Deuteronomy 11:9-24

CLV(i) 9 and that you may prolong your days on the ground about which Yahweh had sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land gushing with milk and honey. 10 For the land, where you are entering to tenant it, is not like the country of Egypt, that one from where you came forth, in which you sowed your seed and irrigated it with your foot as a garden of greens. 11 But the land, where you are crossing over to tenant it, is a land of hills and valleys; it drinks water from the rain of the heavens;" 12 a land which Yahweh your Elohim is caring for. Continually are the eyes of Yahweh your Elohim on it from the beginning of the year until the last part of the year. 13 It will come to be when you shall hearken, yea hearken to My instructions that I am enjoining on you today, to love Yahweh your Elohim and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then He will give rain to your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain. You will gather your grain, your grape juice and your clarified oil, 15 and He will give herbage in your field for your domestic beasts; thus you will eat and be satisfied. 16 Guard yourselves lest your heart should be enticed, and you withdraw, serve other elohim and bow down to them. 17 Then the anger of Yahweh will grow hot against you, and He will restrain the heavens so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not give its crop, and you will perish quickly off the good land that Yahweh is giving to you. 18 Hence place these my words in your heart and in your soul, and tie them as a sign on your hand, and let them come to be as brow-bands between your eyes. 19 Teach them to your sons, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you arise. 20 Write them on the jambs of your house and on your gates, 21 that your days and the days of your sons may be many on the ground about which Yahweh had sworn to your fathers to give to them, as many as the days of the heavens over the earth. 22 For if you should observe, yea observe all this instruction which I am enjoining on you today, to obey it, to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in all His ways and to cling to Him, 23 then Yahweh will evict all these nations from before you, and you will tenant in the place of nations greater and more substantial than you. 24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall become yours. From the wilderness and the Lebanon, from the great stream, the stream Euphrates, as far as the western sea shall become your territory.
