The Location

“For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land - a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills... vines and fig trees. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land He has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 8:7-10
