Deuteronomy 11:8-17

8Therefore shall ye keepH8104 all the commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I commandH6680 you this dayH3117, that ye may be strongH2388, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776, whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it; 9And that ye may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH127, which YhwhH3068 swareH7650 unto your fathersH1 to giveH5414 unto them and to their seedH2233, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

10For the landH776, whither thou goest inH935 to possessH3423 it, is not as the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from whence ye came outH3318, where thou sowedstH2232 thy seedH2233, and wateredstH8248 it with thy footH7272, as a gardenH1588 of herbsH3419: 11But the landH776, whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it, is a landH776 of hillsH2022 and valleysH1237, and drinkethH8354 waterH4325 of the rainH4306 of heavenH8064: 12A landH776 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 careth forH1875: the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 are alwaysH8548 upon it, from the beginningH7225 of the yearH8141 even unto the endH319 of the yearH8141.1

13And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto my commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 you this dayH3117, to loveH157 YhwhH3068 your GodH430, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315, 14That I will giveH5414 you the rainH4306 of your landH776 in his due seasonH6256, the first rainH3138 and the latter rainH4456, that thou mayest gatherH622 in thy grainH1715, and thy wineH8492, and thine oilH3323. 15And I will sendH5414 grassH6212 in thy fieldsH7704 for thy cattleH929, that thou mayest eatH398 and be fullH7646.2 16Take heedH8104 to yourselves, that your heartH3824 be not deceivedH6601, and ye turn asideH5493, and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them; 17And then Yhwh'sH3068 wrathH639 be kindledH2734 against you, and he shut upH6113 the heavenH8064, that there be no rainH4306, and that the landH127 yieldH5414 not her fruitH2981; and lest ye perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which YhwhH3068 givethH5414 you.
