flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. [Ver. 14.] Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. [Ver. 15.] And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. [Ver. 16.] And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods: for that will be a snare unto thee. [Ver. 23.] But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

Chap. viii. ver. 1.] All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land. which the Lord sware unto your fathers. [Ver.19.] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. [Ver. 20.] As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.

Chap. xi. ver. 8.] Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it; [Ver. 9.] And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your

fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. [Ver. 10.] For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: [Ver. 11.] But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven; [Ver. 12.] A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. [Ver. 13.] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul, [Ver. 14.] That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. [Ver. 15.] And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. [Ver. 16.] Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; [Ver. 17.] And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. [Ver. 18.] Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart, &c. [Ver. 21.] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the

་

days of heaven upon the earth. [Ver. 22.] For if ye shall diligently 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 unto him; [Ver. 23.] Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. [Ver. 24.] Every place whereon the souls of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea, shall your coast be. [Ver. 25.] There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. [Ver. 26.] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: [Ver. 27.] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day; [Ver. 28.] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Chap. xv. ver. 4.] For the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it. [Ver. 5.] Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. [Ver. 6.] For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but

they shall not reign over thee. [Ver. 10.] Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

Chap. xvi. ver. 20.] That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Chap. xvii. ver. 19.] And it (viz. the book of the Law, for the king's use) shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: [Ver. 20.] That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Chap. xxviii. ver. 1.] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: [Ver. 2.] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. [Ver. 3.] Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. [Ver. 4.] Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. [Ver. 5.] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. [Ver. 6.] Blessed

shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. [Ver. 7.] The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. [Ver. 8.] The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. [Ver. 9.] The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. [Ver. 10.] And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. [Ver. 11.] And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. [Ver. 12.] The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. [Ver. 13.] And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail, and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command. thee this day, to observe and to do them: [Ver. 14.] And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. [Ver. 15.]
