“The Lesson About Food”
“The Lesson About Wealth”
“The Lesson About Not Forgetting G-d’s Commandments, His Ordinances, and His Decrees”

The entire commandment that I command you today you shall observe to perform, so that you may live and increase, and come and possess the Land that Hashem swore to your forefathers.
8:1
You shall remember the entire road on which Hashem, your God, led you these forty years in the wilderness so as to afflict you, to test you, to know what is in your heart, whether you would observe His commandments or not.
8:2
… not by bread alone does man live, rather by everything that emanates from the mouth of God does man live.
8:3
Your garment did not wear out upon you and your feet did not swell, these forty years.
:4
You should know in your heart that just as a father will chastise his son, so Hashem, your God, chastises you.
:5
You shall observe the commandments of Hashem, your God, to go in His ways and fear Him.
:6
a Land of wheat, barley, grape, fig, and pomegranate; a Land of oil-olives and date-honey,
:8
You will eat and you will be satisfied, and bless Hashem, your God, for the good Land that He gave you.
:10
Take care lest you forget Hashem, your God, by not observing His commandments, His ordinances, and His decrees, which I command you today.
:11
Who feeds you manna in the Wilderness, which your forefathers knew not, in order to afflict you and in order to test you, to do good for you in your end.
:16
And you may say in your heart, “My strength and the might of my hand made me all this wealth!”
:17
Then you shall remember Hashem, your God: that it is He Who gives you strength to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant that He swore to your forefathers, as this day.
:18
It shall be that you forget Hashem, your God, and go after the gods of others, and worship them and prostrate yourself to them – I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
:19
like the nations that Hashem causes to perish before you, so will you perish because you will not have hearkened to the voice of Hashem, your God.
:20

1 Every commandment that I command you this day you shall keep to do, that you may live and multiply, and come and possess the land that the Lord swore to your forefathers.
2 And you shall remember the entire way on which the Lord, your God, led you these forty years in the desert, in order to afflict you to test you, to know what is in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
3 And He afflicted you and let you go hungry, and then fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your forefathers know, so that He would make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but rather by, whatever comes forth from the mouth of the Lord does man live.
4 Your clothing did not wear out upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.
5 You shall know in your heart, that just as a man chastises his son, so does the Lord, your God, chastise you.
6 And you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to go in His ways, and to fear Him.
7 For the Lord your God is bringing you to a good land, a land with brooks of water, fountains and depths, that emerge in valleys and mountains,
8 a land of wheat and barley, vines and figs and pomegranates, a land of oil producing olives and honey,
9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, you will lack nothing in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains you will hew copper.
10 And you will eat and be sated, and you shall bless the Lord, your God, for the good land He has given you.
11 Beware that you do not forget the Lord, your God, by not keeping His commandments, His ordinances, and His statutes, which I command you this day,
12 lest you eat and be sated, and build good houses and dwell therein,
13 and your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold increase, and all that you have increases,
14 and your heart grows haughty, and you forget the Lord, your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
15 Who led you through that great and awesome desert, [in which were] snakes, vipers and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought water for you out of solid rock,
16 Who fed you with manna in the desert, which your forefathers did not know, in order to afflict you and in order to test you, to benefit you in your end,
17 and you will say to yourself, “My strength and the might of my hand that has accumulated this wealth for me.”
18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He that gives you strength to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your forefathers, as it is this day.
19 And it will be, if you forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, and worship them, and prostrate yourself before them, I bear witness against you this day, that you will surely perish.
20 As the nations that the Lord destroys before you, so will you perish; since you will not obey the Lord your God.
