THE SH’MA AND ITS BLESSINGS
During the silence the traditional second and third paragraphs of the Sh’ma may be read, or the alternative Biblical passages on pages 689–697.
d¨i ¨d §e This will happen if you listen carefully to My commands which I give you today, to love and to serve the Eternal your God with all your heart and all your soul. I shall then give your land rain at the right time, the autumn rain and the spring rain, so that each one of you can harvest your own grain, wine and oil. I shall also give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Take care that your heart is not deceived into straying, obeying other gods and worshipping them. God’s anger will then blaze out against you. God will shut up the sky. There will be no rain. The land will not produce, and you will quickly be destroyed from the good land which God gives you. So put these words of Mine in your heart and in your soul, and secure them as a sign upon your hand and as reminders before your eyes. Teach them to your children, and talk about them ‘when you sit each of you in your home, and when you walk in the street, when you lie down and when you rise up. Write them on the doorposts of your home and at your gates.’ Then you and your children may live long on the land that God promised to give your ancestors as long as there is a sky over the earth. 1
