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 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart -- to do it.

15 `See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,

16 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.

17 `And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,

18 I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.
