10 The land you are about to enter and possess is definitely not like the land of Egypt, where you came from, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it by hand like a vegetable garden.
11 No, the land you are entering to possess is a land of hills and valleys, where your drinking water will be rain from heaven.
12 It’s a land that the Lord cares for: the Lord’s eyes are on it constantly from the first of the year until the very end of the year.
13 Now, if you completely obey God’s commandments that I am giving you right now, by loving the Lord your God and by serving him with all your heart and all your being,
14 then he will provide rain for your land at the right time—early rain and late rain—so you can stock up your grain, wine, and oil.
15 He will also make your fields lush for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.
