie them on your arms and wear them on your foreheads as a reminder. ¹⁹^*Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are resting and when you are working. ²⁰^*Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates. ²¹Then you and your children will live a long time in the land that the Lord your God promised to give to your ancestors. You will live there as long as there is a sky above the earth.
