Deuteronomy 11 — Context

17

Then the anger of the LORD will erupt against you and he will close up the sky so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed from the good land that the LORD is about to give you.

18

Fix these words of mine into your mind and being, and tie them as a reminder on your hands and let them be symbols on your forehead.

19

Teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up.

20

Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates

21

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.

22

For if you carefully observe all of these commandments I am giving you and love the LORD your God, live according to his standards, and remain loyal to him,

23

then he will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.
