Deuteronomy 26
[1] And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy
God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
[2] That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which
thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put
it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose to place his name there.
[3] And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say
unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the
country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. [4] And the
priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the
altar of the LORD thy God. [5] And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD
thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt,
and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and
populous: [6] And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid
upon us hard bondage:
[7] And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our
voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: [8]
And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an
outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with
wonders:
[9] And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even
a land that floweth with milk and honey. [10] And now, behold, I have brought
the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt
set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God: [11] And
thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto
thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is
among you.
[12] When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase
the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the
Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within
thy gates, and be filled;
[13] Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the
hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite,
and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all
thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy
commandments, neither have I forgotten them: [14] I have not eaten thereof in
my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor
given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the
LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
[15] Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people
Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our
fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. [16] This day the LORD thy
God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt
therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
[17] Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his
ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and
to hearken unto his voice:
[18] And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he
hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; [19]
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in
name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy
God, as he hath spoken.
Deuteronomy 27
[1] And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all
the commandments which I command you this day. [2] And it shall be on the day
when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with
plaister: [3] And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when
thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy
God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of
thy fathers hath promised thee.
[4] Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up
these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt
plaister them with plaister.
[5] And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of
stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. [6] Thou shalt build
the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt
offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: [7] And thou shalt offer peace
offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
[8] And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very
plainly.
[9] And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take
heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD
thy God.
[10] Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. [11] And Moses
charged the people the same day, saying, [12] These shall stand upon mount
Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi,
and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
[13] And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher,
and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
[14] And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a
loud voice,
[15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination
unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a
secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. [16] Cursed be he
that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
[17] Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
[18] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
[19] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless,
and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. [20] Cursed be he that lieth
with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the
people shall say, Amen. [21] Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
[22] Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or
the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. [23] Cursed be
he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[24] Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
[25] Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
[26] Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 28
[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:
[2] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou
shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. [3] Blessed shalt thou be in
the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
[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.
[5] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. [6] Blessed shalt thou be when
thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[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.
[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. [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.
[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. [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. [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. [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:
[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.
[15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I
command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and
overtake thee:
[16] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
[17] Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. [18] Cursed shall be the fruit
of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep. [19] Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed
shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[20] The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that
thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until
thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou
hast forsaken me.
[21] The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have
consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. [22] The
LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an
inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with
blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
[23] And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that
is under thee shall be iron.
[24] The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven
shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. [25] The LORD shall
cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way
against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all
the kingdoms of the earth. [26] And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls
of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
[27] The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods,
and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. [28]
The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of
heart:
[29] And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and
thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and
spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. [30] Thou shalt betroth a wife,
and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt
not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the
grapes thereof. [31] Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt
not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face,
and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine
enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. [32] Thy sons and thy
daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and
fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in
thine hand. [33] The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation
which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed
alway: [34] So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou
shalt see.
[35] The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore
botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy
head.
[36] The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee,
unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt
thou serve other gods, wood and stone. [37] And thou shalt become an
astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD
shall lead thee. [38] Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt
gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. [39] Thou shalt plant
vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the
grapes; for the worms shall eat them. [40] Thou shalt have olive trees
throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for
thine olive shall cast his fruit. [41] Thou shalt beget sons and daughters,
but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
[42] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. [43] The
stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt
come down very low.
[44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail.
[45] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee,
and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which
he commanded thee:
[46] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy
seed for ever.
[47] Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; [48] Therefore shalt thou
serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in
thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke
of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
[49] The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the
earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not
understand;
[50] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the
old, nor shew favour to the young: [51] And he shall eat the fruit of thy
cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall
not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or
flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
[52] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced
walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall
besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God
hath given thee.
[53] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and
of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in
the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: [54] So that the
man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward
his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his
children which he shall leave: [55] So that he will not give to any of them of
the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him
in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress
thee in all thy gates. [56] The tender and delicate woman among you, which
would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for
delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her
bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
[57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of
all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall
distress thee in thy gates.
[58] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written
in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD
THY GOD;
[59] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy
seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of
long continuance.
[60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou
wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. [61] Also every sickness, and
every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD
bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. [62] And ye shall be left few in
number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou
wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
[63] And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you
good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you,
and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither
thou goest to possess it.
[64] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the
earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. [65] And among
these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have
rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of
eyes, and sorrow of mind: [66] And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee;
and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
[67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou
shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith
thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. [68]
And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof
I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold
unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
