Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 11:10–11

¹⁰For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden. ¹¹But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven.
