Deuteronomy 8:3-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and then he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all that goes out of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live.

4. Your clothing did not wear out on you, and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

5. And you should know with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God is disciplining you.

6. So you must keep the commandments of Yahweh your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.

7. For Yahweh your God is bringing you to a good land with streams of water, springs and underground water, welling up in the valleys and in the hills,

8. to a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranate trees, a land of olive trees, olive oil and honey;

9. to a land where you may eat food in it without scarcity; you will not find anything lacking in it, a land where its stones are iron and from its mountains you can mine copper.
