You must not shed innocent blood in your land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, for that would make you guilty.

You must not encroach on your neighbor’s property, which will have been defined in the inheritance you will obtain in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

As for the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is going to give you as an inheritance, you must not allow a single living thing to survive.

If a homicide victim should be found lying in a field in the land the Lord your God is giving you, and no one knows who killed him,

Do not blame your people Israel whom you redeemed, O Lord, and do not hold them accountable for the bloodshed of an innocent person.” Then atonement will be made for the bloodshed.

When you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you occupy it and live in it,

Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

You will celebrate all the good things that the Lord your God has given you and your family, along with the Levites and the resident foreigners among you.

Then he will elevate you above all the nations he has made and you will receive praise, fame, and honor. You will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he has said.

The Lord will cause your enemies who attack you to be struck down before you; they will attack you from one direction but flee from you in seven different directions.

The Lord will decree blessing for you with respect to your barns and in everything you do – yes, he will bless you in the land he is giving you.

The Lord will greatly multiply your children, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he promised your ancestors he would give you.

The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; it will come down on you from the sky until you are destroyed.

“The Lord will allow you to be struck down before your enemies; you will attack them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions and will become an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Your ox will be slaughtered before your very eyes but you will not eat of it. Your donkey will be stolen from you as you watch and will not be returned to you. Your flock of sheep will be given to your enemies and there will be no one to save you.

Your sons and daughters will be given to another people while you look on in vain all day, and you will be powerless to do anything about it.

You will then eat your own offspring, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you, because of the severity of the siege by which your enemies will constrict you.

But to this very day the Lord has not given you an understanding mind, perceptive eyes, or discerning ears!

Then the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies, on those who hate you and persecute you.

You will see the land before you, but you will not enter the land that I am giving to the Israelites.”
