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

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks,<n id="1" /> springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,

a land where you may eat food<n id="1" /> in plenty and find no lack of anything, a land whose stones are iron<n id="2" /> and from whose hills you can mine copper.

and all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the distant<n id="1" /> sea,

From there they traveled to Gudgodah,<n id="1" /> and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah,<n id="2" /> a place of flowing streams.

<p class="poetry">with the harvest of the earth and its fullnessp> <p class="poetry">and the pleasure of him who resided in the burning bush.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">May blessing rest on Joseph&#8217;s head,p> <p class="poetry">and on the top of the head of the one set apart<n id="2" /> from his brothers.p>

<p class="bodytext">(That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaites.<n id="1" /> The Rephaites lived there originally; the Ammonites call them Zamzummites.<n id="2" />

However, you did not approach the land of the Ammonites, the Wadi Jabbok,<n id="1" /> the cities of the hill country, or any place else forbidden by the <sc>Lordsc> our God.p>

They possessed his land and that of King Og of Bashan &#8211; both of whom were Amorite kings in the Transjordan, to the east.

and that you may enjoy long life in the land the <sc>Lordsc> promised to give to your ancestors<n id="1" /> and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Instead, the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy<n id="1" /> is one of hills and valleys, a land that drinks in water from the rains,<n id="2" />

a land the <sc>Lordsc> your God looks after.<n id="1" /> He is constantly attentive to it<n id="2" /> from the beginning to the end of the year.<n id="3" />

Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

So the <sc>Lordsc> has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.&#8221;

<p class="poetry">He enabled him<n id="1" /> to travel over the high terrain of the land,p> <p class="poetry">and he ate of the produce of the fields.p> <p class="poetry">He provided honey for him from the cliffs,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and olive oil<n id="3" /> from the hardest of<n id="4" /> rocks,<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">For a fire has been kindled by my anger,p> <p class="poetry">and it burns to lowest Sheol;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">it consumes the earth and its produce,p> <p class="poetry">and ignites the foundations of the mountains.p>

<p class="poetry">Israel lives in safety,p> <p class="poetry">the fountain of Jacob is quite secure,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">in a land of grain and new wine;p> <p class="poetry">indeed, its heavens<n id="2" /> rain down dew.<n id="3" />p>

Get up now,<n id="1" /> resume your journey, heading for<n id="2" /> the Amorite hill country, to all its areas<n id="3" /> including the arid country,<n id="4" /> the highlands, the Shephelah,<n id="5" /> the Negev,<n id="6" /> and the coastal plain &#8211; all of Canaan and Lebanon as far as the Great River, that is, the Euphrates.

The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.<n id="1" /> (All the region of Argob,<n id="2" /> that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim.

Pay attention, Israel, and be careful to do this so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in number<n id="1" /> &#8211; as the <sc>Lordsc>, God of your ancestors,<n id="2" /> said to you, you will have a land flowing with milk and honey.p>
