Keeping you shall keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.

When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances which Jehovah your God has commanded you?

And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God for our good forever, to keep us alive, as today.

And it shall be righteousness for us when we take heed to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He has commanded us.

When Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land to which you are going, to possess it, and He casts out many nations from before you, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and theCanaanites, and the Perizzites, and theHivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations larger and mightier than you;

and when Jehovah your God shall give them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them; you shall not cut a covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;

For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. Jehovah your God has chosen you to be His own treasure out of all the people on the face of the earth.

Because of this, know that Jehovah your God, He is God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commands, to a thousand generations;

And it shall be, because you hear judgments, and keep and do them, even Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers.

And you shall destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God is giving to you. And your eye shall have no pity on them; and you shall not serve their gods; for it shall be a snare to you.

the great trials which your eyes have seen, and the miracles, and the wonders and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm with which Jehovah your God has brought you out. So Jehovah your God shall do to all the peoples of whose face youare afraid.

And Jehovah your God shall send the hornets among them, until the ones who are left perish, even those who hide themselves from your face.

You shall not tremble before them, for Jehovah your God is among you, a mighty and fearful God.

And Jehovah your God will clear out those nations before you by little and little. You may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon you.

And Jehovah your God shall deliver them up before you, and destroy them with a great destruction until they are exterminated.

And you shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, to try you, to know that which is in your heart, whether you will keep His commandments or not.

And you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, Jehovah your God disciplines you.

And you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

For Jehovah your God brings you into a good land, a land of streams of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills,
