* 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 . * And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty #arba #iym # years in the wilderness , to humble thee , and to prove thee , to know what was in thine heart , whether thou wouldest keep his commandments , or no . * And he humbled thee , and suffered thee to hunger , and fed thee with manna , which thou knewest not , neither did thy fathers know ; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only , but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live . * Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee , neither did thy foot swell , these forty #arba #iym # years . * Thou shalt also consider in thine heart , that , as a man chasteneth his son , so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee . * Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God , to walk in his ways , and to fear him . * For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land , a land of brooks of water , of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills ; * A land of wheat , and barley s @#orah #, and vines , and fig trees t @#en #, and pomegranates ; a land of oil olive , and honey ; * A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness , thou shalt not lack any thing in it ; a land whose stones are iron , and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass . * When thou hast eaten and art full , then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee . * Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God , in not keeping his commandments , and his judgments , and his statutes , which I command thee this day : * Lest when thou hast eaten and art full , and hast built goodly houses , and dwelt therein ; * And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply , and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied , and all that thou hast is multiplied ; * Then thine heart be lifted up , and thou forget the LORD thy God , which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt , from the house of bondage ; * Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness , wherein were fiery serpents , and scorpions , and drought tsimma #own #, where there was no water ; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint ; * Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna , which thy fathers knew not , that he might humble thee , and that he might prove thee , to do thee good at thy latter end ; * And thou say in thine heart , My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth . * But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God : for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth , that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers , as it is this day . * 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 . * 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 .
