Context of Deuteronomy 8:7
5And know in thy heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee; 6and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills; 8a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey; 9a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, where thou shalt lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou wilt dig copper.
