Deuteronomy 8:1–10

Remember the Lord Your God

8“Every commandment which I command you today ^ayou must ¹be careful to observe, that you may live and ^bmultiply, ²and go in and possess the land of which the Lord ³swore to your fathers. ²And you shall remember that the Lord your God ^cled you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and ^dtest you, ^eto know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. ³So He humbled you, ^fallowed you to hunger, and ^gfed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall ^hnot live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴ⁱYour garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. ^5jYou should ⁴know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

⁶“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, ^kto walk in His ways and to fear Him. ⁷For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, ^la land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; ⁸a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; ⁹a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. ^10mWhen you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
