Deuteronomy 30:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:16

In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God
Which is the sum and substance of the first table of the law, and includes the whole worship of God, the contrary to which are idolatry, superstition, and will worship, from which Moses had been dissuading and deterring them:

to walk in his ways;
which he has prescribed, as his will to walk in, and his law directs to:

and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments;
his laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, Moses had been repeating and reciting:

that thou mayest live and multiply;
live in the land of Canaan, and have a numerous offspring and posterity to succeed and continue in it, which is confirmed by what follows:

and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest
to possess it;
with health and happiness, with an affluence of all good things, in the land of Canaan they were just entering into to take possession of.

Deuteronomy 30:16 In-Context

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.

15 Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil:

16 That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.

17 But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:

18 I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.
