(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 season will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. So you will 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 to make you afraid. (G)I shall also eliminate harmful animals from the land, and (H)no sword will pass through your land. Instead, 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 And (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 your yoke and made you walk erect.

The Blessings at Mount 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 am commanding you today, that the Lord your God (B)will put you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings will come to you and (C)reach you if you [b]obey the Lord your God:

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

“Blessed will be the [d]children of your womb, the [e]produce of your ground, and the [f]offspring of your animals: the newborn of your herd and the young of your flock.

“Blessed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.

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

“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be [g]defeated by you; they will go out against you one way and will flee at your presence seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing for you in your [h]barns and in (F)everything that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving 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)And the Lord will give you more than enough prosperity, in the [j]children of your womb, in the [k]offspring of your livestock, and in the [l]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 every work of your hand; and (J)you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. 13 (K)And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will only be above, and not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God which I am commanding you today, to [m]follow them carefully, 14 and (L)do not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or the left, to pursue other gods to serve them.
