1 And it shall be, when you have come into the land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
is giving to you as an inheritance, and you have possessed it, and live in it; 2 then you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you
shall bring in from your land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is giving to you, and
shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
shall choose to cause His name to dwell there (Jerusalem). 3 And you shall come to the priest who is in those days, and shall say to him, I
declare today to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM that I have come into the land which
YAHUVEH has sworn to our fathers to give to us. 4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and place it before the
altar of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 5 And you shall speak and say before YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, My father was a
perishing Aramean! And he went down to Egypt with few men, and lived there, and
became a nation there, great, mighty and many. 6 And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and put hard labor on
us. 7 And we cried to YAHUVEH, the ELOHIM of our fathers, and YAHUVEH heard our
voice, and saw our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression. 8 And YAHUVEH brought us out from Egypt by a mighty hand, and by an arm
stretched out, and by great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders. 9 And He has brought us to this place, and has given to us this land, a land
flowing with milk and honey. 10 And now, behold, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground
which You have given me, O YAHUVEH. And you shall place it before YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM, and bow yourself before YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, 11 and rejoice in all the good which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM has given to you, and
to your house, you, and the Levite, and the alien who is in your midst. 12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the
third year, the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the alien, the
orphan, and the widow, that they may eat inside your gates, and be filled, 13 then you shall say before YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, I have consumed the devoted
things from the house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the alien,
to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Your command which You have
commanded me. I have not transgressed Your commands, and I have not forgotten. 14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning; nor have I put any of it away for
uncleanness; nor have I given of it for the dead. I have listened to the voice
of YAHUVEH my ELOHIM. I have done according to all that You have commanded me. 15 Look down from Your holy habitation, from Heaven, and bless Your people
Israel, and the land which You have given to us, as You swore to our fathers, a
land flowing with milk and honey. 16 Today YAHUVEH your ELOHIM commands you to do these statutes and judgments.
You shall be careful to do them with all your heart, and with all your soul. 17 You have today declared YAHUVEH to be your ELOHIM, and to walk in His ways,
and to keep His statutes and His commandments, and His judgments, and to pay
attention to His voice. 18 And YAHUVEH has declared you today to be His people, a special treasure as He
has spoken to you, and to keep all His commandments. 19 And He will make you high above all nations that He has made, in praise, and
in name, and in glory; and that you may be a holy people to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM,
as He has spoken.
*~Deuteronomy Chapter 27 ~*
1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the
commands which I am commanding you today, 2 and it shall be in the day you cross over the Jordan to the land which YAHUVEH
your ELOHIM is giving to you, that you shall raise up for yourself great stones,
and plaster them with plaster. 3 And you shall write on them all the Words of this Torah when you have crossed
over, so that you may go into the land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is giving you,
a land flowing with milk and honey, as YAHUVEH the ELOHIM of your fathers has
promised you. 4 And it shall be when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall raise up
these stones as to which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you shall
plaster them with plaster. 5 And you shall build an altar there to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, an altar of stones.
You shall not wield any iron tool on them. 6 You shall build the altar of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM of uncut stones. And you
shall offer burnt offerings on it to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 7 And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there. And you shall
rejoice before YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 8 And you shall write on the stones all the Words of the Torah very plainly. 9 And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep
silence, and hear, O Israel: Today you have become the people of YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM and do His
commandments and His statutes which I command you today. 11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12 These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people when you have crossed
over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and
Benjamin. 13 And these shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and
Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 And the Levites shall answer, and shall say to all the men of Israel with a
loud voice: 15 Cursed is the man who makes a carved and cast image, an abomination to
YAHUVEH, the work of a crafts-man’s hands, and who sets it up in a secret place!
And all the people shall answer and say, Amen! 16 Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother! And all the people shall
say, Amen! 17 Cursed is he who removes his neighbor’s landmark! And all the people shall
say, Amen! 18 Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the way! And all the people
shall say, Amen! 19 Cursed is he who perverts the judgment of the alien, the fatherless, and
widow! And all the people shall say, Amen! 20 Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he uncovers his
father’s skirt! And all the people shall say, Amen! 21 Cursed is he who lies with any kind of animal! And all the people shall say,
Amen! 22 Cursed is he who lies with his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s
daughter! And all the people shall say, Amen! 23 Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law! And all the people shall say,
Amen! 24 Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor secretly! And all the people shall say,
Amen! 25 Cursed is he who takes a bribe to strike a life, to shed innocent blood! And
all the people shall say, Amen! 26 Cursed is he who does not carry out to do all the Words of this Torah, to do
them! And all the people shall say, Amen! ( Gal 3:10)
*~Deuteronomy Chapter 28 ~*
1 And it shall be if carefully you will listen to the voice of YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM, taking heed to do all His commandments which I command you this day,
YAHUVEH your ELOHIM shall give you to be on high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you if you will listen
to the voice of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field. 4 The fruit of your body shall be blessed, and the fruit of your ground, and the
fruit of your livestock, the offspring of your oxen, and the young ones of your
flock. 5 Your basket and your kneading-trough shall be blessed. 6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go
out. 7 YAHUVEH shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be stricken
before your face. They shall come out against you one way, and flee before you
seven ways. 8 YAHUVEH shall command the blessing on you in your storehouses and all that you
set your hand to. And He shall bless you in the land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
is giving to you. 9 YAHUVEH shall establish you a holy people to Himself, as He has sworn to you,
if you shall keep the commandments of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM and walk in His ways. 10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of
YAHUVEH, and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And YAHUVEH shall prosper you in goods, and in the fruit of your body, and in
the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground in the land which
YAHUVEH swore to your fathers to give it to you. 12 YAHUVEH shall open to you His good treasure, the heavens to give the rain to
your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall
lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And YAHUVEH shall make you the head, and not the tail. And you shall be only
above, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the command-ments of YAHUVEH
your ELOHIM, which I am commanding you today, to be watchful to do them. 14 And you shall not turn away from all the Words which I am commanding you
today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods, to serve them. 15 And it shall be, if you will not heed the voice of your ELOHIM, to take heed
to do all His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today,
even all these curses shall come on you and overtake you: 16 You shall be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field. 17 Your basket and your kneading-trough shall be cursed. 18 The fruit of your body shall be cursed, and the fruit of your land, the
offspring of your oxen, and the young ones of your sheep. 19 You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you go
out. 20 YAHUVEH shall send cursing on you, trouble and rebuke in all that you set
your hand, all which you will do, until you are destroyed, or until you quickly
perish, because of the badness of your doings by which you have forsaken Me. 21 YAHUVEH shall make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from off
the land where you are going, to possess it. 22 YAHUVEH shall strike you with lung disease and with a fever, and with an
inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting
and mildew. And they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And your heavens over your head shall become bronze, and the earth under you
iron. 24 YAHUVEH shall make the rain of your land be dust and ashes. It shall come
down on you from the heavens until you are destroyed. 25 YAHUVEH shall cause you to be stricken before your enemies. You shall go out
one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And you shall be a
trembling to all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And your body shall be food to all the birds of the heavens, and to the
beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to cause them to tremble. 27 YAHUVEH shall strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and with hemorrhoids, and
with the scab, and with itch, of which you cannot be healed. 28 YAHUVEH shall strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with
astonishment of heart. 29 And you shall grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness. And you shall
not prosper in your ways. And you shall be always oppressed and plundered all
the days; and there will be no one to save. 30 You shall betroth a wife, and another shall lie with her. You shall build a
house, and you shall not live in it. You shall plant a vineyard, and shall not
use its fruit. 31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it.
Your donkey shall be violently taken away from before you, and it will not be
given back. Your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no
deliverer. 32 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes
shall look and fail for them all the day. And no power shall be in your hand. 33 The fruit of your ground, and all your labor, shall be eaten up by a nation
which you do not know. And you shall always be oppressed and crushed. 34 And you shall be maddened because of that which you shall see with the sight
of your eyes. 35 YAHUVEH shall strike you with an evil boil on the knees, and on the legs, of
which you cannot be healed from the sole of your foot even to your crown. 36 YAHUVEH shall cause you and your king whom you shall raise up over you, to go
to a nation which you have not known, you and your fathers. And you shall serve
other gods there, wood and stone. 37 And you shall be an astonishment, a proverb and a byword among all the
peoples where YAHUVEH shall lead you. 38 You shall carry much seed out to the field, and you shall gather in little;
for the locusts will devour it. 39 You shall plant vineyards, and shall labor, and you shall not gather, nor
drink wine; for the worm will devour it. 40 You shall have olive trees in all your border, and you shall not anoint with
oil; for your olive shall fall off. 41 You shall father sons and daughters, and they shall not be with you; for they
shall go into captivity. 42 The locust shall possess all your trees and the fruit of your ground. 43 The alien in your midst shall go above you, higher and higher; and you shall
come down, lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him. He shall be the head,
and you shall be the tail. 45 And all these curses shall come on you and shall pursue you and overtake you,
until you are destroyed; for you did not heed the voice of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM,
to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46 And they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed
forever, 47 because you did not serve YAHUVEH your ELOHIM with joyfulness and with
gladness of heart for the abundance of all things, 48 and you shall serve your enemies whom YAHUVEH shall send on you, in hunger,
and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things. And He shall put an
iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 YAHUVEH shall raise a nation against you from afar, from the end of the
earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you will not understand, 50 a nation fierce of face, who will not regard the person of the aged, nor show
favor to the young. 51 And he shall eat the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of your land,
until you are destroyed. He shall not leave to you grain, new wine, and oil,
offspring of your oxen, or young ones of your flock, until he has destroyed you. 52 And he shall lay siege to you in all your gates, until your high and
fortified walls in which you are trusting come down, in all your land; yea, he
shall distress you in all your gates, in all your land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
has given to you. 53 And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and your
daughters whom YAHUVEH your ELOHIM has given to you, in the siege, and in the
anguish with which your enemies shall distress you. 54 The man who is tender and very delicate among you, his eye shall be evil
against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant
of his sons which he leaves, 55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons that he
shall eat, because he has nothing left to him in the siege, and in the anguish
with which your enemies shall distress you in all your gates. 56 The soft and delicate woman among you, who would not have ventured to set the
sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be
evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her
daughter; 57 and against her fetus which comes out from between her feet, even against her
sons whom she shall bear. For she shall eat them in secret, for the lack of
everything in the siege and in the anguish with which the enemy shall distress
you within your gates. 58 If you will not take heed to do all the Words of this Torah, written in this
book, to fear this glorious and fearful Name, YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, 59 then YAHUVEH will make your plagues remarkable, and the plagues of your
children shall be great and persistent plagues with evil and long lasting
sicknesses. 60 He shall also bring on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were
afraid; and they shall cling to you. 61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this
Torah, YAHUVEH shall cause them to come on you until you are destroyed. 62 And you shall be left with few adult men, whereas you were as the stars of
the heavens for multitude, because you would not obey the voice of YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM. 63 And it shall be, as YAHUVEH rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply
you, so YAHUVEH shall rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste. And
you shall be plucked from the land you are going to possess. 64 And YAHUVEH shall scatter you among all people, from one end of the earth
even to the other, and you shall serve other gods there, wood and stone, which
you have not known, nor your fathers. 65 And among these nations you shall find no ease, nor shall the sole of your
foot have rest. But YAHUVEH shall give you there a trembling heart and failing
of eyes, and sorrow of mind. 66 And your life shall be in doubt before you, and you shall fear day and night,
and shall have no assurance of your life. 67 In the morning you shall say, Oh that it were evening! And in the evening you
shall say, Oh that it were morning! For the fear of your heart with which you
fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. 68 And YAHUVEH shall bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which
I said to you, You shall never see it again. And you shall be sold to your
enemies there, for male slaves and slave-girls; and there shall be no buyer.
*~Deuteronomy Chapter 29 ~*
1 These are the Words of the covenant which YAHUVEH commanded Moses to cut with
the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with
them in Horeb. 2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that
YAHUVEH did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his
servants, and to all his land. 3 Your eyes have seen the great trials, the signs, and those great miracles. 4 Yet YAHUVEH has not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to
hear, until this day. 5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments have not worn
out from off you, and your sandal has not worn away off your foot. 6 You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or fermented drink, so
that you might know that I am YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 7 And you came into this place, and Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king
of Bashan, came out to meet us, to battle. And we struck them, 8 and took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to
the Gadites, and for the half tribe of Manasseh.
