nitzavim

Nitzavim 1st Aliyah (Deu 29)9 You are standing today, all of you, before יהוה your Elohim—

the leaders of your tribes, your elders and your officers, even all the men of Isra’el, 10 your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is within your camps, from the one who cuts your wood and to the one who draws your water, 11 that you may enter into a covenant with יהוה your Elohim, and his oath, which יהוה your Elohim is making with you this day,

Nitzavim 2nd Aliyah (Deu 29)12 in order to establish you this day as his people, and that he

may be your Elohim as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya’akov. 13 But not only with you am I making this covenant and this oath 14 but with those who stand here with us today in the presence of our Elohim and also with those who are not here with us יהוהtoday.

Nitzavim 3rd Aliyah (Deu 29)

15 For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and how we passed through the nations through which you passed. 16 And you saw their abominations and their idols of wood and stone, silver and gold which were with them.


17 Perhaps there is among you a man or woman, clan or tribe whose heart turns away today from יהוה our Elohim to go and serve the gods of those nations; perhaps there is among you a root that produces bitterness or wormwood.


18 And it shall be, when he hears the words of this curse, that he will bless himself, saying, “I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” in order to add the watered land with the dry.

Nitzavim 3rd Aliyah (Deu 29) s'יהוה ,will not be willing to forgive him; rather, then יהוה 19

displeasure and his jealousy shall burn against that man, and the entire curse written in this book shall settle upon him, and shall obliterate his name from beneath the heavens. 20 יהוהAnd יהוה shall separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Isra’el, according to all the curses of the covenant, written in this Torah scroll.


21 And the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a far land, shall say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses with which יהוה has afflicted it:

Nitzavim 3rd Aliyah (Deu 29)22 Sulphur and salt have burned up its whole land—it cannot be

sown, nor can it bear anything, not even any grass will grow upon it. It is like the overthrow of S’dom, ‘Amora, Admah and Tzvoyim, which יהוה overthrew in his displeasure and in his wrath. 23 And all the nations shall say: “Why did יהוה do so to this land? What is the reason for this great rage of fury?”

Nitzavim 3rd Aliyah (Deu 29)24 Then they shall say: “It is because they abandoned the

covenant of יהוה Elohim of their fathers, the covenant which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim, 25 For they went and served other gods, prostrating themselves to them, gods which they had not known, and which he had not given to them.

Nitzavim 3rd Aliyah (Deu 29)26 And יהוה's displeasure burned against that land, bringing upon

it the entire curse written in this book. 27 And יהוה uprooted them from upon their land, with displeasure, wrath and great rage, and he cast them to another land, as it is this day.

28 The secret matters belong to יהוה our Elohim, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this Torah.

Nitzavim 4th Aliyah (Deu 30)1 And it shall be, when all these words come upon you the

blessing and the curse which I have set before you and you take them to heart among all the nations wherever יהוה your Elohim drives you, 2 and you return to יהוה your Elohim and obey his voice with all your heart and with all your being according to all that I command you today, you and your sons,

Nitzavim 4th Aliyah (Deu 30)3 then יהוה your Elohim shall restore your fortunes and have

compassion on you and shall gather you again from all the peoples where יהוה your Elohim had scattered you. 4 Even if any of your exiles are at the farthest parts of the heavens, from there יהוה your Elohim will gather you and he will bring you back from there.

Nitzavim 4th Aliyah (Deu 30)

5 And יהוה your Elohim shall bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall take possession of it. And he shall make you more prosperous and increase you more than your fathers.

Nitzavim 4th-5th Aliyah (Deu 30)

6 And יהוה your Elohim shall circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so that you may love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being, so that you may live. your Elohim shall put all these curses on your enemies יהוה 7and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey יהוה and do all his mitzvot, which I command you today.

Nitzavim 5th Aliyah (Deu 30)9 Then יהוה your Elohim shall make you abundant in all the work

of your hands, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock and in the crops of your ground. For יהוה will again rejoice in you for good, just as he rejoiced in your fathers, 10 if you obey יהוה your Elohim, to guard his mitzvot and his laws that are written in this Book of the Torah and when you turn to .your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being יהוה

Nitzavim 6th Aliyah (Deu 30)11 For this mitzvah which I command you today is not too hard

for you nor is it out of reach. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who shall go up into heaven for us to get it for us and proclaim it to us so that we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who shall cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us, to proclaim it to us, so that we may do it?”

Nitzavim 6th-7th Aliyah (Deu 30)

14 Rather, this thing is very close to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so that you may do it.

15 See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil;

Nitzavim 7th Aliyah (Deu 30)16 inasmuch as I command you today to love יהוה your Elohim,

to walk in his ways, and to guard his mitzvot, his laws and his right-rulings; so that you shall live and increase, and יהוה your Elohim shall bless you in the land to which you are entering to possess it. 17 But if your heart turns away and you do not obey, and you shall be drawn away, and you shall prostrate yourself to other gods and serve them,

Nitzavim 7th Aliyah (Deu 30)18 I declare to you this day that you shall certainly perish, and

that you shall not prolong your days in the land to which you are crossing the Yarden to enter and possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. You shall choose life, so that you may live, you and your descendants,

Nitzavim 7th Aliyah (Deu 30)

20 to love יהוה your Elohim, and to listen to his voice, and to cling to him. For that is your life, and the length of your days, to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya’akov to give to them.
