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.

29 When the Lorde thy God hath destroyed the nacions before the, whother thou goest to conquere them, and when thou hast conquered them, and dwelt in their landes:
30 Bewarre that thou be not taken in a snare after the, after that they be destroyed before the, and that thou axenot after their goddes saynge: how dyd these nacyons serue their goddes, that I maye doo so likewyse?
