Deuteronomy 11:12
Compare all
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 abut 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; athe 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 earnestly1 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 aI will give you the rain for your land in its season, bthe early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.  
15 aAnd I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may beat and be filled.’  
16 “Take heed to yourselves, alest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and bserve other gods and worship them,  
17 lest athe Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He bshut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and cyou perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Deuteronomy 11:11   Deuteronomy 11:13 >>


Deuteronomy 11:12

Careth for - In a special manner watering it immediately as it were by his own hand, without man's help, and giving peculiar blessings to it, which Egypt enjoys not. To the end of the year - To give it the rain, and other blessings proper to the several seasons. But all these mercies, and the fruitfulness of the land consequent upon them, were suspended upon their disobedience. And therefore it is not at all strange that some later writers, describe the land of Canaan as a barren soil, which is, so far from affording ground to question the authority of the scriptures, that it doth much more confirm it, this, being an effect of that threatning that God would turn a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of these that dwell in it, Psalms 107:34.
