Deuteronomy 11 — Context

6

And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

7

But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.

8

So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

9

And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10

For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

11

But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

12

A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.
