My bow, have I set in the cloud,—and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth,—and the bow in the cloud appeareth,then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh,—that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh:

Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation.

And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful,—And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.And ye shall eat old store well seasoned,—And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.And I will set my habitation in your midst,—And my soul shall not abhor you;But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto me a people.

Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them,—that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
See! I have set before thee, to-day, life and prosperity,—and death and calamity;for thou must keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Yahweh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes, and his regulations,—so shalt thou live and multiply, and Yahweh thy God will bless thee, in the land which thou art entering to possess.
