- 27:12 'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
- 27:13 And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
- 27:14 'And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel -- a loud voice:
- 27:15 'Cursed [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of YHWH, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, -- and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

- 29:3 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;
- 29:4 and YHWH hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,
- 29:5 and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;
- 29:6 bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I [am] YHWH your God.
- 29:7 'And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon -- also Og king of Bashan -- doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,

- 29:12 for thy passing over into the covenant of YHWH thy God, and into His oath which YHWH thy God is making with thee to-day;

- 29:15 but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before YHWH our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,

- 29:24 yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath YHWH done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?
- 29:25 'And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,
- 29:26 and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them -- gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;
- 29:27 and the anger of YHWH burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,
- 29:28 and YHWH doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as [at] this day.
- 29:29 'The things hidden [are] to YHWH our God, and the things revealed [are] to us and to our sons -- to the age, to do all the words of this law.

DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 30
- Deuteronomy 30:1 'And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither YHWH thy God hath driven thee away,
- 30:2 and hast turned back unto YHWH thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul --
- 30:3 then hath YHWH thy God turned back [to] thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither YHWH thy God hath scattered thee.
- 30:4 'If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth YHWH thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;
- 30:5 and YHWH thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy fathers.
- 30:6 'And YHWH thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love YHWH thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;

- Deuteronomy 30:10 for thou dost hearken to the voice of YHWH thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto YHWH thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
- 30:11 'For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off.
- 30:12 It is not in the heavens, -- saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it -- that we may do it.
- 30:13 And it [is] not beyond the sea, -- saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it -- that we may do it?
- 30:14 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart -- to do it.
- 30:15 'See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,
- 30:16 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love YHWH thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and YHWH thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.
- 30:17 'And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,
- 30:18 I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.
- 30:19 'I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,
- Deuteronomy 30:20 to love YHWH thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'
