Deuteronomy 8:1–10

“All of the commandments^a that I am commanding you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and multiply, and you may go and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors.^{b 2}And you shall remember all of the way that Yahweh your God led you during these forty years in the desert in order to humble you and to test you to know what is in your heart, whether you would diligently keep his commandments or not. ³And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and then he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors^c know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all that goes out^d of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live. ⁴Your clothing did not wear out on you,^e and your feet did not swell during these forty years. ⁵And you should know with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God is disciplining you.^{f 6}So you must keep the commandments of Yahweh your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. ⁷For Yahweh your God is bringing you to a good land with streams of water, springs and underground water, welling up in the valleys^g and in the hills,^{h 8}to a land of wheat and barley and vinesⁱ and fig trees^j and pomegranate trees,^k a land of olive trees,^l olive oil and honey; ⁹to a land where you may eat food in it without scarcity;^m you will not find anything lacking in it, a land where its stones are iron and from its mountains you can mine copper. ¹⁰And you will eat, and you will be satisfied,ⁿ and you will bless Yahweh your God because of the good land that he has given to you.
