“Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:”
The promise to ancestors: 'Then I said, "Obey me and do everything I command you, that it may go well with you."' This verse continues the covenant promise: obedience results in blessing ('that it may go well with you'). The use of 'Then I said' suggests historical narration of what God promised. Theologically, this verse emphasizes that the covenant's blessings are conditional on obedience.
