13 “And it will happen that if you listen carefully to my commandments that I am commanding you ⌊today⌋,r to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all of your heart and with all of your soul,s 14 then ‘I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil. 15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and ⌊you will eat your fill⌋.’t 16 ⌊Take care⌋u so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them. 17 And then ⌊the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you⌋,v and he will shut up the heavens,w and there shall not be rain, and so the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh is giving to you.

18 “And you shall put these, my words, on your heart and on your inner self,x and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be as an emblem between your eyes. 19 And you shall teach them to your childreny by talking about them when you sit in your house and when you travel on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. 20 And you shall write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates, 21 so that they may multiply your days and the days of your children on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestorsz to give it to them ⌊as long as heaven endures over the earth⌋.a
