The Blessings of Obedience

“Therefore, be careful to obey every command I am giving you today, so you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are about to enter. If you obey, you will enjoy a long life in the land the Lord swore to give to your ancestors and to you, their descendants—a land flowing with milk and honey! 10 For the land you are about to enter and take over is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you planted your seed and made irrigation ditches with your foot as in a vegetable garden. 11 Rather, the land you will soon take over is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain— 12 a land that the Lord your God cares for. He watches over it through each season of the year!

“You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, (A)so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it; (B)so that you may prolong your days on the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, (C)a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came out, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your [a]foot like a vegetable garden. 11 But (D)the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 a land for which Yahweh your God cares; (E)the eyes of Yahweh your God are always on it, from the [b]beginning even to the end of the year.
