⁴ only when there is no needy one with thee, for Jehovah doth greatly bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance to possess it.

²⁹ and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who `are' within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost.

¹ `And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth,

² and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:

³ `Blessed `art' thou in the city, and blessed `art' thou in the field.

⁴ `Blessed `is' the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

⁵ `Blessed `is' thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

⁶ `Blessed `art' thou in thy coming in, and blessed `art' thou in thy going out.

⁷ `Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee -- smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee.

⁸ `Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

¹¹ `And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

²⁴ There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

²⁵ A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

²¹ Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.

²⁷ Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.

¹⁰ And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath thy light, And thy thick darkness `is' as noon.

¹¹ And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters lie not.
