Deuteronomy 11:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ and so that the Lord may prolong your life in the land that the Lord promised to give to your forefathers and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰ The land that you are entering to take possession of is not like the land of Egypt out of which you have come. There you planted your seeds and watered the plants by hand,^[a] like you would in a vegetable garden. ¹¹ The land that you are entering to take possession of is a land of hills and valleys that obtains its water from the rain of the skies.
