5. and what He did to 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, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, among all Israel-
7. but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord which He did.
8. "You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it;
9. so that you may prolong your days on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10. For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden.
11. But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven,
12. a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year.
13. "It shall come about, if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul,
14. that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
15. He will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
