Deuteronomy 11:18-25

New International Version

¹⁸Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.^(A) ¹⁹Teach them to your children,^(B) talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.^(C) ²⁰Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,^(D) ²¹so that your days and the days of your children may be many^(E) in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.^(F)

²²If you carefully observe^(G) all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love^(H) the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast^(I) to him— ²³then the Lord will drive out^(J) all these nations^(K) before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.^(L) ²⁴Every place where you set your foot will be yours:^(M) Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River^(N) to the Mediterranean Sea. ²⁵No one will be able to stand against you. The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put the terror^(O) and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.^(P)

Deuteronomy 11:18-25

King James Version

¹⁸Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

²¹That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

²²For if ye 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 cleave unto him;

²³Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

²⁵There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

New King James Version

¹⁸“Therefore ^(A)you shall ^[a]lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your ^(B)soul, and ^(C)bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹^(D)You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ²⁰^(E)And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹that ^(F)your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like ^(G)the days of the heavens above the earth.

²²“For if ^(H)you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and ^(I)to hold fast to Him— ²³then the Lord will ^(J)drive out all these nations from before you, and you will ^(K)dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. ²⁴^(L)Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: ^(M)from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the ^[b]Western Sea, shall be your territory. ²⁵No man shall be able to ^(N)stand ^[c]against you; the Lord your God will put the ^(O)dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you.
