Ask a Question"Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;
"And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you.
"And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
"The LORD delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.
"Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
"Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.
"Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastening of the LORD your God, His greatness and His mighty hand and His outstretched arm -
"His signs and His acts which He did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;
"what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots: how He made the waters of the Red Sea overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
"what He did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
"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 was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel -
"but your eyes have seen every great act of the LORD which He did.
"Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess,
"and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, 'a land flowing with milk and honey.'
"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;
"but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven,
"a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.
'And it shall be that if you earnestly 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,
'then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
'And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.'
