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 the holy things and the offerings you have vowed to bring, and go to the place the LORD will choose.
27 Sacrifice the meat and the blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
28 Be sure you obey all these instructions I'm giving you. Then things will always go well for you and your descendants because you will be doing what the LORD your God considers good and right.
29 The LORD your God will destroy the nations where you're going and force them out of your way. You will take possession of their land and live there.
30 After they've been destroyed, be careful you aren't tempted to follow their customs. Don't even ask about their gods and say, "How did these people worship their gods? We want to do what they did."
