8 Therefore keep all &c. 9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. 10 For the land which thou goest unto to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence thou camest: where thou diddest sow thy seed and water it with thy feet as a garden of herbs: 11 But the Land which thou goest unto to possess, is a land wherein are hills and plains, and it drinketh rain water from the sky. 12 It is a land which the Lord thy God regardeth: the eyes of the Lord thy God are continually upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. 13 And if ye be diligent in obeying my commandments which I command you this day, so as ye love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your hart and with all your soul: 14 Then will I give the foreraine and the afterraine in season upon your land, that thou mayest gather up thy Corn, thy Wine, and thine Oil. 15 Also I will give thee grass upon the field for thy Cattle. So shalt thou eat and have thy fill.
