for the Lord your God goes with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies to give you victory.”

The Lord your God will deliver it over to you and you must kill every single male by the sword.

In this manner you will purge out the guilt of innocent blood from among you, for you must do what is right before the Lord.

When you go out to do battle with your enemies and the Lord your God allows you to prevail and you take prisoners,

A man with crushed or severed genitals may not enter the assembly of the Lord.

Children of the third generation born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you left Egypt.

For anyone who acts dishonestly in these ways is abhorrent to the Lord your God.

The priest will then take the basket from you and set it before the altar of the Lord your God.

Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.

You must build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.

All these blessings will come to you in abundance if you obey the Lord your God:

Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you belong to the Lord, and they will respect you.

He will afflict you with weakness, fever, inflammation, infection, sword, blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.

The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, eczema, and scabies, all of which cannot be healed.

You will become an occasion of horror, a proverb, and an object of ridicule to all the peoples to whom the Lord will drive you.

“Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have,

Even if your exiles are in the most distant land, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back.

Then he will bring you to the land your ancestors possessed and you also will possess it; he will do better for you and multiply you more than he did your ancestors.

The Lord will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.
