when thou risest up.
[20] And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy
gates:
[21] That 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.
[22] For 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;
[23] Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before
you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
[24] Every 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.
[25] There 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.
[26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a
curse;
[27] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this
day:
[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out
of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
[29] And it
shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to
possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
[30]
Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites,
which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
[31] For ye shall pass
over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess
it, and dwell therein.
[32] And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before
you this day.
Deut.12
[1] These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD
God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
[2] Ye shall utterly
destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high
mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
[3] And ye shall overthrow their altars, and
break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods,
and destroy the names of them out of that place.
[4] Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
[5] But
unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even
unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
[6] And thither ye shall bring your burnt
offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and
your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
[7] And there ye shall eat before
the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
[8] Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here
this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
[9] For ye are not as yet come to the rest and
to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
[10] But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell
in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your
enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
[11] Then there shall be a place which the LORD your
God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your
burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice
vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
[12] And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your
sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within
your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
[13] Take heed to thyself that thou
offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
[14] But in the place which the LORD shall
choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I
command thee.
[15] Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul
lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and
the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
[16] Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye
shall pour it upon the earth as water.
[17] Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of
thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest,
nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
[18] But thou must eat them before the LORD
thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and
thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before
