Canaan: Land of Fertility of Deuteronomy 8:7–9

For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills; / a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey; / a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.

Canaan: Land of Fertility of Deuteronomy 11:10–13

For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden. / But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven. / It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year.
