Sh'lishi (Third Aliyah)

Verse 15: For you are aware how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the nations whom you passed through.

Verse 16: Where you observed their abominations and their loathsomeness [idols], wood and stone, silver and gold, that they owned.

Verse 17: Perhaps there is among you a man or a woman or a family or a tribe whose thoughts stray today from [being] with Ad-noy, our G-d, to go serve the gods of those nations; lest there is within you a root producing gall and bitter fruit.

Verse 18: When he hears the statements of this oath-curse, he will imagine self-blessings, saying, "Peace will be my lot when I shall follow what my thoughts envision," so that the unintentional may be added to the sinful.

Verse 19: Ad-noy will be unwilling to forgive him, because then Ad-noy's nostrils will fume and His vengeful fury enflame against that man, and there will cling to him the entire oath-curse written in this book; and Ad-noy will eliminate his name from beneath the sky.

Verse 20: And Ad-noy will seperate him for harm from all the tribes of Yisroel, in accord with all the oath-curses of the covenant inscribed in this Torah scroll.

Verse 22: Sulfur and salt, all its land, will be burnt, it will not be seeded, and it will not sprout, and no grass will grow there; like the overturning of Sodom and Amoroh, Admoh and Tzevoyim, which Ad-noy overturned in His anger and His wrath.

Verse 23: And all the nations will say, "For what did Ad-noy do so to this land? Why the vigor of this great anger?"

Verse 9: Ad-noy, your G-d, will give you surplus in all your endeavors, in the fruit of your belly, and in the offspring of your animals, and in the produce of your soil--- for benefit; for Ad-noy will return to rejoice over you for benefit as He rejoiced over your forefathers.

Verse 10: When you obey Ad-noy, your G-d, to guard His commandments and His statutes, written in this Torah scroll; when you turn back to Ad-noy, your G-d, wholeheartedly and with all your being.

Shishi (Sixth Aliyah)

Verse 11: For this mitzvah that I am commanding you today; it is not abstruse to you nor is it distant.

Verse 12: It is not in heaven, [for you] to say, "Who will go up to heaven for us, and acquire it for us, and inform us of it, and we will fulfill it?"

Verse 16: For which I command you this day, to love Ad-noy, your G-d, to go in His ways and to guard His commandments and His statutes and His laws; and you will live and you will flourish, and Ad-noy, your G-d, will bless you in the land that you are coming there to inherit.

Verse 17: But if your heart strays and you do not listen, and you are misled, and you prostrate yourself to other gods and worship them.

Verse 18: I tell you today that you shall certainly perish; you will not remain long on the land that you are crossing the Yardein to come there to inherit.

Verse 19: I invoke, as witnesses against you this day, heaven and earth: Life and death have I placed before you, blessing and curse; you choose life in order that you live, you and your descendants,

Verse 20: To love Ad-noy, your G-d, to obey Him and to cling to Him; for He is your life and your longevity, to live on the soil that Ad-noy swore to your forefathers--- to Avrohom, to Yitzchok, and to Yaakov--- to give them.
