Deuteronomy 8:1-8 ▼

1 “All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;

2 and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.

3 And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.

4 Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,

5 and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,

6 and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

7 For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;

8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
