(A)If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out, then (B)I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit. (C)Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your [a]food to the full and (D)live securely in your land. (E)I shall also grant peace in the land, so that (F)you may lie down with no one making you tremble. (G)I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and (H)no sword will pass through your land. But you will chase your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword; (I)five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword. So I will turn toward you and (J)make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will (K)confirm My covenant with you. 10 (L)You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new. 11 (M)Moreover, I will make My [b]dwelling among you, and My soul will not [c]reject you. 12 (N)I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 13 (O)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and (P)I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

Blessings at Gerizim

28 (A)Now it shall be, if you diligently [a]obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God (B)will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and (C)overtake you if you [b]obey the Lord your God:

“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be (D)in the [c]country.

“Blessed shall be the [d]offspring of your [e]body and the [f]produce of your ground and the [g]offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

“Blessed shall you be (E)when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

“The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be [h]defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in (F)all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. (G)The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10 So all the peoples of the earth will see that [i](H)you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you. 11 (I)The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the [j]offspring of your [k]body and in the [l]offspring of your beast and in the [m]produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord 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 (J)you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 (K)The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to [n]observe them carefully, 14 and (L)do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
