10 For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; 11 (A)but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; (B)the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.

13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly [a]obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then (C)I[b] will give you the rain for your land in its season, (D)the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 (E)And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may (F)eat and be [c]filled.’

10 The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt,(A) from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. 11 But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys(B) that drinks rain from heaven.(C) 12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes(D) of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.

13 So if you faithfully obey(E) the commands I am giving you today—to love(F) the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul(G) 14 then I will send rain(H) on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains,(I) so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. 15 I will provide grass(J) in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.(K)
