Yahweh will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in (C)all that you send forth your hand to do, and He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. (D)Yahweh will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God and walk in His ways. 10 So all the peoples of the earth will see that [g](E)you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you. 11 (F)And Yahweh will make you abound in prosperity, in the [h]offspring of your [i]body and in the [j]offspring of your beast and in the [k]produce of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you. 12 Yahweh will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and (G)you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
