Deuteronomy 12:28 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:28

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee
Respecting the demolition of all monuments of idolatry, and bringing all holy things to the place the Lord should choose to dwell in; and eating common flesh in their own houses, only to be careful not to eat blood:

that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for
ever;
for, as has been often observed, their continuance in the land of Canaan, and enjoyment of all good things in it, depended upon their obedience to the commands of God; see ( Isaiah 1:19 )

when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord
thy God;
which is to do all his commandments; for these are what are good and right in his sight, and it is for the good of men to do them.

Deuteronomy 12:28 In-Context

26 Take your holy things and the things you have promised to give, and go to the place the Lord will choose.
27 Present your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God, both the meat and the blood. The blood of your sacrifices should be poured beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
28 Be careful to obey all the rules I am giving you so that things will always go well for you and your children, and you will be doing what the Lord your God says is good and right.
29 You will enter the land and take it away from the nations that the Lord your God will destroy ahead of you. When you force them out and live in their land,
30 they will be destroyed for you, but be careful not to be trapped by asking about their gods. Don't say, "How do these nations worship? I will do the same."
