19. Teach them well to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up.
20. Write them on your doors and gates.
21. Then both you and your children will live a long time in the land. This is the land the Lord promised your ancestors. You will live there for as long as the skies are above the earth.
22. Be careful to obey every command I am giving you to follow. Love the Lord your God. Do what he has told you to do. And be loyal to him.
23. Then the Lord will force all those nations out of the land ahead of you. And you will take the land from nations that are bigger and stronger than you.
24. Everywhere you step will be yours. Your land will go from the desert to Lebanon. And it will go from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25. No one will be able to stop you. The Lord your God will do what he promised. He will make the people afraid everywhere you go.
26. See, today I am letting you choose a blessing or a curse.
27. You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God. I am giving them to you today.
28. But you will be cursed if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God. So do not disobey the commands I am giving you today. Do not worship other gods you do not know.
