“That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.”
That you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged -- the fear of the LORD is the goal; keeping commandments is its expression. The phrase 'you, and your son, and your son's son' emphasizes transgenerational obligation. The consequence is longevity.
