and to their fathers; see ( Deuteronomy 7:12 Deuteronomy 7:13 ) ; if thou shall keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in
his ways;
by which tenure they held the land of Canaan, and their settlement and continuance in it, and enjoyment of all the good things thereof; see ( Isaiah 1:19 Isaiah 1:20 ) .
