for your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.

For the land which you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your feet, like a garden of vegetables;

a land which the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.

And he will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.

For if you will be careful to do all this commandment which I command you to do, loving the LORD your God, walking in all his ways, and cleaving to him,

For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land which the LORD your God gives you; and when you possess it and live in it,

for you have not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which the LORD your God gives you.

Be careful to heed all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you for ever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.

You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God; it shall be a heap for ever, it shall not be built again.

"You are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead.

And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.
