DEUTERONOMY 30:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
By loving the LORD your God, by obeying his voice, and by holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — love and obedience ('ahavat YHVH... v'shamoa b'kolo... v'davak bo') result in life ('ki hu chayekha'). The patriarchal oath is the covenant's foundation; fulfillment depends on the people's choice.
