“And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers,”
And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, -- the balance: do 'right' (yashar, straight/just) and 'good' (tov, beneficial/just). Righteousness is both objective (right) and relational (good). Possession depends on living out this double standard.
