You are to love Adonoy, your God, and you are to guard His watch, and His statutes, and His laws, and His commandments, all the years.

Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.

And you shall love the L-rd your G-d, and you shall keep His keeping and His statutes and His judgments and His mitzvoth all of the days.

You will know today that not with your children who have not known and who have not seen the teaching of Adonoy, your God—His greatness, His powerful hand and His extended arm,

And know this day: for I speak not with your children who have not known, and have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched-out arm,

And you shall know this day [Give heart to know and to understand and to accept my reproof], for it is not [with] your children [that I speak now], who did not know and who did not see the chastisement of the L-rd your G-d, His greatness, His strong hand, and His outstretched arm,

and His signs and His deeds that He performed within Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his entire land;

and his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Miżrayim to Par῾o the king of Miżrayim, and to all his land;

And His signs and His deeds which He wrought in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land,

And what He did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and to its chariots—that He flooded the waters of Yam Suf over them when they were chasing you—Adonoy destroyed them until this day;

and what he did to the army of Miżrayim, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Sea of Suf overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord destroyed them unto this day;

And what He wrought to the host of Egypt, to his horses and to his chariots, flooding the waters of the Red Sea over their faces when they pursued you (and the L-rd caused them to go lost until this day),

And what He did for you in the wilderness, until you arrived at this place;

and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;

And what He wrought for you in the desert until you came to this place,

And what He did to Dosson and to Avirom sons of Eli’ov son of Re’uven, that the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their families and their tents and all the sustenance at their feet amid all of Yisroel.

and what he did to Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eli᾽av, the son of Re᾽uven: how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that followed them, in the midst of all Yisra᾽el:

And what He wrought against Dathan and Aviram the sons of Eliav the son of Reuven, the earth opening its mouth and swallowing them and their houses, and their tents, and all of the wealth at their feet in the midst of all of Israel [Wherever one of them would flee, the earth would split beneath him and swallow him] —

Rather your eyes have been witnessing the entire overwhelming activity of Adonoy that He has performed.

but your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.

("It is not with your children, who did not know, etc." (2), with whom I speak now,) but [with you,] whose eyes have seen the entire great deed of the L-rd, that He has wrought.

You will guard the entire mitzvah that I am commanding you today, in order that you be encouraged and will arrive in, and inherit the land that you are crossing over there to inherit.

Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, into which you go to possess it;

And you shall keep the entire mitzvah that I command you this day, so that you be strengthened and come and inherit the land whither you are crossing to inherit it.

And in order that you will last long on the land that Adonoy swore to your forefathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing milk and honey.

and that you may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

And so that you prolong days on the land that the L-rd swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing milk and honey.

For the land where you are arriving to inherit is not like the land of Egypt from which you departed, where you planted your seed and watered [it] on foot like a vegetable garden.

For the land, into which thou goest to possess it, is not as the land of Miżrayim, from whence you came out, where thou didst sow thy seed, and didst water it with thy foot, like a garden of vegetables:

For [(as they were assured when they left Egypt)] the land whither you are coming to inherit it is not like the land of Egypt [Ramses, the very best of the land of Egypt], from which you went forth, [but it is superior even to Ramses], where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot [i.e., You had to go by foot to bring water from the Nile to water your land], as [it is necessary to do with] a garden of herbs, [rain alone not sufficing for it],

Rather, the land where you are crossing to inherit is a land of mountains and plains—by the rain of the skies will you drink water.

but the land, into which you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven:

But the land whither you are crossing to inherit it is a land of mountains and plains, [(yet you may sleep soundly there. For unlike Egypt, where you had to carry water from the low places to the high, in Eretz Yisrael the Holy One Blessed be He waters everything, high and low, seen and unseen, alike)] — From the rain of the heavens you will drink water.

A land that Adonoy, your God, looks after; the eyes of Adonoy, your God, are always upon it, from the year’s beginning until the year’s end.

a land which the Lord thy God cares for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

A land which the L-rd your G-d inquires after, [(the allotment for other lands depending upon this "inquiry")]. Always, the eyes of the L-rd your G-d are in it [for the ascertainment of its needs and for the making of decrees (sometimes for the good, sometimes otherwise)], from the beginning of the year until the end of the year. [On Rosh Hashanah the land is judged for what is to transpire in it until the end of the year.]

Should you thoroughly heed My commandments that I am commanding you today—to love Adonoy, your God, and to serve Him with all your desires and with your entire beings,

And it shall come to pass, if you hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

And it shall be [i.e., "From the rain of the heavens you will drink water" (11)] if you hearken, hearken [(i.e., If you hearken to the old, you will "hear" the new)] to My mitzvoth which I command you this day [(They should be "new" to you, as if you had heard them "this day")], to love the L-rd your G-d [(Do not study in order to be rich or honored or rewarded; but do all out of love, and the rest is bound to come)], and to serve Him with all your [(plural)] heart ["service of the heart," i.e., prayer], and with all your [(plural)] soul [(an exhortation to the community; verse 6:5 is an exhortation to the individual)],

I will provide the rain of your land in its time, fall rain and spring rain, and you will harvest your grain and your wine and your olive oil.

that I will give you the rain of your land in its due season, the early rain and the late rain, that thou mayst gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil.

Then I shall give the rain of your land [(You, doing what is yours, I shall do what is Mine)] in its (proper) time [(at night, so as not to incommode you)], the yoreh, [the rain which falls after sowing, which "saturates" (marveh) the ground], and the malkosh, [the "latter" rain, which falls before the harvest to ripen the grain], and you [and not your foes] will gather in your corn, and your wine and your oil.

And I will provide grass in your field for your animals, and you will eat and be full.

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayst eat and be full.

And I shall give grass in your field to your beasts [(You will not need to lead them to other fields)]; and you will eat and you will be sated [(Your bread will be "blessed" in your stomach.)]

Look out for yourselves lest your heart be misled and you turn away and serve other gods and bow to them,

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

Take heed unto yourselves lest [eating and being sated] your hearts be enticed, [one rebelling against the L-rd only out of satiety (see 8:12-14)], and you go astray, [separating yourselves from the Torah], and [as a result] you [come to] serve other gods, ["others," i.e., "strangers," to those who serve them — being cried out to and not answering], and you bow down to them.

And Adonoy’s anger will be aroused against you, and He will restrain the skies and there will be no rain, and the soil will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly be removed from upon the good land that Adonoy is giving you.

and then the Lord’s anger be inflamed against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord gives you.

And the wrath of the L-rd will burn against you, and He will hold back the heavens and there will not be rain, and the ground will not yield [even] yevulah [what you bring (movil) to it], and [in addition to all of the other afflictions], you will go lost quickly [into exile] from the good land that the L-rd gives you, [the fatness of the land having caused you to sin. ("quickly"): unlike the generation of the flood, which was given a grace period; for you had from whom to learn, whereas they did not.]

You are to place these words of Mine on your mind and on your being, and bind them as a sign on your hand and they will be totafos on your head;

And you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they will be as frontlets between your eyes.

And you shall place these, My words, upon your heart and upon your souls [(Even after you are exiled, be distinctive with mitzvoth: Put on tefillin, affix mezuzoth, so that they not be new to you when you return)]. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand and they shall be frontlets between your eyes.

And you are to teach them to your sons to speak in them when you sit at home, and when you journey on the road, and when you go to sleep, and when you rise;

And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou dost sit in thy house, and when thou dost walk by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

And you shall teach them to your sons to speak through them [(As soon as your son is ready to speak, teach him (33:4): "Torah did Moses command us" to initiate him into speaking)], in your sitting in your house, and in your walking upon the way, and in your lying down, and in your arising.

And you are to write them on the doorposts of your home and your gateways.

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house, and upon thy gates:

And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

In order that they will be many—your years and the years of your children on the soil that Adonoy swore to your forefathers to give them, like the years of heaven on earth.

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

So that your days be prolonged and the days of your children [(But if not, they will not be prolonged)], on the land that the L-rd swore to your fathers to give to them [(a Scriptural allusion to the resurrection)], as the days of heaven upon the earth.

For if you truly guard this entire mitzvah that I am commanding you to perform, to love Adonoy, your God, to walk in all His ways and to cling to Him.

For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to hold fast to him;

For if you keep, keep, all of this mitzvah that I command you to do [(an exhortation to many "keepings," that one take care not to forget his learning)], to love the L-rd your G-d, to walk in all His ways [i.e., As He is merciful, so you be merciful, etc.], and to cleave to Him [(Cleaving to Torah scholars is accounted cleaving to the L-rd)],

Adonoy will expel all these nations before you, and you will inherit nations greater and more powerful than you.

then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

Then the L-rd will drive out all these nations from before you [(You, doing what is yours, I shall do what is Mine)], and you will inherit nations greater and mightier than you [(You are mighty, but they are mightier than you)].

Every place that the sole of your foot steps on will be yours, from the wilderness and the Lebanon, form the river—the Euphrates River—up to the ultimate sea, will be your boundary.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness to the Levanon, from the river, the river Perat, to the uttermost sea shall be your border.

Every place where the soles of your feet tread shall be yours. From the desert and the Levanon, from the river, the river Perath, until the western sea shall be your border.

No man will stand up to you; fear of you and awe of you will Adonoy, your God, place upon the surface of the entire land that you are stepping into, as He promised you.

There shall no man be able to stand against you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he has spoken to you.

No man [— even one like Og, the king of Bashan —] will stand up against you. Fear of you [(on the part of those near you)] and dread of you [(on the part of those distant)] shall the L-rd G-d place on the face of all the land where you will tread, as He spoke to you [viz. Exodus 23:27].

Look, I place before you today, a blessing and a curse.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

Behold, I set before you this day blessing and curse, [those (to be) pronounced in Mount Gerizim and Mount Eival].

The blessing—that you heed the commandments of Adonoy, your God, that I am commanding you today.

a blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:

The blessing, so that you hearken to the mitzvoth of the L-rd your G-d, which I command you this day.

And the curse—if you do not heed the commandments of Adonoy, your God, and you veer from the course which I command you this day, to follow other gods which you did not know.

and a curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

And the curse, if you do not hearken to the mitzvoth of the L-rd your G-d and you turn away from the way that I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you did not know, [whence it is derived that serving idolatry is tantamount to denying the entire Torah ("the way")].

When Adonoy, your God, has brought you to the land that you are coming to inherit, you shall place the blessers on Mount Gerizim and the cursers on Mount Eival.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God has brought thee in to the land into which thou dost go to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizzim, and the curse upon mount ῾Eval.

And it shall be, when the L-rd your G-d brings you to the land whither you come to inherit it, that you shall set the blessers towards Mount Gerizim and the cursers towards Mount Eival. [The blessers face Mount Gerizim and recite: "Blessed is the man who does not make a graven or a molten image," and then they turn to Mount Eival and recite the corresponding curse, viz. (27:15): "Cursed is the man who makes a graven or a molten image," etc.]

Are they not across the Yardein and far beyond, along the route of the sunset? In the land of the Canaanites who dwell on the Arava Plain, opposite Gilgol, next to the Moreh Plain.

Are they not on the other side of the Yarden, by the way where the sun goes down, in the land of the Kena῾ani, who dwell in the ῾Arava over against Gilgal, beside the terebinths of More?

Are they [the mountains] not beyond the passage of the Jordan towards the setting of the sun [the west], in the land of the Canaani, who dwells in the plain, distant from Gilgal, near Eilonei Moreh [Shchem]?

For you shall pass across the Yardein to come to inherit the land that Adonoy, your God, is giving you; you will inherit it and will dwell in it.

For you shall pass over the Yarden to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.

When you cross the Jordan to come to inherit the land that the L-rd your G-d gives to you, [the miracles that you experience then will be a sign to you that] you will inherit it and you will dwell in it.

You will guard to fulfill all the statutes and the laws that I am setting before you today.

And you shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

And you shall observe to do all of the statutes and the judgments that I set before you this day.
