Then you will live, and your population will increase. You will enter and take possession of the land that the LORD promised to your ancestors with an oath. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Remember that for 40 years the LORD your God led you on your journey in the desert. He did this in order to humble you and test you. He wanted to know whether or not you would wholeheartedly obey his commands. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So he made you suffer from hunger and then fed you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had seen before. He did this to teach you that a person cannot live on bread alone but on every word that the LORD speaks. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Your clothes didn't wear out, and your feet didn't swell these past 40 years. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Learn this lesson by heart: The LORD your God was disciplining you as parents discipline their children. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Obey the commands of the LORD your God. Follow his directions, and fear him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>The LORD your God is bringing you into a good land. It is a land with rivers that don't dry up. There are springs and underground streams flowing through the valleys and hills. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>The land has wheat and barley, grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates. The land has honey and olive trees for olive oil. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>The land will have enough food for you, and you will have everything you need. The land has rocks with iron ore, and you will be able to mine copper ore in the hills. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>When you have eaten all you want, thank the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Be careful that you don't forget the LORD your God.

You will build nice houses and live in them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Your herds and flocks, silver and gold, and everything else you have will increase. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>When this happens, be careful that you don't become arrogant and forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>He was the one who led you through that vast and dangerous desert-a thirsty and arid land, with poisonous snakes and scorpions.

But he also did this so that things would go well for you in the end. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>You may say to yourselves, "I became wealthy because of my own ability and strength." <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/8-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>But remember the LORD your God is the one who makes you wealthy. He's confirming the promise which he swore to your ancestors.
