The First Book of Moses, Commonly Called Deuteronomy (WEB)
8:1 All the commandment which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may
live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. 8:2You
shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the
wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you
would keep his commandments, or not. 8:3He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed
you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you
know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of
Yahweh does man live. 8:4Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these
forty years. 8:5You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God
chastens you. 8:6You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and
to fear him. 8:7For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of
springs and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; 8:8a land of wheat and barley, and vines and
fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; 8:9a land in which you shall eat bread
without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of
whose hills you may dig copper. 8:10You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your
God for the good land which he has given you. 8:11Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not
keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
8:12lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein; 8:13and
when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that
you have is multiplied; 8:14then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who
brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 8:15who led you through
the great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground
where was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint; 8:16who 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: 8:17and lest you say in your heart, My power
and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. 8:18But you shall remember Yahweh 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 at this day. 8:19It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk
after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall
surely perish. 8:20As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so shall you perish;
because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
