The Promise of Restoration
1
[“]- When all these things come upon you— the blessings and curses I have set before you— and you call [them] to mind in all the nations to which [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God… has banished you,
וְהָיָה֩ כִֽי־ כָּל־ הָאֵ֗לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֣ים יָבֹ֨אוּ עָלֶ֜יךָ הַבְּרָכָה֙ וְהַקְּלָלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וַהֲשֵׁבֹתָ֙ אֶל־ לְבָבֶ֔ךָ בְּכָל־ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֧ר יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ שָֽׁמָּה׃ הִדִּיחֲךָ֛ wə·hā·yāh ḵî- kāl- hā·’êl·leh had·də·ḇā·rîm yā·ḇō·’ū ‘ā·le·ḵā hab·bə·rā·ḵāh wə·haq·qə·lā·lāh ’ă·šer nā·ṯat·tî lə·p̄ā·ne·ḵā wa·hă·šê·ḇō·ṯā ’el- lə·ḇā·ḇe·ḵā bə·ḵāl hag·gō·w·yim ’ă·šer Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā šām·māh hid·dî·ḥă·ḵā — WLC · 1

and when you and your children return to [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,
אַתָּ֣ה וּבָנֶ֔יךָ וְשַׁבְתָּ֞ עַד־ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֣ בְקֹל֔וֹ כְּכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ לְבָבְךָ֖ בְּכָל־ נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃ וּבְכָל־ אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּ֑וֹם ’at·tāh ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā wə·šaḇ·tā ‘aḏ- Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā wə·šā·ma‘·tā ḇə·qō·lōw kə·ḵōl ’ă·šer- lə·ḇā·ḇə·ḵā bə·ḵāl nap̄·še·ḵā ū·ḇə·ḵāl ’ā·nō·ḵî mə·ṣaw·wə·ḵā hay·yō·wm — WLC · 2

then [He]… will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you… and gather you from all the nations to which [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God… has scattered you.

Even if you have been banished… to the farthest horizon, He… will gather you and return you from there.
אִם־ נִֽדַּחֲךָ֖ יִהְיֶ֥ה בִּקְצֵ֣ה הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ וּמִשָּׁ֖ם יְקַבֶּצְךָ֙ יִקָּחֶֽךָ׃ מִשָּׁ֗ם ’im- nid·da·ḥă·ḵā yih·yeh biq·ṣêh haš·šā·mā·yim Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā ū·miš·šām yə·qab·beṣ·ḵā yiq·qā·ḥe·ḵā miš·šām — WLC · 4

And [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.
יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֞ אֶל־ הָאָ֛רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ אֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ יָרְשׁ֥וּ וִֽירִשְׁתָּ֑הּ וְהֵיטִֽבְךָ֥ וְהִרְבְּךָ֖ מֵאֲבֹתֶֽיךָ׃ Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā we·hĕ·ḇî·’ă·ḵā ’el- hā·’ā·reṣ ’ă·šer- ’ă·ḇō·ṯe·ḵā yā·rə·šū wî·riš·tāh wə·hê·ṭiḇ·ḵā wə·hir·bə·ḵā mê·’ă·ḇō·ṯe·ḵā — WLC · 5

6
The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him… with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ אֶת־ וּמָ֨ל לְבָבְךָ֖ וְאֶת־ לְבַ֣ב זַרְעֶ֑ךָ לְאַהֲבָ֞ה אֶת־ יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ בְּכָל־ לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכָל־ נַפְשְׁךָ֖ לְמַ֥עַן חַיֶּֽיךָ׃ Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā ’eṯ- ū·māl lə·ḇā·ḇə·ḵā wə·’eṯ- lə·ḇaḇ zar·‘e·ḵā lə·’a·hă·ḇāh ’eṯ- Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā bə·ḵāl lə·ḇā·ḇə·ḵā ū·ḇə·ḵāl nap̄·šə·ḵā lə·ma·‘an ḥay·ye·ḵā — WLC · 6

Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God will put all these curses upon your enemies… who hate you and persecute you.
יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֵ֥ת וְנָתַן֙ כָּל־ הָאֵ֑לֶּה הָאָל֖וֹת עַל־ אֹיְבֶ֥יךָ וְעַל־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר שֹׂנְאֶ֖יךָ רְדָפֽוּךָ׃ Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā ’êṯ wə·nā·ṯan kāl- hā·’êl·leh hā·’ā·lō·wṯ ‘al- ’ō·yə·ḇe·ḵā wə·‘al- ’ă·šer śō·nə·’e·ḵā rə·ḏā·p̄ū·ḵā — WLC · 7

And you will again obey the voice of [[YHWH|the LORD]] and follow all His commandments I am giving you today…
וְאַתָּ֣ה תָשׁ֔וּב וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֖ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה וְעָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־ כָּל־ מִצְוֺתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּֽוֹם׃ wə·’at·tāh ṯā·šūḇ wə·šā·ma‘·tā bə·qō·wl Yah·weh wə·‘ā·śî·ṯā ’eṯ- kāl- miṣ·wō·ṯāw ’ă·šer ’ā·nō·ḵî mə·ṣaw·wə·ḵā hay·yō·wm — WLC · 8

So [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands [and] in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land -. Indeed, [[YHWH|the LORD]] will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers,

if you obey… [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, [and] if you turn to Him… with all your heart and with all your soul.

The Choice of Life or Death

It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’
