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.
18 “Therefore ayou shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your bsoul, and cbind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 aYou 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.
