He may be carried back to his Father's house, and there 'have bread
enough and to spare,' if a deliverer can be found. And He has been

shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17. But

drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18. I denounce unto
you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not

to possess it. 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against
