I call today heaven and earth to witness, that is, angels and men , that I have set forth to you life and death, good and evil, blessing and cursing; therefore choose thou life, that both thou live and thy seed,
and that thou love thy Lord God, and obey to his voice, and cleave to him, for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he should give it to them.
