Verse 12: In the future, as a consequence of your heeding these laws, and your guarding and fulfilling them; Ad-noy, your G-d, will guard for you the covenant and the kindliness that He swore to your forefathers.

Verse 13: He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and He will bless the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil--- your grain, your wine, and your olive oil--- the offspring of your cattle, and the herds of your sheep, upon the soil that He swore to your forefathers to give you.

Verse 14: You will be blessed more than all the peoples; there will not be among you a sterile male or a barren female, nor among your animals.

Verse 15: Ad-noy will remove from you all illness; and all the harmful diseases of Egypt that you know, He will not place upon you, but will give them to all your enemies.

Verse 16: You will consume all the peoples that Ad-noy, your G-d, is giving you; do not take pity on them. Do not serve their gods, because they are a snare for you.

Verse 17: Perhaps you may think to yourself, "These nations are more numerous than I, how can I inherit them?"

Verse 18: Do not fear them. Recall well what Ad-noy, your G-d, did to Pharaoh and to all the Egyptians.

Verse 19: The great tests you witnessed, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the extended arm with which Ad-noy, your G-d, took you out; so will Ad-noy, your G-d, do to all the peoples that you are afraid of.

Verse 20: Also the tzir'oh will Ad-noy, your G-d, send against them, until the destruction of those who survive and hide from you.

Verse 21: Do not be intimidated by them, for Ad-noy, your G-d, is amid you, the great and fearsome Almighty.

Verse 22: Ad-noy, your G-d, will expel these nations before you, gradually; you will be unable to exterminate them rapidly, lest the wild animals multiply against you.

Verse 23: Ad-noy, your G-d, will defeat them before you, and will confuse them with great confusion until they are destroyed.

Verse 24: He will put their kings in your hand, and you will eliminate their name from beneath the heavens; no man will stand up to you until you have destroyed them.

Verse 25: Burn the statues of their gods in fire; do not covet the silver and gold upon them and take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, because it is abominated by Ad-noy, your G-d.

Verse 26: Do not bring abomination into your house [lest] you become cheirem like it; thoroughly revile and abominate it, for it is cheirem.

Verse 8: A land of wheat and barley, and grapes and figs and pomegranates; a land of oil, olives and honey.

Verse 9: A land where you will not eat bread in poverty, you will lack nothing there; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose hills you will mine copper.

Verse 16: Who fed you mon in the wilderness that your forefathers had not known, in order to oppress you and in order to test you, to ultimately benefit you---

Verse 3: You know today that Ad-noy, your G-d, is the One crossing before you, a consuming fire, He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you; you will expel them and destroy them quickly, as Ad-noy promised for you.

Sh'lishi (Third Aliyah)

Verse 4: Do not think, when Ad-noy, your G-d, smashes them before you, saying: "Because of my righteousness has Ad-noy brought me to inherit this land," and because of the wickedness of these nations is Ad-noy expelling them before you.

Verse 5: Not because of your righteousness and the uprightness of your heart are you coming to inherit their land. Rather, because of the wickedness of these nations is Ad-noy, your G-d, expelling them before you, and in order to fulfill the matter that Ad-noy swore to your forefathers--- to Avrohom, to Yitzchok, and to Yaakov.

Verse 6: Know that not because of your righteousness is Ad-noy, your G-d, giving you this good land to inherit, for you are a stubborn people.

Verse 7: Recall, do not forget, how you angered Ad-noy, your G-d, in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place you have been defiers with Ad-noy.

Verse 8: And in Choreiv you angered Ad-noy, and Ad-noy was infuriated with you to destroy you.

Verse 9: When I went up the mountain to take the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that Ad-noy made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water.

Verse 10: Ad-noy gave me the two stone tablets written with G-d's finger and upon them all the statements that Ad-noy addressed to you on the mountain from within the fire, on the day of assembly.

Verse 11: When, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Ad-noy gave me the two stone tablets, the covenant tablets,

Verse 12: Ad-noy said to me, "Get ready! Go down quickly from here, because your people has corrupted--- whom you took out of Egypt; they have veered swiftly from the way that I commanded them; they made them a molten image.

Verse 13: Ad-noy said to me, to say, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stubborn people!

Verse 14: Leave Me alone and let Me destroy them and eliminate their name from beneath the sky, and let Me make you into a nation more powerful and numerous than they."

Verse 15: I turned and descended the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two covenant tablets were on my two hands.

Verse 16: I beheld that you had just sinned to Ad-noy, your G-d, you had made yourselves a molten calf; you had veered swiftly from the way that Ad-noy had commanded you.

Verse 17: I grasped the two tablets and threw them from (upon) my two hands, and smashed them before your eyes.

Verse 18: I prostrated myself before Ad-noy as before, forty days and forty nights, bread I did not eat nor water did I drink; for all of your sin that you sinned by doing what is evil in Ad-noy's eyes to anger Him.

Verse 19: Because I was afraid of the anger and the fury that Ad-noy raged at you to destroy you; and Ad-noy accepted my prayer that time as well.

Verse 20: And at Aharon Ad-noy grew very angry to destroy him; I prayed for Aharon, too, at that time.

Verse 24: Defiers have you been with Ad-noy, from the day I know you.

Verse 25: I prostrated myself before Ad-noy the forty days and the forty nights that I prostrated myself, because Ad-noy intended to destroy you.

Verse 26: I prayed to Ad-noy and said, "Ad-noy, G-d, do not harm Your people and Your territory that You redeemed with Your power, whom You took out of Egypt with a powerful hand.

Verse 27: Recall Your servants--- Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov; do not pay attention to the stubborness of this people, to its wickedness, and to its sin.

Verse 28: Lest [the inhabitants] say--- [of] the land that you took us out of--- 'Because of Adonony's inability to bring them to the land that He promised for them, and because of His hatred of them, He took them out to kill them in the wilderness.'

Verse 29: But they are Your people, Your territory, whom You took out with Your great power and with Your extended arm."

Revi'i (Fourth Aliyah)

Chapter 10

Verse 1: At that time, Ad-noy said to me, "Hew for yourself two stone tablets like the originals, and ascend to Me on the mountain; and make for yourself a wooden case.

Verse 2: And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the original tablets that you smashed, and you will place them in the case."

Verse 3: So I made a case of shittim wood, and I hewed two stone tablets like the originals, and I ascended the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.

Verse 4: He wrote on the tablets like the original writing, the ten statements that Ad-noy addressed to you on the mountain from within the fire on the day of assembly, and Ad-noy gave them to me.

Verse 5: I turned and descended the mountain, and placed the tablets into the case that I had made; and they remained there as Ad-noy had commanded me.

Verse 6: Bnei Yisroel traveled from Be'eiros Bnei Ya'akon to Moseiroh. There Aharon died and was buried there; and his son El'ozor served in his stead.

Verse 7: From there they traveled to Goodgode, and from Goodgode to Yotvos, a land with flowing streams.

Verse 8: At that time Ad-noy separated the tribe of Leivi to carry the case of Ad-noy's covenant, to stand before Ad-noy to serve Him, and to bless in His name until this day.

Verse 9: This is why Leivi had no share or territory with his brothers: Ad-noy is his territory as Ad-noy, your G-d, promised for him.

Verse 10: And I remained on the mountain like the previous time, forty days and forty nights, and Ad-noy accepted my prayer that time, too; Ad-noy was unwilling to harm you.

Verse 11: And Ad-noy said to me, "Get ready! Go lead the people's traveling, and let them come and inherit the land that I swore to their forefathers to give them."

Chamishi (Fifth Aliyah)

Verse 16: You are to remove your heart's blockage, not to make yourselves stubborn any more.

Verse 4: And what He did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and to its chariots--- that He flooded the waters of Yam Suf over them when they were chasing you--- Ad-noy destroyed them until this day;

Shishi (Sixth Aliyah)

Verse 10: For the land where you are arriving to inherit is not like the land of Egypt from which you departed, where you planted your seed and watered [it] on foot like a vegetable garden.

Verse 11: Rather, the land where you are crossing to inherit is a land of mountains and plains--- by the rain of the skies will you drink water.

Verse 18: You are to place these words of Mine on your mind and on your being, and bind them as a sign on your hand and they will be totafos on your head;

Verse 19: And you are to teach them to your sons to speak in them when you sit at home, and when you journey on the road, and when you go to sleep, and when you rise;

Verse 20: And you are to write them on the doorposts of your home and your gateways.

Verse 21: In order that they will be many--- your years and the years of your children on the soil that Ad-noy swore to your forefathers to give them, like the years of heaven on earth.

Shevi'i (Seventh Aliyah) and Maftir
