“If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;”
If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands. The conditional structure of the blessings section: if you follow my decrees and obey my commands. The covenant blessings are not unconditional promises but conditional provisions: the God who promises blessing does so within the covenant structure of faithfulness and obedience. Deuteronomy 28 develops the same structure with greater detail. The blessings of Leviticus 26 are the covenant promises that undergird the entire Levitical system.
