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 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose:

27 and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you shall eat the flesh.

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.

29 When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;

30 take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
