and what he did{H6213} unto the army{H2428} of Egypt,{H4714} unto their horses,{H5483} and to their chariots;{H7393} how he made the water{H4325} of the Red{H5488} Sea{H3220} to overflow{H6687} them{H6440} as they pursued{H7291} after{H310} you, and how Jehovah{H3068} hath destroyed{H6} them unto this day;{H3117}

a land{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} careth for:{H1875} the eyes{H5869} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} are always{H8548} upon it, from the beginning{H7225} of the year{H8141} even unto the end{H319} of the year.{H8141}

that I will give{H5414} the rain{H4306} of your land{H776} in its season,{H6256} the former rain{H3138} and the latter rain,{H3138} that thou mayest gather{H622} in thy grain,{H1715} and thy new wine,{H8492} and thine oil.{H3323}

Verse 15

And I will give{H5414} grass{H6212} in thy fields{H7704} for thy cattle,{H929} and thou shalt eat{H398} and be full.{H7646}

Take heed{H8104} to yourselves, lest your heart{H3824} be deceived,{H6601} and ye turn aside,{H5493} and serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} and worship{H7812} them;

Verse 17

and the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} be kindled{H2734} against you, and he shut up{H6113} the heavens,{H8064} so that there shall be no rain,{H4306} and the land{H127} shall not yield{H5414} its fruit;{H2981} and ye perish{H6} quickly{H4120} from off the good{H2896} land{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} giveth{H5414} you.

Verse 18

Therefore shall ye lay up{H7760} these my words{H1697} in your heart{H3824} and in your soul;{H5315} and ye shall bind{H7194} them for a sign{H226} upon your hand,{H3027} and they shall be for frontlets{H2903} between your eyes.{H5869}

Verse 19

And ye shall teach{H3925} them your children,{H1121} talking{H1696} of them, when thou sittest{H3427} in thy house,{H1004} and when thou walkest{H3212} by the way,{H1870} and when thou liest{H7901} down, and when thou risest up.{H6965}

For if ye shall diligently{H8104} keep{H8104} all this commandment{H4687} which I command{H6680} you, to do{H6213} it, to love{H157} Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} to walk{H3212} in all his ways,{H1870} and to cleave{H1692} unto him;

Verse 23

then will Jehovah{H3068} drive out{H3423} all these nations{H1471} from before{H6440} you, and ye shall dispossess{H3423} nations{H1471} greater{H1419} and mightier{H6099} than yourselves.
