Deuteronomy 11:11-27 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. But the land you are crossing over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, drinking from the rain of the heavens it drinks in water.

12. It is a land that Adonai your God cares for—the eyes of Adonai your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year up to the end of the year.

13. “Now if you listen obediently to My mitzvot that I am commanding you today—to love Adonai your God and to serve Him with all your heart and soul—

14. then I will give rain for your land in its season—the early rain and the late rain —so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.

15. I will give grass in your field for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

16. Watch yourselves, so your heart is not deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them.

17. Then the anger of Adonai will be kindled against you, so He will shut up the sky so that there will be no rain and the soil will not yield its produce. Then you will perish quickly from the good land Adonai is giving you.

18. “Therefore you are to set these words of Mine in your heart and in your soul. You are to bind them as a sign on your hand, and as frontlets between your eyes.

19. You are to teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.

20. You are to write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

21. so that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied on the land Adonai swore to give to your fathers, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

22. “For if you will diligently keep all this ­mitzvah that I am commanding you to do—to love Adonai your God, to walk in all His ways and to cling to Him—

23. then Adonai will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

24. Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours—from the wilderness to the Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea will be your border.

25. No one will be able to stand against you—Adonai your God will put the fear and dread of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has promised you.

26. “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse—

27. the blessing, if you listen to the mitzvot of Adonai your God that I am commanding you today,
