Deuteronomy 11:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ How carefully, then, you should obey these commandments I am going to give you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land you are about to enter. ⁹ If you obey the commandments, you will have a long and good life in the land the Lord promised to your ancestors and to you, their descendants—a wonderful land ‘flowing with milk and honey’! ¹⁰ For the land you are about to enter and possess is not like the land of Egypt where you have come from, where irrigation is necessary.
