Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30
9 Then pay attention to the Words of this covenant, and do them, that you may
act wisely in all that you do. (Ro 2:13) 10 You are standing today, all of you, before YAHUVEH your Elohim; your rulers,
your tribes, your elders, and your officers, every man of Israel; 11 your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your
camps, from the woodchopper to the one drawing your water; 12 so that you should enter into the covenant of YAHUVEH your Elohim, and into
His oath, which YAHUVEH your Elohim is cutting with you today; 13 so that He may establish you today for a people to Himself, and He Himself be
your Elohim, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to
Abraham to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 And I am not cutting this covenant and this oath with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before YAHUVEH your Elohim; and
also with him that is not here with us today. 16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the
nations through which you passed. 17 And you have seen their detestable things, and their idols of wood and stone,
silver and gold, which were among them; 18 that there not be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart
turns away today from YAHUVEH our Elohim, to go and serve the gods of these
nations; lest there should be among you today a root that bears gall and
wormwood;3 19 and it happens when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless
himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, even though I walk in the
stubbornness of my heart, to snatch away the drunken with the thirsty. 20 YAHUVEH will not be willing to forgive him, for then the anger of YAHUVEH and
His zeal shall smoke, and His zeal shall be against that man, and all the curses
written in this book shall lie upon him. And YAHUVEH shall blot out his name
from under the heavens. (Ex 32:32, Rev 3:5, 20:12,15) 21 And YAHUVEH shall set him apart to evil, out of all the tribes of Israel,
according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the
Torah; 22 so that the generation to come, your sons who rise after you, and the
foreigner who comes in from a distant land, shall say when they see the plagues
of that land, and its sicknesses which YAHUVEH shall send into it, 23 The whole land shall be burned with brimstone and salt; it shall not be sown,
nor shall it sprout; nor shall there be any herb in it. It shall be like the
overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which YAHUVEH overthrew in
His anger and in His fury. 24 And all the nations shall say, Why has YAHUVEH done this to this land? For
what is the heat of this great anger? 25 Then they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of YAHUVEH, the
Elohim of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the
land of Egypt. 26 For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, elohim which they
did not know, and who had not divided to them any portion. 27 And the anger of YAHUVEH was kindled against this land to bring on it all the
curses that are written in this book. 28 And YAHUVEH rooted them out of their land in anger and wrath, and in great
indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. 29 The secret things belong to YAHUVEH our Elohim; and the things revealed
belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the Words of this
Torah. (Pr 25:2)
*~Deuteronomy Chapter 30 ~*
1 And it shall be when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the
curse which I have set before you among all the nations where YAHUVEH your
Elohim shall banish you, you shall bring these things back to your heart; 2 and shall turn back to YAHUVEH your Elohim and listen to His voice, according
to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons with all your heart,
and with all your soul; 3 then YAHUVEH your Elohim will turn your captivity, and He will have pity on
you, and will return and gather you from all the nations where YAHUVEH your
Elohim has scattered you.3 4 If you are cast out to the end of the heavens, YAHUVEH your Elohim shall
gather you from there, and He shall take you from there. 5 And YAHUVEH your Elohim shall bring you into the land which your fathers have
possessed, and you shall inherit it; and He shall do you good and multiply you
above your fathers. 6 And YAHUVEH your Elohim will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your
seed, to love YAHUVEH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul,
that you may live. (Deut 10:16, Ro 2:28-29) 7 And YAHUVEH your Elohim will put all these curses on your enemies, and on
those that hate you, who have persecuted you. 8 And you shall return and obey the voice of YAHUVEH, and do all His
commandments which I am commanding you today. 9 And YAHUVEH your Elohim will make you abundant in every work of your hand, in
the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of
your ground, for good. For YAHUVEH will again rejoice over you for good, as He
rejoiced over your fathers. 10 For you shall listen to the voice of YAHUVEH your Elohim, to keep His
commandments and His statutes which are written in the book of this Torah. For
you shall turn back toward YAHUVEH your Elohim, with all your heart and with all
your soul. 11 For this command which I am commanding you today is not too wonderful for
you, nor is it too far off. 12 It is not in the heavens that you should say, Who shall go up into the
heavens for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, that we may do it? 13 And it is not beyond the sea that you should say, Who shall cross over for us
to the region beyond the sea and take it for us, and cause us to hear it, that
we may do it? 14 For the Word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you
may do it. (Heb 8:10-11) 15 Behold, I have set before you today life and good and death and evil, 16 in that I am commanding you today to love YAHUVEH your Elohim, to walk in His
ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes, and His judgments, and you
shall live and multiply, and YAHUVEH your Elohim shall bless you in the land
where you are going in, to possess it1. 17 But if you turn away your heart, and you do not listen, and are impelled to,
even bow down to other gods, and serve them; 18 I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish. You shall not
prolong your days in the land to which you are crossing the Jordan, to go in
there to possess it. 19 I call Heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before
you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, that you
and your seed may live, 20 to love YAHUVEH your Elohim, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him.
For He is your life, and the length of your days so that you may live in the
land which YAHUVEH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give it to them.
*~Deuteronomy Chapter 31 ~*
1 And Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel. 2 And he said to them, I am a hundred and twenty years old today. I am not able
any more to go out and to come in. And YAHUVEH has said to me, You shall not
cross over this Jordan. (Num 27:12-14) 3 YAHUVEH your Elohim will cross over before you; He shall destroy these nations
from before you, and you shall possess them. Joshua is the one who shall cross
over before you, as YAHUVEH has spoken. 4 And YAHUVEH shall do to them as He has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the
Amorites, and to their land, which He destroyed before them. 5 And YAHUVEH shall give them up before your face, and you shall do to them
according to all the commandment which I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and brave. Do not fear them, or be afraid of them. For YAHUVEH your
Elohim is He who is going with you; He shall not fail you nor forsake you. 7 And Moses called for Joshua, and said to him before the eyes of all Israel, Be
strong and brave, for you shall go in with this people to the land which YAHUVEH
has sworn to their fathers, to give it to them, and you shall cause them to
inherit it. 8 And YAHUVEH is He who is going before you; He Himself shall be with you; He
shall not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be afraid. 9 And Moses wrote this Torah, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi,
those bearing the ark of the covenant of YAHUVEH, and to all the elders of
Israel1. 10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of seven years in the appointed
time, in the year of release, in the Feast of Sukkot, 11 when all Israel comes in to see the face of YAHUVEH in the place which He
chooses2, you shall proclaim this Torah before all Israel, in their ears. 12 Assemble the people, men and women, and the little ones, and your foreigner
who is within your gates, so that they may hear, and so that they may learn, and
may fear YAHUVEH your Elohim, and take heed to do all the Words of this Torah; 13 and their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear YAHUVEH
your Elohim all the days which you live on the land where you are crossing over
the Jordan to possess it. (Deut 4:10, Deut 6:7) 14 And YAHUVEH said to Moses, Behold, your days are coming near to die. Call
Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, and I shall charge him.
And Moses and Joshua went, and they presented themselves at the tent of meeting. 15 And YAHUVEH appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar
of cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. (Ex 33:9) 16 And YAHUVEH said to Moses, Behold, you shall lie with your fathers, and this
people shall rise up and go lusting after the gods of the strangers of the land
into which they are going, and shall forsake Me, and shall break My covenant
which I cut with them. 17 And My anger shall burn against them in that day, and I shall forsake them
and hide My face from them. And it shall be consumed, and many evils and
distresses shall find this people. And it shall say in that day, Is it not
because my Elohim is not in my midst, that these evils have found me? 18 And hiding I will hide My face in that day, because of all the evil which
this people has done, for it shall turn to other gods. 19 Now, then, write this song for you, and teach it to the sons of Israel. Put
it in their mouths, so that this song shall be for a witness to Me against the
sons of Israel. 20 And I shall bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I
have sworn to their fathers. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and become fat,
and shall turn to other gods; and they shall serve them, and despise Me, and
break My covenant. 21 And it shall be, when many evils and distresses have found them, this song
shall testify against them as a witness. For it shall not be forgotten out of
the mouths of their seed. For I know their scheme, which they are making today,
before I bring them into the land which I have sworn. 22 And Moses wrote this song on that day, and taught it to the sons of Israel. 23 And He commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and brave; for
you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them, and
I shall be with you. 24 And it happened, when Moses finished writing, until their completion, all the
Words of this Torah in a book, 25 that Moses commanded the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of YAHUVEH,
saying, 26 Take this book of the Torah, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of
the covenant of YAHUVEH your Elohim, so that it may be there for a witness
against you. 27 For I have known your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet
alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against YAHUVEH. And how much
more after my death! 28 Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, and I shall
speak in their ears these words, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify
against them. 29 For I know that after my death you shall utterly corrupt yourselves, and will
turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil shall happen to you
in the latter end of the days because you shall do evil in the eyes of YAHUVEH,
to make Him angry with the work of your hands. 30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this
song, until their conclusion:
