What does Deuteronomy 12:1 mean?
These are the statutes and judgments which ye shall observe
to
do
Which are recorded in this and the following chapters; here a new
discourse begins, and which perhaps was delivered at another
time, and respects things that were to be observed:
in the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee
to possess
it;
the land of Canaan, often described by this circumlocution, to
put them in mind that it was promised to their fathers by their
covenant God, was his gift to them, and which they would quickly
be in the possession of; and therefore when in it should be
careful to observe the statutes and judgments of God constantly:
[even] all the days that ye live upon the
earth;
or land, the land of Canaan; for though there were some laws
binding upon them, live where they would, there were others
peculiar to the land of Canaan, which they were to observe as
long as they and their posterity lived there; see ( 1 Kings 8:40
) .
