Ki Tavo (When You Enter)
Deuteronomy 26:1–29:9 (8); Isaiah 60:1–22; 1 Peter 2:1–25
“When you have entered [ki tavo] the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance ... take some of the firstfruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land the Lord your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for His name.” (Deuteronomy 26:1–2)
Ki Tavo promises that obedience to God will be rewarded. These rewards include Divine protection, prosperity, and blessings on families and future generations.
Disobedience and rebellion against God, however, result in punishment; the Word of God lists 98 chilling admonitions that take up half of this Parasha. These include diseases, plagues, poverty, famine, slavery, and defeat by enemies.
