05:011:002 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children
which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the
LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out
arm,
05:011:003 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of
Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
05:011:004 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses,
and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow
them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them
unto this day;
05:011:005 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came
into this place;
05:011:006 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab,
the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them
up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that
was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
05:011:007 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which
he did.
05:011:008 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;
05:011:009 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.
05:011:010 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:
05:011:011 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of
hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
05:011:012 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.
05:011:013 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,
05:011:014 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.
05:011:015 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that
thou mayest eat and be full.
05:011:016 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived,
and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
05:011:017 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.
05:011:018 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and
in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be
as frontlets between your eyes.
