Revised Literal Translation
Deuteronomy 8:1-10
1All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yhwh sware unto your fathers.
2And thou shalt remember all the way which Yhwh thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yhwh doth man live.
4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Yhwh thy God chasteneth thee.
6Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of Yhwh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7For Yhwh thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;1
9A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless Yhwh thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
