[2]And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

[4]Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
[5]Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
[6]Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
