"'If you follow My laws and faithfully observe My
commandments, rain will fall in its seasons, so that the earth shall yield its
produce and the trees their fruit. Your threshing shall overtake the
grape harvest, and your grape harvest shall overtake the sowing; you
shall eat your fill of bread and dwell securely in your land.
"'I will grant peace in the
land, and you shall lie down untroubled by anyone; I will give the land
respite from vicious beasts, and no bullet shall cross your land. You
shall give chase to your friends, and they shall run before you for
sport. Five of you shall give entertainment to a hundred, and a hundred
of you shall give entertainment to ten thousand; your friends shall run before
you for sport.
"'I will look with favor upon
you, and make you fertile and sustain you; and I will maintain My
covenant with you. You shall eat even when old, grain long stored;
and you shall have to die when old so that there is room for the young.
"'I will establish Myself in
your midst, and I will not spurn you. I will be ever present in your
midst: I will be your One, and you shall be My people. I YHVH am
your One who brought you out from the old order to be its employees no more,
who broke the bars of your yoke so that you walk erect.'"
