2 Know this day (C)that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the (a)discipline of the Lord your God—His greatness, His mighty hand and His outstretched arm,
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
2 You must understand today that it is not your children who experienced or saw the discipline of the Lord your God:His greatness, strong hand, and outstretched arm;

3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
3 including: the signs and works that he did within Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to all his land;
4 and what he did to the army of Egypt and to their horses and to their chariots, [and] how he made the water of the {Red Sea} flow over them, {when they pursued after them}, and so Yahweh has destroyed them, {as is the case today},
4 and what He did to Egypt’s army, to its horses and its chariots, (E)when He made the water of the (b)Red Sea to (c)engulf them while they were pursuing you, and the Lord (d)completely destroyed them;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
4 what He did to Egypt’s army, its horses and chariots, when He made the waters of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued you, and He destroyed them(B) completely;(a)
4 what he did to the Egyptian army, its horses and chariots, when he caused the waters of the Reed Sea to engulf them as they pursued you; how the LORD destroyed them, even to this day;
5 and what he did to you in the desert until you came up to this place,
5 and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
5 what He did to you in the wilderness until you reached this place;
5 what he did for you in the desert until you came to this place;
6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth wide and swallowed them, their households and their tents, and all [of] the living creatures that [were] in their possession [and that were] {following along with them} in the midst of all [of] Israel.
6 and (F)what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and (G)every living thing that (e)followed them, among all Israel—
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
6 and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when in the middle of the whole Israelite camp the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing with them.(C)
6 and what he did to Eliab's sons Dathan and Abiram, descendants of Reuben, when the ground opened up and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing belonging to them in the full sight of Israel.

7 but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord which He did.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

7 Your very own eyes saw all the great things that the LORD did."
8 "And you must keep all [of] the commandments that I [am] commanding you {today}, so that you may have strength and [you may] go and [you may] take possession of that land {to which you are crossing} to take possession of it,
8 “You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, (H)so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it;

9 (I)so that you may prolong your days on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their (f)descendants, (J)a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 and so you'll live long in the land that the LORD your God promised by an oath to give your ancestors and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 For the fact is [that] the land {that you are about to go into} to take possession of it [is] not like the land of Egypt, [from] which you have {come out of}, where you sow your seed and you give water by [your] foot, {as in a vegetable garden}.
10 For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your (g)foot like a vegetable garden.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
10 For the land you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated by hand(b) as in a vegetable garden.
10 For the land that you are about to enter to inherit isn't like the land of Egypt that you just left, where you plant a seed and irrigate it with your feet like a vegetable garden.
11 But the land that you [are] about to cross into to take possession of it [is] a land of hills and valleys, [and] by the rain of the heaven it drinks water,
11 But (K)the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven,
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
11 But the land you are entering to possess is a land of mountains and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.
11 Instead, the land that you are crossing over to inherit is a land of hills and valleys that drinks water supplied by rain from heaven,
12 a land that Yahweh your God [is] caring for it; continually the eyes of Yahweh your God [are] on it, from the beginning of the year up to the end of [the] year.
12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; (L)the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the (h)beginning even to the end of the year.
12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for. He is always watching over it from the beginning to the end of the year.
12 a land about which the LORD your God is always concerned, because the eyes of the LORD are continuously on it throughout the entire year."
13 "And it will happen [that] if you listen carefully to my commandments that I [am] commanding you {today}, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all [of] your heart and with all [of] your soul,

14 that (i)(P)He will give the rain for your land in its season, the (j)(Q)early and (k)late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
14 I(c) will provide rain for your land in the proper time, the autumn and spring rains,(d) and you will harvest your grain, new wine, and oil.(E)
14 then he will send rain on the land in its season the early and latter rains then you'll gather grain, new wine, and oil.
16 {Take care} so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them.

16 Be careful! Otherwise, your hearts will deceive you and you will turn away to serve other gods and worship them.
17 And [then] {the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you}, and he will shut up the heavens, 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.
17 Or (U)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will (V)shut up the heavens (W)so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its fruit; and (X)you will perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
17 Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you. He will close the sky, and there will be no rain; the land will not yield its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land(G) the Lord is giving you.
17 The wrath of God will burn against you so that he will restrain the heavens and it won't rain. The ground won't yield its produce and you'll be swiftly destroyed from the good land that the LORD is about to give you.
