You shall love Hashem, your God, and you shall safeguard His charge, His decrees, His ordinances, and His commandments, all the days.
11:1
You should know today that it is not your children who did not know and who did not see the chastisement of Hashem, your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His outstretched arm;
:2
Rather it is your own eyes that see all the great work of Hashem, which He did.
:7
So you shall observe the entire commandment that I command you today, so that you will be strong, and you will come and possess the Land to which you are crossing, to possess it.
:8
But the Land to which you cross over to possess it is a Land of mountains and valleys; from the rain of heaven it drinks water;
:11
a Land that Hashem, your God, seeks out; the eyes of Hashem, your God, are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to year’s end.
:12
It will be that if you hearken to My commandments that I command you today, to love Hashem, your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
:13
Then I shall provide rain for your Land in its proper time, the early and late rains, that you may gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil.
:14
Beware for yourselves, lest your heart be seduced and you turn astray and serve gods of others and prostrate yourselves to them.
:16
You shall place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul; you shall bind them for a sign upon your arm and let them be an ornament between your eyes.
:18
You shall teach them to your children to discuss them, while you sit in your home, while you walk on the way, when you retire and when you arise.
:19
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
:20
For if you will observe this entire commandment that I command you, to perform it, to love Hashem, your God, to walk in all His ways and to cleave to Him,
:22
Hashem will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will drive out greater and mightier nations than yourselves.
:23
Every place where the sole of your foot will tread shall be yours – from the Wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, until the Western Sea shall be your boundary.
:24
No man will stand up against you; Hashem, your God, will set your terror and fear on the entire face of the earth where you will tread, as He spoke to you,
:25
See, I present before you today a blessing and a curse.
:26
The blessing: that you hearken to the commandments of Hashem, your God, that I command you today.
:27
And the curse: if you do not hearken to the commandments of Hashem, your God, and you stray from the path that I command you today, to follow gods of others, that you did not know.
:28
You shall be careful to perform all the decrees and the ordinances that I present before you today.
:32
1 [Therefore] you shall love the Lord, your God, keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments, all the days.
2 And you shall know this day; that [I speak] not with your children, who did not know and who did not see the chastisement of the Lord, your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm,
3 His signs, and His deeds, which He performed in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt and to his entire land,
4 and what He did to the army of Egypt, to its steeds, and to its chariots, that He caused the waters of the Red Sea to inundate them when they pursued you, and the Lord destroyed them, to this day,
5 and what He did for you in the desert, until you arrived at this place,
6 and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, that the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up and their households and their tents, and all the possessions at their feet, in the midst of all Israel.
7 But your eyes, which have seen all the great work of the Lord, which He did.
8 [Therefore] keep all the commandments that I command you this day, in order that you may be strong and come and possess the land to which you are crossing, to possess it,
9 and in order that you may prolong your days on the land that the Lord swore to your forefathers to give to them and to their seed a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 For the land to which you are coming to possess is not like the land of Egypt, out of which you came, where you sowed your seed and which you watered by foot, like a vegetable garden.
11 But the land, to which you pass to possess, is a land of mountains and valleys and absorbs water from the rains of heaven,
12 a land the Lord, your God, looks after; the eyes of Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
13 And it will be, if you hearken to My commandments that I command you this day to love the Lord, your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 I will give the rain of your land at its time, the early rain and the latter rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil.
15 And I will give grass in your field for your livestock, and you will eat and be sated.
16 Beware, lest your heart be misled, and you turn away and worship strange gods and prostrate yourselves before them.
17 And the wrath of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will close off the heavens, and there will be no rain, and the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from upon the good land that the Lord gives you.
18 And you shall set these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand and they shall be for ornaments between your eyes.
19 And you shall teach them to your sons to speak with them, when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way and when you lie down and when you rise.
20 And you shall inscribe them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,
21 in order that your days may increase and the days of your children, on the land which the Lord swore to your forefathers to give them, as the days of heaven above the earth.
22 For if you keep all these commandments which I command you to do them, to love the Lord, your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,
23 then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will possess nations greater and stronger than you.
24 Every place upon which the soles of your feet will tread, will be yours: from the desert and the Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, and until the western sea, will be your boundary.
25 No man will stand up before you; the Lord your God will cast the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land upon which you tread, as He spoke to you.
26 Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse.
27 The blessing, that you will heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today;
28 and the curse, if you will not heed the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn away from the way I command you this day, to follow other gods, which you did not know.
29 And it will be, when the Lord, your God, will bring you to the land to which you come, to possess it, that you shall place those blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and those cursing upon Mount Ebal.
30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, way beyond, in the direction of the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain, opposite Gilgal, near the plains of Moreh?
31 For you are crossing the Jordan, to come to possess the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.
32 And you shall keep to perform all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
