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.

11 But the land you are about to cross the river and take for your own is a land of mountains and valleys; it drinks water that rains from the sky.

13 From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you,

14 he'll take charge of sending the rain at the right time, both autumn and spring rains, so that you'll be able to harvest your grain, your grapes, your olives.

15 He'll make sure there's plenty of grass for your animals. You'll have plenty to eat.
