The Fifth Book of Moses: Deuteronomy

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 8 -

1
All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;
2
and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH 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 keep His commands or not.
3
And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.
4
Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,
5
and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,
6
and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
7
For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;
8
a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
9
a land in which you eat bread without scarcityyou do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.
10
And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.
11
Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
12
lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],
13
and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,
14
and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
15
who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;
16
who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;
17
and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.
18
And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.
19
And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.
20
As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
1
You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
2
You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
3
He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the LORD’s mouth.
4
Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5
You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
6
You shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7
For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
9
a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10
You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
11
Beware lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
12
lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
13
and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14
then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15
who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
16
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
17
and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
18
But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19
It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
20
As the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice.
