3. His signs and the works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land;
4. what He did to Egypt’s army, its horses and chariots, when He made the waters of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued you, and He destroyed them completely;
5. what He did to you in the wilderness until you reached this place;
6. and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when in the middle of the whole Israelite camp the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing with them.
7. Your own eyes have seen every great work the Lord has done.
8. “Keep every command I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to cross into and possess the land you are to inherit,
9. and so that you may live long in the land the Lord swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10. For the land you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated by hand as in a vegetable garden.
11. But the land you are entering to possess is a land of mountains and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.
12. It is a land the Lord your God cares for. He is always watching over it from the beginning to the end of the year.
