5
Nor was it your children who saw how God took care of you in the wilderness up until the time you arrived here,
6
what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the Earth opened its jaws and swallowed them with their families - their tents, and everything around them - right out of the middle of Israel.
7
Yes, it was you - your eyes - that saw every great thing that God did.
8
So it's you who are in charge of keeping the entire commandment that I command you today so that you'll have the strength to invade and possess the land that you are crossing the river to make your own.
9
Your obedience will give you a long life on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors and their children, a land flowing with milk and honey.
