Deuteronomy 11:16-25 - Exhortation To Instruction And Obedience

16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, - and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them. 17 So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that them should he no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, - so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.

18 Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, - and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes; 19 and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, - when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up; 20 and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates: 21 that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon rite soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, - like the days of the heavens upon the earth. 22 For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, - to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him, 23 then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, - and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye: 24 every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, - from the desert and the Lebanon from the river - the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary. 25 No man shall stand before you, - the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.
