DEḆARIM 28 (Deuteronomy 28)

1 “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to guard to do all His Commands which I command you today, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall make you high above all nations of the earth.

2 “And all these bireḵoth shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim:

3 “Baruḵ are you in the city, and baruḵ are you in the field.

4 “Baruḵ is the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your livestock – the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

5 Baruḵ is your basket and your kneading bowl.

6 “Baruḵ are you when you come in, and baruḵ are you when you go out.

7 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 causes your enemies who rise against you to be smitten before your face – they come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

8 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commands the beraḵah on you in your storehouses and in all to which you put your hand, and shall baraḵ you in the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim is giving you.

9 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 establishes you as a qodesh people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you guard the Commands of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim and walk in His Ways.

10 “And all peoples of the earth shall see that the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is called upon you, and they shall be afraid of you.

11 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall make you to have plenty of what is good, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land of which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 swore to your fathers to give you.

12 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 opens to you His good treasure, the shamayim, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to baraḵ all the work of your hand. And you shall lend to many nations, but you do not borrow.

13 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall make you the head and not the tail. And you shall be only on top, and not be beneath, if you obey the Commands of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, which I command you today, to guard and do.

14 “And do not turn aside from any of the Words which I am commanding you today, right or left, to go after other mighty ones to serve them.

15 “And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to guard to do all His Commands and His Laws which I command you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:

16 “Cursed are you in the city, and cursed are you in the field.

17 “Cursed is your basket and your kneading bowl.

18 “Cursed is the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

19 “Cursed are you when you come in, and cursed are you when you go out.

20 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 sends on you the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken Me.

21 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 makes the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess.

22 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 smites you with wasting disease, and with inflammation, and with burning, and with extreme heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue you until you perish.

23 “And your shamayim which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you iron.

24 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 makes the rain of your land powder and dust; from the shamayim it comes down on you until you are destroyed.

25 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 causes you to be defeated before your enemies – you go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And you shall become a horror to all the reigns of the earth.

26 “And your carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the shamayim and the beasts of the earth, with no one to frighten them away.

27 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall smite you with the boils of Mitsrayim, with tumours, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you are unable to be healed.
