and wells dug which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you

Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage.
Deut 6:13 “Fear יהוה your Elohim and serve Him, and swear by His Name.

Deut 7:1 “When יהוה your Elohim brings you into the land which you go to
possess, He shall also clear away many nations before you: the Ḥittites and

the Ḥiwwites and the Yeḇusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you.
Deut 7:2 “And when יהוה your Elohim gives them over to you, you shall
smite them and put them under the ban, completely. Make no covenant with
them, and show them no favour.
Deut 7:3 “And do not intermarry with them – you do not give your daughter
to his son, and you do not take his daughter for your son,
Deut 7:4 for he turns your sons away from following Me, to serve other
mighty ones. Then the displeasure of יהוה shall burn against you and promptly
destroy you.

smash their pillars, and cut down their Ashĕrim, and burn their carved
images with fire.

Elohim has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession

more numerous than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples,
Deut 7:8 but because of יהוה loving you, and because of Him guarding the
oath which He swore to your fathers, יהוה has brought you out with a strong
hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh
sovereign of Mitsrayim.
Deut 7:9 “And you shall know that יהוה your Elohim, He is Elohim, the
trustworthy Ĕl guarding covenant and kindness for a thousand generations

does not delay to do so with him who hates Him, He repays him to his face.
Deut 7:11 “And you shall guard the command, and the laws, and the right-

and the kindness which He swore to your fathers,
Deut 7:13 and shall love you and bless you and increase you, and shall bless
the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new
wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock,
in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you.
Deut 7:14 “Blessed are you above all peoples – there is not going to be a
barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock.

none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known, but He shall
put them on all those who hate you.

their mighty ones, for that is a snare to you.
Deut 7:17 “When you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I, I
am unable to drive them out,’
Deut 7:18 do not be afraid of them. Remember well what יהוה your Elohim
did to Pharaoh and to all Mitsrayim,
Deut 7:19 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs and the
wonders, the strong hand and the outstretched arm, by which יהוה your Elohim
brought you out. יהוה your Elohim does so to all the peoples of whom you are
afraid.
Deut 7:20 “And יהוה your Elohim also sends the hornet among them until
those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed.
Deut 7:21 “Do not be afraid of them, for יהוה your Elohim, the great and
awesome Ĕl, is in your midst.
Deut 7:22 “And יהוה your Elohim shall drive out those nations before you,
little by little. You are not allowed to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of
the field become too numerous for you.

them with a great destruction until they are consumed.

destroy their name from under the heavens. No one is going to be able to
stand against you until you have destroyed them.

Do not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest
you be snared by it, for it is an abomination to יהוה your Elohim.

accursed like it. Utterly loathe it and utterly hate it, for it is accursed.

Deut 8:1 “Guard to do every command which I command you today, that you
might live, and shall increase, and go in, and shall possess the land of which
יהוה swore to your fathers.
Deut 8:2 “And you shall remember that יהוה your Elohim led you all the way
these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what
is in your heart, whether you guard His commands or not.
Deut 8:3 “And He humbled you, and let you suffer hunger, and fed you with
manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, to make you know
that man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the
mouth of יהוה.
Deut 8:4 “Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell
these forty years.
Deut 8:5 “Thus you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his
son, so יהוה your Elohim disciplines you,
Deut 8:6 therefore you shall guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim, to
walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Deut 8:7 “For יהוה your Elohim is bringing you into a good land, a land of
streams of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills,
Deut 8:8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and
pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey,
Deut 8:9 a land in which you eat bread without scarcity, in which you do not
lack at all, a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you dig
copper.
Deut 8:10 “And you shall eat and be satisfied, and shall bless יהוה your
Elohim for the good land which He has given you.
Deut 8:11 “Be on guard, lest you forget יהוה your Elohim by not guarding His
commands, and His right-rulings, and His laws which I command you today,
Deut 8:12 lest you eat and shall be satisfied, and build lovely houses and
shall dwell in them,
Deut 8:13 and your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and your
gold are increased, and all that you have is increased,
Deut 8:14 that your heart then becomes lifted up, and you forget יהוה your
Elohim who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of
bondage,
Deut 8:15 who led you through that great and awesome wilderness – fiery
serpents and scorpions and thirst – where there was no water, who brought
water for you out of the flinty rock,
Deut 8:16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did
not know, in order to humble you and to try you, to do you good in the end,
Deut 8:17 you then shall say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my
hand have made for me this wealth!’
Deut 8:18 “But you shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives
you power to get wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore
to your fathers, as it is today.
Deut 8:19 “And it shall be, if you by any means forget יהוה your Elohim, and
follow other mighty ones, and serve them and bow yourself to them, I have
warned you this day that you shall certainly perish.
Deut 8:20 “Like the nations which יהוה is destroying before you, so you are
to perish, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim.

Deut 9:1 “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: You are passing over the Yardĕn today, to go in
to dispossess nations greater and stronger than yourself, cities great and
walled up to the heavens,
Deut 9:2 a people great and tall, the descendants of the Anaqim, whom you
know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘Who does stand before the
descendants of Anaq?’
Deut 9:3 “And you shall know today that יהוה your Elohim is He who is
passing over before you as a consuming fire – He does destroy them and
subdue them before you. So you shall dispossess them and destroy them
quickly, as יהוה has said to you.
Deut 9:4 “Do not think in your heart, after יהוה your Elohim has driven them
out before you, saying, ‘Because of my righteousness יהוה has brought me in
to possess this land.’ But it is because of the wrong of these nations that יהוה
is driving them out from before you.
Deut 9:5 “It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your
heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wrong of these
nations that יהוה your Elohim drives them out from before you, in order to
establish the word which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq,
and to Ya‛aqoḇ.
Deut 9:6 “And you shall know that יהוה your Elohim is not giving you this
good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-
necked people.

Elohim in the wilderness. From the day that you came out of the land of
Mitsrayim until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against יהוה.
Deut 9:8 “Even in Ḥorĕḇ you made יהוה wroth, so that יהוה was enraged with
you, to destroy you.
Deut 9:9 “When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone,
the tablets of the covenant which יהוה made with you, then I stayed on the
mountain forty days and forty nights. I did not eat bread nor did I drink water.
Deut 9:10 “Then יהוה gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger
of Elohim, and on them were all the Words which יהוה had spoken to you on
the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Deut 9:11 “And it came to be, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that
יהוה gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
Deut 9:12 “Then יהוה said to me, ‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for
your people whom you brought out of Mitsrayim have acted corruptly. They
have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them, they have
made themselves a moulded image.’
Deut 9:13 “And יהוה spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and look,
they are a stiff-necked people.
Deut 9:14 ‘Leave Me alone, so that I destroy them and blot out their name
from under the heavens, and make of you a nation stronger and greater than
they.’
Deut 9:15 “So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain
burned with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
Deut 9:16 “And I looked and saw that you had sinned against יהוה your
Elohim, and had made for yourselves a moulded calf! You had quickly turned
aside from the way which יהוה had commanded you.
Deut 9:17 “And I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands
and broke them before your eyes,
Deut 9:18 “and I fell down before יהוה, as at the first, forty days and forty
nights. I did not eat bread and I did not drink water, because of all your sins
which you committed in doing evil in the eyes of יהוה, to provoke Him.
Deut 9:19 “For I was afraid of the displeasure and rage with which יהוה was
wroth with you, to destroy you. But יהוה listened to me that time once more.
Deut 9:20 “And יהוה was very enraged with Aharon, to destroy him, so I
prayed for Aharon at that time also.
Deut 9:21 “And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it
with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust.
And I threw its dust into the stream that came down from the mountain.
Deut 9:22 “And at Taḇ‛ĕrah and at Massah and at Qiḇroth Hatta’awah you
made יהוה wroth.
Deut 9:23 “And when יהוה sent you from Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, saying, ‘Go up and
possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the mouth
of יהוה your Elohim, and you neither trusted Him nor listened to His voice.
Deut 9:24 “You have been rebellious against יהוה from the day that I knew
you.
Deut 9:25 “So I fell down before יהוה the forty days and forty nights, for I
fell down because יהוה had said He would destroy you.
Deut 9:26 “And I prayed to יהוה, and said, ‘O Master יהוה, do not destroy
Your people and Your inheritance whom You have redeemed in Your
greatness, whom You have brought out of Mitsrayim with a strong hand.
Deut 9:27 ‘Remember Your servants, Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Ya‛aqoḇ. Do
not look on the stubbornness of this people, or on their wrong or on their sin,
Deut 9:28 lest the land from which You brought us should say, “Because יהוה
was not able to bring them to the land which He promised them, and because
He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.”
Deut 9:29 ‘And they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You
brought out by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm.’
