Deuteronomy 8:1-10
1All the commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 shall ye observeH8104 to doH6213, that ye may liveH2421, and multiplyH7235, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which YhwhH3068 swareH7650 unto your fathersH1.
2And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
3And he humbledH6031 thee, and suffered thee to hungerH7456, and fedH398 thee with mannaH4478, which thou knewestH3045 not, neither did thy fathersH1 knowH3045; that he might make thee knowH3045 that manH120 doth not liveH2421 by breadH3899 onlyH905, but by every word that proceedethH4161 out of the mouthH6310 of YhwhH3068 doth manH120 liveH2421.
4Thy raimentH8071 waxed not oldH1086 upon thee, neither did thy footH7272 swellH1216, these fortyH705 yearsH8141.
5Thou shalt also considerH3045 inH5973 thine heartH3824, that, as a manH376 chastenethH3256 his sonH1121, so YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 chastenethH3256 thee.
6Therefore thou shalt keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in his waysH1870, and to fearH3372 him.
7For YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 bringethH935 thee into a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of brooksH5158 of waterH4325, of fountainsH5869 and depthsH8415 that spring outH3318 of valleysH1237 and hillsH2022;
8A landH776 of wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and vinesH1612, and fig treesH8384, and pomegranatesH7416; a landH776 of oilH8081 oliveH2132, and honeyH1706;1
9A landH776 whereinH834 thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 withoutH3808 scarcenessH4544, thou shalt not lackH2637 any thing in it; a landH776 whose stonesH68 are ironH1270, and out of whose hillsH2042 thou mayest digH2672 brassH5178.
10When thou hast eatenH398 and art fullH7646, then thou shalt blessH1288 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 for the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 thee.
