Context of Deuteronomy 11:23

21That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yhwh sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 22For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love Yhwh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; Then will Yhwh drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 24Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 25There shall no man be able to stand before you: for Yhwh your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
