* All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do , that ye may live , and multiply , and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers . * And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness , to humble thee , and to prove thee , to know what was in thine heart , whether thou wouldest keep his commandments , or no . * And he humbled thee , and suffered thee to hunger , and fed thee with manna , which thou knewest not , neither did thy fathers know ; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only , but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live . * Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee , neither did thy foot swell , these forty years . * Thou shalt also consider in thine heart , that , as a man chasteneth his son , so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee . * Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God , to walk in his ways , and to fear him . * For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land , a land of brooks of water , of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills ; * A land of wheat , and barley , and vines , and fig trees , and pomegranates ; a land of oil olive , and honey ; * A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness , thou shalt not lack any thing in it ; a land whose stones are iron , and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass . * When thou hast eaten and art full , then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee .
