“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”
Know therefore that the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments unto a thousand generations; -- the characteristic of Israel's God: faithful (ne'eman), covenant-keeping (notser brit), merciful (chessed). Fidelity extends to 'a thousand generations'--vast futurity. Love and obedience activate covenant-keeping.
