Deuteronomy 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:13

And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently
unto my commandments which I command you this day
In the name, and by the authority of the Lord, the only lawgiver:

to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and
with all your soul;
see ( Deuteronomy 10:12 ) . Jarchi interprets this of prayer; but it is not to be restrained to that only, but includes the whole service of God, in all the parts of it, performed from a principle of love to him, and in sincerity and truth.

Deuteronomy 11:13 In-Context

11 The land you're about to enter is a land with hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.
12 It is a land the LORD your God cares about. He watches over it all year long.
13 If you faithfully obey the commands that I'm giving you today, love the LORD your God, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 I will send rain on your land at the right time, both in the fall and in the spring. Then you will gather your own grain, new wine, and olive oil.
15 I will provide grass in the fields for your animals, and you will be able to eat all you want.
