"a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey. "
— Deuteronomy 8:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;”
“a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey; ”
“a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;”
“a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, of olive trees and honey,”
“A land of wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: a land of oil and honey.”
“A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;”
“A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;”
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
