“And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.”
And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day; -- the statutes serve Israel's good and survival. Law is not oppressive but preservative. The statement 'as at this day' suggests that fidelity has kept Israel alive to this point.
