Deuteronomy 11:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 The land you are to enter and possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you would sow your seed and then water it by hand,[a] as in a vegetable garden. 11 (A)No, the land into which you are crossing to take possession is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in rain from the heavens, 12 a land which the Lord, your God, looks after; the eyes of the Lord, your God, are upon it continually through the year, from beginning to end.

13 (A)He had them mount the summits of the land,[a]
fed them the produce of its fields;
He suckled them with honey from the crags
and olive oil from the flinty rock;

with the best of lambs;
Bashan[b] bulls and goats,
with the cream of finest wheat;
and the foaming blood of grapes you drank.

In a land of grain and wine,
where the heavens drip with dew.(A)
