Devarim 11:12-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

12. An eretz which Hashem Eloheicha careth for; the eyes of Hashem Eloheicha are always upon it, from the reshit hashanah (beginning of the year) even unto the acharit shanah (end of the year).

13. And it shall come to pass, if ye shall give heed diligently unto My mitzvot which I command you today, to love Hashem Eloheichem, and to serve Him with all your lev and with all your nefesh,

14. That I will give you the matar (rain) of your land in its due season, the yoreh (early rain) and the malkosh (latter rain, spring rain), that thou mayest gather in thy dagan (grain), and thy tirosh (new wine), and thine yitzhar (fresh oil).

15. And I will send esev in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

16. Take heed to yourselves, that your lev be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve elohim acherim, and worship them;

17. And then Hashem's wrath be kindled against you, and He shut up the Shomayim, that there be no matar, and that ha'aretz yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish meherah (quickly) from off ha'aretz hatovah which Hashem giveth you.

18. Therefore shall ye lay up these My devarim in your lev and in your nefesh, and bind them for an ot upon your hand, that they may be as totafos (ornaments, Shemot 13:16, Shabbos 57a) between your eyes.
