It is a land where iron is as common as stone, and copper is abundant in the hills.

“Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors.

For all these forty years your clothes didn’t wear out, and your feet didn’t blister or swell.
