‘And it shall be that if you diligently obey My commands which I command you today, to love Yahweh your Elohim and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your being, then I shall give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, and you shall gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil. ‘And I shall give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be satisfied. ‘Guard yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other mighty ones and bow down to them. ‘Then the displeasure of Yahweh shall burn against you, and He shall shut up the heavens, and there be no rain, and the land not give its increase. And you shall perish quickly from the good land which Yahweh is giving you. (Deuteronomy 11:13-17) |
