Deuteronomy 11:10-21

10For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it 1by your foot like a vegetable garden. 11But 2the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12a land for which the Lord your God cares; 3the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it, from the 4beginning even to the end of the year.

13“And it shall come about, 5if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, 6to love the Lord your God and to serve Him 7with all your heart and all your soul, 14that 89He will provide rain for your land in its season, the 1011early and 12late rain, so that you may gather your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 151314He will also provide grass in your field for your cattle, and 15you will eat and be satisfied. 161617Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. 17Otherwise, 18the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will 19shut up the sky 20so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then 21you will quickly perish from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18“22You shall therefore take these words of mine to 23heart and to soul; and you shall tie them as a sign on your 24hand, and they shall be as 25frontlets 26on your forehead. 1927You shall also teach them to your sons, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. 2028And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21so that 29your days and the days of your sons may be increased on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as 3031long as the heavens are above the earth.
