Deuteronomy 8:7

Verse 7 of 20. The 8th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

3He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the LORD’s mouth.

4Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

5You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

6You shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

8a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

9a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

10You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

11Beware lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
