THE OPEN INVITATION OF YAH VEH And so be it, when all these words come on you - the blessing and the abasement that I give at your face; and you restore them to heart among all the goyim where Yah Veh your Elohim has driven you; 2 and you return to Yah Veh your Elohim and hear his voice according to all I misvah you this day - you and your sons with all your heart and with all your soul; 3 then Yah Veh your Elohim turns your captivity and mercies you and returns and gathers you from all the goyim - wherever Yah Veh your Elohim scattered you: 4 and so be it, if you are expelled to the ends of the heavens, from thence Yah Veh your Elohim gathers you; and from thence he takes you: 5 and Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to possess the land your fathers possessed: and he well-pleases you and abounds you above your fathers: 6 and Yah Veh your Elohim circumcises your heart and the heart of your seed - to love Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul for your life: 7 and Yah Veh your Elohim gives all these oaths on your enemies and on them who hate you - who pursue you. 8 And you return and hear the voice of Yah Veh and work all his misvoth which I misvah you this day: 9 and Yah Veh your Elohim overflows you in every work of your hand - in the fruit of your belly and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your soil, for good: for Yah Veh returns to rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers: 10 for you hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard his misvoth and his statutes inscribed in this scroll of the torah: for you turn to Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul. 11 For this misvah I misvah you this day, is neither too marvelous for you, nor afar: 12 nor in the heavens, saying, Who ascends the heavens and brings it to us, to hear it and work it? 13 - nor beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over the sea and brings it to us, to hear it and work it? 14 But the word is mighty near you - in your mouth and in your heart, to work it. 15
THE OFFER OF YAH VEH OF LIFE AND GOOD See, I give at your face this day life and good and death and evil; 16 in that I misvah you this day to love Yah Veh your Elohim, to walk in his ways and to guard his misvoth and his statutes and his judgments, so that you live and increase: and Yah Veh your Elohim blesses you in the land you go to possess. 17 And if you turn your heart so that you hear not; and be driven to prostrate to other elohim and to serve them; 18 I tell you this day, that in destructing, you destruct; and that you not prolong your days on the soil you pass over Yarden to go to possess. 19 I call the heavens and earth to witness this day against you, that I give at your face life and death, blessing and abasement: choose life, so that both you and your seed live: 20 and that you love Yah Veh your Elohim and that you hear his voice and that you adhere to him: for he is your life and your length of days: and that you settle in the soil Yah Veh oathed to give your fathers - to Abraham, to Yischaq and to Yaaqov.
