Deuteronomy 11

Moses reminds Israel of YHWH's past miracles and commands them to obey His commandments to possess the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey.[1][4] He warns that if they turn to serve other gods, YHWH will withhold rain and they will perish from the land, but obedience will bring blessings including rain, grain, wine, oil, and grass for livestock.[1][4]
