and (A)that you may prolong your days in the land (B)which the Lord [a]swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, (C)‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ 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 (D)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; (E)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 [b]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 (F)I[c] will give you the rain for your land in its season, (G)the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 (H)And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may (I)eat and be [d]filled.’ 16 Take heed to yourselves, (J)lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and (K)serve other gods and worship them, 17 lest (L)the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He (M)shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and (N)you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18 “Therefore (O)you shall [e]lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your (P)soul, and (Q)bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 (R)You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20 (S)And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 that (T)your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like (U)the days of the heavens above the earth.

22 “For if (V)you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and (W)to hold fast to Him— 23 then the Lord will (X)drive out all these nations from before you, and you will (Y)dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. 24 (Z)Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: (AA)from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the [f]Western Sea, shall be your territory.

and so that you may live long(A) in the land the Lord swore(B) to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.(C) 10 The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt,(D) 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(E) that drinks rain from heaven.(F) 12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes(G) of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.

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

16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.(O) 17 Then the Lord’s anger(P) will burn against you, and he will shut up(Q) the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,(R) and you will soon perish(S) from the good land the Lord is giving you. 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.(T) 19 Teach them to your children,(U) talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.(V) 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,(W) 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many(X) in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.(Y)

22 If you carefully observe(Z) all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love(AA) the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast(AB) to him— 23 then the Lord will drive out(AC) all these nations(AD) before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.(AE) 24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours:(AF) Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River(AG) to the Mediterranean Sea.
