in all their manufactures, occupations, and trades, in which they were employed, and in the culture of their vines, olives, and other fruit trees: and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee;
with health and long life in it, and with an abundance of all good things, it being a land flowing with milk and honey.
