H9003–/ב–b

With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

בִּבְרִ֛ית (בִּ) bi “in”וּבְאָלָת֑וֹ (בְ) ve. “in”

(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

בְּאֶ֣רֶץ (בְּ) be. “in”בְּקֶ֥רֶב (בְּ) be. “in”

So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

בָּ֠כֶם (בָּ֠) Ba. “[be] among <the>”בָּכֶ֗ם (בָּ) ba. “[be] among <the>”

If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

בְּשָׁמְעוֹ֩ (בְּ) be. “when”בִּלְבָב֤וֹ (בִּ) bi “in”בִּשְׁרִר֥וּת (בִּ) bi “in”

The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

בָּאִ֣ישׁ (בָּ) ba. “on the”בּוֹ֙ (בּ) b “on <the>”בַּסֵּ֣פֶר (בַּ) ba. “in the”

He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

בְּסֵ֥פֶר (בְּ) be. “in”

And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

בָּֽהּ׃ (בָּֽ) Ba “<in> <the>”

And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

בָ֖הּ (בָ֖) va “in <the>”בְּאַפּ֖וֹ (בְּ) be. “in”וּבַחֲמָתֽוֹ׃ (בַ) va. “in”

Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

בְּהוֹצִיא֥וֹ (בְּ) be. “when”

And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

בָּאָ֣רֶץ (בָּ) ba. “on the”בַּסֵּ֥פֶר (בַּ) ba. “in the”

Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.

בְּאַ֥ף (בְּ) be. “in”וּבְחֵמָ֖ה (בְ) ve. “in”וּבְקֶ֣צֶף (בְ) ve. “in”

Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

בְּכָל־ (בְּ) be. “in”

And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

בְקֹל֔וֹ (בְ) ve. “to”בְּכָל־ (בְּ) be. “with”וּבְכָל־ (בְ) ve. “with”

Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

בִּקְצֵ֣ה (בִּ) bi “at”

And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

בְּכָל־ (בְּ) be. “with”וּבְכָל־ (בְ) ve. “with”

And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.

בְּק֣וֹל (בְּ) be. “to”

And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

בְּכֹ֣ל׀ (בְּ) be. “in”בִּפְרִ֨י (בִּ) bi “in”וּבִפְרִ֧י (בִ) vi “in”וּבִפְרִ֥י (בִ) vi “in”

If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

בְּקוֹל֙ (בְּ) be. “to”בְּסֵ֥פֶר (בְּ) be. “in”בְּכָל־ (בְּ) be. “with”וּבְכָל־ (בְ) ve. “with”

They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?

בַשָּׁמַ֖יִם (בַ) va. “[is] in the”

But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

בְּפִ֥יךָ (בְּ) be. “in”וּבִֽלְבָבְךָ֖ (בִֽ) vi “in”

In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where

בִּדְרָכָ֔יו (בִּ) bi “in”בָּאָ֕רֶץ (בָּ) ba. “in the”

Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

בָכֶ֣ם (בָ) va. “against <the>”בַּֽחַיִּ֔ים (בַּֽ) ba. “<in> <the>”

In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

בְּקֹל֖וֹ (בְּ) be. “to”ב֑וֹ (ב֑) v “to”

And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,

בְּמֹעֵ֛ד (בְּ) be. “at”בְּחַ֥ג (בְּ) be. “at”

When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.

בְּב֣וֹא (בְּ) be. “when”בַּמָּק֖וֹם (בַּ) ba. “in the”בְּאָזְנֵיהֶֽם׃ (בְּ) be. “in”
