Deuteronomy 11-13 Love and Obedience Rewarded Deuteronomy 11:1 “Therefore you shall love The LORD your GOD, and keep HIS charge, HIS statutes, HIS judgments, and HIS COMMANDMENTS always. Deuteronomy 11:2 Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastening Hebrews 12:5-11 of The LORD your GOD, HIS greatness and HIS mighty hand and HIS outstretched arm— Deuteronomy 11:3 HIS signs and HIS acts which HE did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land; Deuteronomy 11:4 what HE did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots: how HE made the waters of the Red Sea overflow them as they pursued you, and how The LORD has destroyed them to this day; Deuteronomy 11:5 what HE did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place; Deuteronomy 11:6 and what HE did to Dathan and ABiram the sons of ELiAB, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all IsraEL— Deuteronomy 11:7 but your eyes have seen every great act of The LORD which HE did. Deuteronomy 11:8 “Therefore you shall keep every COMMANDMENT WHICH I COMMAND you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess, Deuteronomy 11:9 and that you may prolong your days in the land which The LORD SWORE to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, ‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ Deuteronomy 11:10 For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; Deuteronomy 11:11 but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, Deuteronomy 11:12 a land for which The LORD your GOD cares; the eyes of The LORD your GOD are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey MY COMMANDMENTS WHICH I COMMAND you today, to love The LORD your GOD and serve Romans 12:1 HIM with all your heart and with all your soul, Deuteronomy 11:14 then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, Genesis 1; Psalms 24:1; Matthew 5:44,45 the early rain JoEL 2:23 and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. Deuteronomy 11:15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat Psalm 106:15 and be filled.’ Numbers 11:20; Matthew 5:6 Deuteronomy 11:16 “Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, JeremiAH 17:9 and you turn aside IsaiAH 30:21 and serve other gods Exodus 20:3 and worship them, Matthew 6:24,33 Deuteronomy 11:17 lest The LORD’s anger be aroused against you, and HE shut up the heavens 2Chronicles 7:13 so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which The LORD is giving you. Deuteronomy 11:18 “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, John 3:16 and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 2Corinthians 2:16 Deuteronomy 11:19 You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. Psalm 127:2 Deuteronomy 11:20 And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, Deuteronomy 11:21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which The LORD SWORE to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth. Deuteronomy 11:22 “For if you carefully keep all these COMMANDMENTS WHICH I COMMAND you to do—to love The LORD your GOD, to walk in all HIS ways, IsaiAH 30:21; John 14:6 and to hold fast to HIM— Deuteronomy 11:23 then The LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. Deuteronomy 11:24 Every place on which Joshua 1:3 the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory. Deuteronomy 11:25 No man shall be able to stand against you; The LORD your GOD will put the dread Joshua 2:9 of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as HE has SAID to you. Deuteronomy 11:26 “ Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: Proverbs 18:21; Deuteronomy 11:27 the blessing, if you obey the COMMANDMENTS of The LORD your GOD WHICH I COMMAND you today; Deuteronomy 11:28 and the curse, if you do not obey the COMMANDMENTS of The LORD your GOD, but turn aside Matthew 6:13 from the way which I COMMAND you today, to go after other gods which you have not known. John 15:4-11; Philippians 3:10 (relationship with the gods / ALLAH is something that other people cannot tell about) Deuteronomy 11:29 Now it shall be, when The LORD your GOD has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. Deuteronomy 11:30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, toward the setting sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the terebinth trees of Moreh? Genesis 12:6 Deuteronomy 11:31 For you will cross over the Jordan and go in to possess the land which The LORD your GOD is giving you, and you will possess it and dwell in it. Deuteronomy 11:32 And you shall be careful to observe all the statutes and judgments which I set before you today. A Prescribed Place of Worship Deuteronomy 12:1 “These are the statutes and judgments which you shall be careful to observe in the land which The LORD GOD of your fathers is giving you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth. Deuteronomy 12:2 You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. Exodus 34:13 Deuteronomy 12:3 And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. (the IsraELites were to rename the places with names of gods but many were not – example Baal-Hamon) Deuteronomy 12:4 You shall not worship The LORD your GOD with such things. Deuteronomy 12:5 “But you shall seek the place where The LORD your GOD chooses, 2SamuEL 7:13; 1Kings 5:5; 8:29 out of all your tribes, to put HIS NAME for HIS dwelling place; and there you shall go. 2Corinthians 5:1 Deuteronomy 12:6 There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. Deuteronomy 12:7 And there you shall eat before The LORD your GOD, and you shall rejoice in all to which you have put your hand, you and your households, in which The LORD your GOD has blessed you. Deuteronomy 12:8 “You shall not at all do as we are doing here today— every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes— Philippians 4:8 Deuteronomy 12:9 for as yet you have not come to the rest Hebrews 3;4 and the inheritance which The LORD your GOD is giving you. Deuteronomy 12:10 But when you cross over the Jordan and dwell in the land which The LORD your GOD is giving you to inherit, and HE gives you rest 1Kings 4:24 from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety, Deuteronomy 12:11 then there will be the place where The LORD your GOD chooses to make HIS NAME abide. There you shall bring all that I COMMAND you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to The LORD. Deuteronomy 12:12 And you shall rejoice before The LORD your GOD, you and your sons and your daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you. Deuteronomy 12:13 Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place Ex 34:13 that you see; Deuteronomy 12:14 but in the place which The LORD chooses, in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I COMMAND you. Deuteronomy 12:15 “However, you may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of The LORD your GOD which HE has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike. Deuteronomy 12:16 Only you shall not eat the blood; Genesis 4:10; Leviticus 17:11 (many European countries eat versions of Blood Pudding to this day) you shall pour it on the earth like water. 2SamuEL 23:16 Deuteronomy 12:17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the heave offering of your hand. Deuteronomy 12:18 But you must eat them before The LORD your GOD in the place which The LORD your GOD chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before The LORD your GOD in all to which you put your hands. Deuteronomy 12:19 Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land. Deuteronomy 12:20 “When The LORD your GOD enlarges 1Chronicles 4:10 your border as HE has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires. Psalm 106:15 Deuteronomy 12:21 If the place where The LORD your GOD chooses to put HIS NAME is too far from you, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which The LORD has given you, just as I have COMMANDED you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires. Deuteronomy 12:22 Just as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them. Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat. Deuteronomy 12:24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water. Deuteronomy 12:25 You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of The LORD. Deuteronomy 12:26 Only the holy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which The LORD chooses. Deuteronomy 12:27 And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the Altar of The LORD your GOD; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the Altar of The LORD your GOD, and you shall eat the meat. Deuteronomy 12:28 Observe and obey all these words which I COMMAND you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of The LORD your GOD. Beware of False gods Deuteronomy 12:29 “When The LORD your GOD cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, Deuteronomy 12:30 take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ Deuteronomy 12:31 You shall not worship The LORD your GOD in that way; for every abomination to The LORD which HE hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. 2Kings 17:31; 21:6; 23:10; 2Chronicles 28:3; EzekiEL 20:31 Deuteronomy 12:32 “Whatever I COMMAND you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it Matthew 5:17 nor take away from it. Punishment of Apostates Deuteronomy 13:1 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, Deuteronomy 13:2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known— ‘and let us serve them,’ JeremiAH 6:14 1Corinthians 12:10; 1John 4:1 Deuteronomy 13:3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for The LORD your GOD is testing Malachai 3:3 you to know whether you love The LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 13:4 You shall walk after The LORD your GOD and fear Proverbs 8:13 HIM, and keep HIS COMMANDMENTS and obey HIS VOICE; you shall serve HIM and hold fast to HIM. Deuteronomy 13:5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from The LORD your GOD, WHO brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which The LORD your GOD COMMANDED you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 13:6 “If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, 1SamuEL 18:1 secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, Deuteronomy 13:7 of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth (Eastern religions, new age,) to the other end of the earth, Deuteronomy 13:8 you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; Acts 7:59; 8:1 Deuteronomy 13:9 but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. Leviticus 16:21 Deuteronomy 13:10 And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from The LORD your GOD, WHO brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Deuteronomy 13:11 So all IsraEL shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you. Deuteronomy 13:12 “If you hear Genesis 4:9 someone in one of your cities, which The LORD your GOD gives you to dwell in, saying, Deuteronomy 13:13 ‘ Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” ’—which you have not known— Deuteronomy 13:14 then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. Matthew 18:16 And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination was committed among you, Deuteronomy 13:15 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock— with the edge of the sword. Deuteronomy 13:16 And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, for The LORD your GOD. It shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again. Deuteronomy 13:17 So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that The LORD may turn from the fierceness of HIS anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and multiply you, just as HE SWORE to your fathers, Deuteronomy 13:18 because you have listened to the VOICE of The LORD your GOD, to keep all HIS COMMANDMENTS WHICH I COMMAND you today, to do what is right in the eyes of The LORD your GOD.
