Deuteronomy:11:9-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And that ye may prolong your days in the land ,
which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed ,
a land that floweth with milk and honey .
*
For the land ,
whither thou goest in to possess it ,
is not as the land of Egypt ,
from whence ye came out ,
where thou sowedst thy seed ,
and wateredst it with thy foot ,
as a garden of herbs :
*
But the land ,
whither ye go to possess it ,
is a land of hills and valleys biq #
ah #,
and drinketh water of the rain of heaven :
*
A land which the LORD thy God careth for :
the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it ,
from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day ,
to love the LORD your God ,
and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul ,
*
That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season ,
the first rain and the latter rain ,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn ,
and thy wine ,
and thine oil .
*
And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle ,
that thou mayest eat and be full .
*
Take heed to yourselves ,
that your heart be not deceived ,
and ye turn aside ,
and serve other gods ,
and worship them ;
*
And then the LORDS wrath be kindled against you ,
and he shut up the heaven ,
that there be no rain ,
and that the land yield not her fruit ;
and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you .
*
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul ,
and bind them for a sign upon your hand ,
that they may be as frontlets between your eyes .
*
And ye shall teach them your children ,
speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house ,
and when thou walkest by the way ,
when thou liest down ,
and when thou risest up .
*
And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house ,
and upon thy gates sha #
ar #:
*
That your days may be multiplied ,
and the days of your children ,
in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them ,
as the days of heaven upon the earth .
*
For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you ,
to do them ,
to love the LORD your God ,
to walk in all his ways ,
and to cleave unto him ;
*
Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you ,
and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves .
*
Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours :
from the wilderness and Lebanon ,
from the river ,
the river Euphrates ,
even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be .
