Deuteronomy 11:2

Love and Obedience Rewarded

1 “Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.

2 Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the¹ chastening of the Lord your God, His greatness and His mighty hand and His outstretched arm—

3 His signs and His acts which He did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;

4 what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots: ^ahow He made the waters of the Red Sea overflow them as they pursued you, and how the Lord has destroyed them to this day;

5 ^awhat He did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place;

6 and what He did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and all the substance that was¹ in their possession, in the midst of all Israel—

7 but your eyes have ^aseen every great act of the Lord which He did.

8 “Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may ^abe strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess,

9 and ^athat you may prolong your days in the land ^bwhich the Lord swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, ^c‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’

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,
