so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;

So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;

for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, - lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.

so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;

So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, - for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive as at this day;

for he will turn aside thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, - so shall the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you, and he will destroy thee, speedily.

So then, thou must know that, Yahweh thy God, he, is God, - the faithful GOD, keeping his covenant and his lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations

So shalt thou keep the commandment and the statutes and the regulations, which I am commanding thee to-day, to do them.

the great provings which thine own eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the firm hand and the stretched-out arm, wherewith Yahweh thy God brought thee forth, - so, will Yahweh thy God do unto all the peoples, before whom thou art afraid.

So will Yahweh thy God, clear away these nations from before thee little by little, - thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the wild beast of the field should multiply ever thee.

and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and so become devoted to destruction, like it, thou shalt, abhor, it, and thou shalt, loathe it, because a thing devoted to destruction, it is.

So then, thou shalt remember all the way in which Yahweh thy God caused thee to journey these forty years in the desert, - that he might humble time to put thee to the proof to know what was in thy heart, - whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.

So he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna which thou hadst not known, neither had thy fathers' known, - that he might lead thee to consider that not on bread alone, shall the son of earth live, but on whatsoever cometh from the bidding of Yahweh, shall the son of earth live.

So then thou shalt eat and be satisfied, - and bless Yahweh thy God, for the good land which he hath given unto thee.

Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh thy God, - so as not to keep his commandments and his regulations and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day;

and so thy heart be lifted up, - and thou forget Yahweh thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants;

But thou shalt remember Yahweh thy God, that it was, he, who had been giving thee strength to get wealth, - that so he might establish his covenant which he sware to thy fathers as at this day.

like the nations which, Yahweh, is causing to perish from before you, so, shall ye perish, because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God.

So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, - so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.

So then, thou must consider that, not for thine own righteousness, is Yahweh thy God giving unto thee this good land to possess it, - for a stiff-necked people, thou art.
