7. The fact of the matter is, your own eyes have seen all of the great deeds of Yahweh that he did.
8. “And you must keep all of the commandments that I am commanding you today, so that you may have strength and you may go and you may take possession of that land to which you are crossing to take possession of it,
9. so that you may live long on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to give it to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10. For the fact is that the land that you are about to go into to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come out of, where you sow your seed and you give water by your foot, as in a vegetable garden.
11. But the land that you are about to cross into to take possession of it is a land of hills and valleys, and by the rain of the heaven it drinks water,
12. a land that Yahweh your God is caring for it; continually the eyes of Yahweh your God are on it, from the beginning of the year up to the end of the year.
13. “And it will happen that if you listen carefully to my commandments that I am commanding you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all of your heart and with all of your soul,
14. then ‘I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil.
15. And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and you will eat your fill.’
16. Take care so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them.
17. And then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, and there shall not be rain, and so the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh is giving to you.
