Deuteronomy 11:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ and so that you may live for a long time on the land that the Lord your God swore to give to your fathers and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ The land that you are about to enter and possess is not like that land of Egypt that you left, where you were accustomed to sow your seed and water it by hand^[a] like a vegetable garden. ¹¹ But the land you are entering to possess is a land of mountains and valleys. It drinks water provided by rain from the heavens.
