Deuteronomy 11:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 Therefore, keep all of the commandments that I give you today so that you may be strong and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess 9 and so that the Lord may prolong your life in the land that the Lord promised to give to your forefathers and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 The land that you are entering to take possession of is not like the land of Egypt out of which you have come. There you planted your seeds and watered the plants by hand,[a] like you would in a vegetable garden.
