Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded ,
saying ,
Keep all these commands ,
all that I command you this day .
*
And it shall come to pass in the day when ye shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God gives thee ,
that thou shalt set up for thyself great stones ,
and shalt plaster them with plaster .
*
And thou shalt write on these stones all the words of this law ,
as soon as ye have crossed Jordan ,
when ye are entered into the land ,
which the Lord God of thy fathers gives thee ,
a land flowing with milk and honey ,
according as the Lord God of thy fathers said to thee .
*
And it shall be as soon as ye are gone over Jordan ,
ye shall set up these stones ,
which I command thee this day ,
on mount Gaebal ,
and thou shalt plaster them with plaster .
*
And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God ,
an altar of stones ;
thou shalt not lift up iron upon it .
*
Of whole stones shalt thou build an altar to the Lord thy God ,
and thou shalt offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord thy God .
*
And thou shalt there offer a peace-offering ;
and thou shalt eat and be filled ,
and rejoice before the Lord thy God .
*
And thou shalt write upon the stones all this law very plainly .
*
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel ,
saying ,
Be silent and hear ,
O Israel ;
this day thou art become a people to the Lord thy God .
*
And thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God ,
and shalt do all his commands ,
and his ordinances ,
as many as I command thee this day .
*
And Moses charged the people on that day ,
saying ,
*
These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan ;
Symeon ,
Levi ,
Judas ,
Issachar ,
Joseph ,
and Benjamin .
*
And these shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal ;
Ruben ,
Gad ,
and Aser ,
Zabulon ,
Dan ,
and Nephthali .
*
And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice ,
*
Cursed is the man whosoever shall make a graven or molten image ,
an abomination to the Lord ,
the work of the hands of craftsmen ,
and shall put it in a secret place :
and all the people shall answer and say ,
So be it .

*
And it shall come to pass ,
if thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God ,
to observe and do all these commands ,
which I charge thee this day ,
that the Lord thy God shall set thee on high above all the nations of the earth ;
*
and all these blessings shall come upon thee ,
and shall find thee .
If thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God ,
*
blessed shalt thou be in the city ,
and blessed shalt thou be in the field .
*
Blessed shall be the offspring of thy (

Gr .
belly (:

body ,
and the fruits of thy land ,
and the herds of thy oxen ,
and the flocks of thy sheep .
*
Blessed shall be thy barns ,
and thy stores .
*
Blessed shalt thou be in thy coming in ,
and blessed shalt thou be in thy going out .
*
The Lord deliver thine enemies that withstand thee utterly broken before thy face :
they shall come out against thee one way ,
and they shall flee seven ways from before thee .
*
The Lord send upon thee his blessing in thy barns ,
and on all on which thou shalt put thine hand ,
in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee .
*
The Lord raise thee up for himself a holy people ,
as he sware to thy fathers ;
if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God ,

thee ,
that the name of the Lord is called upon thee ,
and they shall stand in awe of thee .

And the Lord thy God shall multiply thee for good in the offspring of thy (

Gr .
belly (:

body ,
and in the offspring of thy cattle ,
and in the fruits of thy land ,
on thy land which the Lord sware to thy fathers to give to thee .
*
May the Lord open to thee his good treasure ,
the heaven ,
to give rain to thy land in season :
may he bless all the works of thy hands :
so shalt thou lend to many nations ,
but thou shalt not borrow ;
and thou shalt rule over many nations ,
but they shall not rule over thee .
*
The Lord thy God make thee the head ,
and not the tail ;
and thou shalt then be above and thou shalt not be below ,
if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God ,
in all things that I charge thee this day to observe .
*
Thou shalt not turn aside from any of the commandments ,
which I charge thee this day ,
to the right hand or to the left ,
to go after other gods to serve them .
*
But it shall come to pass ,
if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God ,
to observe all his commandments ,
as many as I charge thee this day ,
then all these curses shall come on thee ,
and overtake thee .
*
Cursed shalt thou be in the city ,
and cursed shalt thou be in the field .
*
Cursed shall be thy barns and thy stores .
*
Cursed shall be the offspring of thy body ,
and the fruits of thy land ,
the herds of thine oxen ,
and the flocks of thy sheep .
*
Cursed shalt thou be in thy coming in ,
and cursed shalt thou be in thy going out .
*
The Lord send upon thee want ,
and famine ,
and consumption of all things on which thou shalt put thy hand ,
until he shall have utterly destroyed thee ,
and until he shall have consumed thee quickly because of thine evil devices ,
because thou hast forsaken me .
*
*
The Lord smite thee with distress ,
and fever ,
and cold ,
and inflammation ,
and blighting ,
and paleness ,
and they shall pursue thee until they have destroyed thee .
*
And thou shalt have over thine head a sky of brass ,
and the earth under thee shall be iron .
*
The Lord thy God make the rain of thy land dust ;
and dust shall come down from heaven ,
until it shall have destroyed thee ,
and until it shall have quickly consumed thee .
*
The Lord give thee up for slaughter before thine enemies :
thou shalt go out against them one way ,
and flee from their face seven ways ;
and thou shalt be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth .
*
And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky ,
and to the beasts of the earth ;
and there shall be none to scare them away .
*
The Lord smite thee with the botch of Egypt in the seat ,
and with a malignant scab ,
and itch ,
so that thou canst not be healed .
*
The Lord smite thee with insanity ,
and blindness ,
and astonishment of mind .
*
And thou shalt grope at mid-day ,
as a blind man would grope in the darkness ,
and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways ;
and then thou shalt be unjustly treated ,
and plundered continually ,
and there shall be no helper .
*
thou shalt take a wife ,
and another man shall have her ;
thou shalt build a house ,
and thou shalt not dwell in it ;
thou shalt plant a vineyard ,
and shalt not gather the grapes of it .
*
Thy calf shall be slain before thee ,
and thou shalt not eat of it ;
thine ass shall be violently taken away from thee ,
and shall not be restored to thee :
thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies ,
and thou shalt have no helper .
*
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another nation ,
and thine eyes wasting away shall look for them :
thine hand shall have no strength .
*
A nation which thou knowest not shall eat the produce of thy land ,
and all thy labours ;
and thou shalt be injured and crushed always .
*
And thou shalt be distracted ,
because of the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see .
*
The Lord smite thee with an evil sore ,
on the knees and the legs ,
so that thou shalt not be able to be healed from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head .
*
The Lord carry away thee and thy princes ,
whom thou shalt set over thee ,
to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers know ;
and thou shalt there serve other gods ,
wood and stone .
*
And thou shalt be there for a wonder ,
and a parable ,
and a tale ,
among all the nations ,
to which the Lord thy God shall carry thee away .
*
Thou shalt carry forth much seed into the field ,
and thou shalt bring in little ,
because the locust shall devour it .
*
Thou shalt plant a vineyard ,
and dress it ,
and shalt not drink the wine ,

it .
*
Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy borders ,
and thou shalt not anoint thee with oil ,

flow ,
or fall down (:

cast its fruit .
*
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters ,
and they shall not be thine ,
for they shall depart into captivity .
*
All thy trees and the fruits of thy land shall the blight consume .
*
The stranger that is within thee shall get up very high ,
and thou shalt come down very low .
*
He shall lend to thee ,
and thou shalt not lend to him :
he shall be the head ,
and thou shalt be the tail .
*
And all these curses shall come upon thee ,
and shall pursue thee ,
and shall overtake thee ,
until he shall have consumed thee ,
and until he shall have destroyed thee ;
because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God ,
to keep his commands ,
and his ordinances which he has commanded thee .
*
And these things shall be signs in thee ,
and wonders among thy seed for ever ;
*
because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with gladness and a good heart ,
because of the abundance of all things .
*
And thou shalt serve thine enemies ,
which the Lord will send forth against thee ,
in hunger ,
and in thirst ,
and in nakedness ,
and in the want of all things ;
and thou shalt wear upon thy neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed thee .
*
The Lord shall bring upon thee a nation from the extremity of the earth ,
like the swift flying of an eagle ,
a nation whose voice thou shalt not (

Gr .

understand ;
*
a nation bold in countenance ,
which shall not (
note :)
Gr .
wonder at (:
note )
respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young .
*
And it shall eat up the young of thy cattle ,
and the fruits of thy land ,
so as not to leave to thee corn ,
wine ,
oil ,
the herds of thine oxen ,
and the flocks of thy sheep ,
until it shall have destroyed thee ;
*
and have utterly crushed thee in thy cities ,
until the high and strong walls be destroyed ,
in which thou trustest ,
in all thy land ;
and it shall afflict thee in thy cities ,
which he has given to thee .
*
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy (

Gr .
belly (:
note )
body ,
the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters ,
all that he has given thee ,
in thy straitness and thy affliction ,
with which thine enemy shall afflict thee .
*
He that is tender and very delicate within thee shall look with an evil eye upon his brother ,
and the wife in his bosom ,
and the children that are left ,
which may have been left to him ;
*
so as not to give to one of them of the flesh of his children ,
whom he shall eat ,
because of his having nothing left him in thy straitness ,
and in thy affliction ,
with which thine enemies shall afflict thee in all thy cities .
*
And she that is tender and delicate among you ,
whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness ,
shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom ,
and her son and her daughter ,
*
and her (

Lit .

note )
offspring that comes out between her feet ,
and the child which she shall bear ;
for she shall eat them because of the want of all things ,
secretly in thy straitness ,
and in thy affliction ,
with which thine enemy shall afflict thee in thy cities .
*
If thou wilt not hearken to do all the words of this law ,
which have been written in this book ,
to fear this glorious and wonderful name ,
the Lord thy God ;
*
then the Lord shall magnify thy plagues ,
and the plagues of thy seed ,
great and wonderful plagues ,
and evil and abiding diseases .
*
And he shall bring upon thee all the evil pain (
note :)
Gr .
which thou feardest before their face ;
Hebraism (:
note )
of Egypt ,
of which thou wast afraid ,
and they shall cleave to thee .
*
And the Lord shall bring upon thee every sickness ,
and every plague that is not written ,
and every one that is written in the book of this law ,
until he shall have destroyed thee .
*
And ye shall be left few in number ,
whereas ye were as the stars of the sky in multitude ;
because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God .
*
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 ye shall be quickly removed from the land ,
into which ye go to inherit it .
*
And the Lord thy God shall scatter thee among all nations ,
from one end of the earth to the other ;
and thou shalt there serve other gods ,
wood and stone ,
which thou hast not known ,
nor thy fathers .
*
Moreover among those nations he will not give thee quiet ,
neither by any means shall the sole of thy foot have rest ;
and the Lord shall give thee there another and a misgiving heart ,
and failing eyes ,
and a wasting soul .
*
And thy life shall be in suspense before thine eyes ;
and thou shalt be afraid by day and by night ,
and thou shalt have no assurance of thy life .
*
In the morning thou shalt say ,
Would it were evening !
and in the evening thou shalt say ,
Would it were morning !
for the fear of thine heart with which thou shalt fear ,
and for the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see .
*
And the Lord shall bring thee back to Egypt in ships ,
by the way of which I said ,
Thou shalt not see it again ;
and ye shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen ,
and none shall buy you .
*
These are the words of the covenant ,
which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab ,
besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb .
