“These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.”
These are the decrees and laws you must carefully follow in the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you to possess — while you live in it — the transition to the specific laws of settlement begins here. The laws are inseparable from possession of the land: they define the covenant community's practice within its inheritance.
