8:7 For the
Lord your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks,
springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,
8:8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, of olive trees and honey,
8:9 a land where you may eat food
in plenty and find no lack of anything, a land whose stones are iron
and from whose hills you can mine copper.

Lord your God looks after.
He is constantly attentive to it
from the beginning to the end of the year.

3:19 “I thought to myself,
‘Oh what a joy it would be for me to treat you like a son!
What a joy it would be for me to give you a pleasant land,
the most beautiful piece of property there is in all the world!’
I thought you would call me, ‘Father’
and would never cease being loyal to me.

20:6 On that day I swore
to bring them out of the land of Egypt to a land which I had picked out
for them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
the most beautiful of all lands.
