so that your days and those of your descendants may be extended in the land which the Lord promised to give to your ancestors, like the days of heaven itself.

the blessing if you take to heart the commandments of the Lord your God that I am giving you today,

For you are about to cross the Jordan to possess the land the Lord your God is giving you, and you will possess and inhabit it.

But you must seek only the place he chooses from all your tribes to establish his name as his place of residence, and you must go there.

for you have not yet come to the final stop and inheritance the Lord your God is giving you.

When you do go across the Jordan River and settle in the land he is granting you as an inheritance and you find relief from all the enemies who surround you, you will live in safety.

You shall rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God, along with your sons, daughters, male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages (since they have no allotment or inheritance with you).

for you may do so only in the place the Lord chooses in one of your tribal areas – there you may do everything I am commanding you.

Only the holy things and votive offerings that belong to you, you must pick up and take to the place the Lord will choose.

When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land.

You must follow the Lord your God and revere only him; and you must observe his commandments, obey him, serve him, and remain loyal to him.

You must stone him to death because he tried to entice you away from the Lord your God, who delivered you from the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.

Suppose you should hear in one of your cities, which the Lord your God is giving you as a place to live, that

you may convert the tithe into money, secure the money, and travel to the place the Lord your God chooses for himself.

if you carefully obey him by keeping all these commandments that I am giving you today.

Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore, I am commanding you to do this thing today.

Observe the month Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in that month he brought you out of Egypt by night.

You must sacrifice the Passover animal (from the flock or the herd) to the Lord your God in the place where he chooses to locate his name.

Then you are to celebrate the Festival of Weeks before the Lord your God with the voluntary offering that you will bring, in proportion to how he has blessed you.

You must appoint judges and civil servants for each tribe in all your villages that the Lord your God is giving you, and they must judge the people fairly.
