Deuteronomy 11:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:22

For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which
I command you to do them
Observe and take notice of them, even all of them, and so as not merely to have a theory or notional knowledge of them, but to put them in practice:

to love the Lord your God;
and show it by obeying his commands, and which is the end of the commandment, and the principle from which all obedience should flow:

to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
see ( Deuteronomy 10:12 Deuteronomy 10:20 ) .

Deuteronomy 11:22 In-Context

20 Thou shalt write those words upon the (door-)posts, and the gates of thine house(s),
21 that the days of thee and of thy sons be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he should give to them, as long as heaven is above (the) earth. (so that the days of thee and of thy sons, can be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers to give them, for as long as the heavens be above the earth.)
22 For if ye keep the behests which I command to you, and do those (For if ye obey all these commandments which I command to you, and do them), that ye love your Lord God, and go in all his ways, and cleave to him,
23 the Lord shall destroy all these heathen men before your face, and ye shall wield those folks that be greater and stronger than ye.
24 Each place which your foot shall tread, shall be yours; from the desert, and from Lebanon, and from the great flood Euphrates unto the west sea, shall be your terms. (Every place where your feet shall tread, shall be yours; from the wilderness to the mountains of Lebanon, and from the great Euphrates River unto the Great Sea, or the Mediterranean Sea, shall be yours.)
