But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did; ] Even all before related, with many others; and therefore the instruction they should learn from thence should be as follows.
5
what the Lord did for you in the desert, until you arrived at this place;
6
and what he did to Dothan and Abiram, the descendants of Eliab the Reubenite, when the ground opened up its mouth and swallowed them, their families, their tents, and every living thing they possessed in the presence of all Israel.
7
Your own eyes witnessed each of these powerful acts the LORD performed.
8
So keep every part of the commandment that I am giving you today so that you stay strong to enter and take possession of the land that you are crossing over to possess,
9
and so that you might prolong your life on the fertile land that the LORD swore to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants—a land full of milk and honey.
