וְהָיָה֙ (הָיָה֙) ha.Yah “it will be”

And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:

לִהְיוֹת֩ (הְיוֹת֩) h.yOt “become”

And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

לִהְי֥וֹת (הְי֥וֹת) h.Yot “become”

And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.

וְלִֽהְיֹתְךָ֧ (הְיֹתְ) h.yo.te. “be”

Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

נִהְיֵ֣יתָֽ nih.Yei.ta “you have become”

Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:

וְהָיָ֗ה (הָיָ֗ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;

וְהָיִ֙יתָ֙ (הָיִ֙יתָ֙) ha.Yi.ta “you will be”תִהְיֶ֖ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

וְהָיְתָ֤ה (הָיְתָ֤ה) ha.ye.Tah “it will become”

You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.

The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:
