Deuteronomy 8:1-13 ▼

1 All the commaundmentes which I commaunde the this daye ye shal kepe for to do them, that ye maye lyue and multiplye and goo and possesse the londe whiche the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers.

2 And thinke on all the waye which the Lorde thy God led the this .xl. yere in the wildernesse, for to humble the ad to proue the, to wete what was in thine herte, whether thou woldest kepe his commaundmentes or no,

3 He humbled the and made the hongre and fed the with man which nether thou nor thy father knewe of. to make the know that a man must not lyue by bred only: but by al that procedeth out of the mouth of the Lorde must a man lyue.

4 Thy rayment waxed not olde vppon the, nether dyd thy fete swell thys xl. yere.

5 Vnderstonde therfore in thine herte, that as a man nurtereth his sonne, euen so the Lorde thy God nurtereth the.

6 Kepe therfore the commaundmentes of the Lorde thy God that thou walke in his wayes and that thou feare him

7 For the Lorde thy God bringeth the in to a good lande, a londe of riuers of water, of foutens and of springes that springe out both in valayes and hylles:

8 a londe of whete and of barly, of vynes, figtrees and pomgranates, a lond of olyuetrees with oyle and of honye:

9 a lande wherin thou shalt not eate bred in scarcenesse, and where thou shalt lacke nothinge, a londe whose stones are yerne, and out of whose hylles thou shalt dygge brasse.

10 When thou hast eaten therfore and filled thy selfe, then blesse the Lord for the good lond which he hath geuen the.

11 But bewarre that thou forgett not the Lorde thy God, that thou woldest not kepe his comaundmentes, lawes and ordinaunces which I commaunde the this daye:

12 yee and when thou hast eate ad filled thy selfe ad hast bylt goodly housses ad dwelt therin,

13 ad when thy beesse ad thy shepe are waxed manye ad thy syluer ad golde is multiplied
