Deuteronomy 11:8-15 - The Abundance Of The Land Of Promise

8 "Keep all the commands that I'm giving you today, so you can be strong enough to enter and possess the land that you are crossing over to inherit 9 and so you'll live long in the land that the LORD your God promised by an oath to give your ancestors and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 For the land that you are about to enter to inherit isn't like the land of Egypt that you just left, where you plant a seed and irrigate it with your feet like a vegetable garden. 11 Instead, the land that you are crossing over to inherit is a land of hills and valleys that drinks water supplied by rain from heaven, 12 a land about which the LORD your God is always concerned, because the eyes of the LORD are continuously on it throughout the entire year."

13 "If you carefully observe the commands that I'm giving you today, to love the LORD your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, 14 then he will send rain on the land in its season the early and latter rains then you'll gather grain, new wine, and oil. 15 He will provide grass on the fields for your livestock, and you'll eat and be satisfied.
