DEUTERONOMY 11:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:”
The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden — the contrast with Egypt emphasizes Israel's liberation from slave labor. Egyptian agriculture required constant human irrigation (foot-treadle systems); the promised land offers different conditions.
