7. It was you who saw all these great things the Lord has done.
8. So obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will be strong. Then you can go in and take the land you are going to own.
9. Then you will live a long time in that land. The Lord promised to give it to your ancestors and their descendants. It is a land where much food grows.
10. The land you are going to take is not like Egypt, where you were. There you had to plant your seed. Then you had to water it, like a vegetable garden, by using your feet.
11. But you will soon cross the Jordan River and take the land. It is a land of hills and valleys. It drinks rain from heaven.
