Deuteronomy 11:8-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Therefore, keep the whole set of commands that I am giving you today so that you may have the strength to enter and take possession of the land that you are about to cross into and possess, 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. ¹² It is a land that the Lord your God takes care of. The eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it, from the start to the end of the year.
