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 that you will soon cross the Jordan River to take is a land of hills and valleys, a land that drinks rain from heaven.
12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for. His eyes are on it continually, and he watches it from the beginning of the year to the end.
13 If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today and love the Lord your God and serve him with your whole being,
14 then he will send rain on your land at the right time, in the fall and spring, and you will be able to gather your grain, new wine, and oil.
15 He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat.
