Deuteronomy 8:1-11

New King James Version

Remember the Lord Your God

8 “Every commandment which I command you today ^(A)you must ^[a]be careful to observe, that you may live and ^(B)multiply,^[b] and go in and possess the land of which the Lord ^[c]swore to your fathers. ²And you shall remember that the Lord your God ^(C)led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and ^(D)test you, ^(E)to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. ³So He humbled you, ^(F)allowed you to hunger, and ^(G)fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall ^(H)not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴^(I)Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. ⁵^(J)You should ^[d]know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

⁶“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, ^(K)to walk in His ways and to fear Him. ⁷For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, ^(L)a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; ⁸a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; ⁹a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. ¹⁰^(M)When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
