08:001

All the commandment 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 HaShem swore unto your fathers

08:002

And thou shalt remember all the way which HaShem thy G-d hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that He might afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no

08:003

And He afflicted 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 thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of HaShem doth man live

08:004

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years

08:005

And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so HaShem thy G-d chasteneth thee

08:006

And thou shalt keep the commandments of HaShem thy G-d, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him

08:007

For HaShem thy G-d bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills

08:008

a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey

08:009

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

08:010

And thou shalt eat and be satisfied, and bless HaShem thy G-d for the good land which He hath given thee

08:011

Beware lest thou forget HaShem thy G-d, in not keeping His commandments, and His ordinances, and His statutes, which I command thee this day

08:012

lest when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein

08:013

and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied

08:014

then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget HaShem thy G-d, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage

08:015

who led thee through the great and dreadful wilderness, wherein were serpents, fiery serpents, and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint

08:016

who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might afflict thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end

08:017

and thou say in thy heart: 'My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.

08:018

But thou shalt remember HaShem thy G-d, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day

08:019

And it shall be, if thou shalt forget HaShem thy G-d, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I forewarn you this day that ye shall surely perish

08:020

As the nations that HaShem maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of HaShem your G-d
