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 but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven,

12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.

13 'And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.'
