Deuteronomy 30:17-19
30:17 However, if you 1 turn aside and do not obey, but are lured away to worship and serve other gods,
30:18 I declare to you this very day that you will certainly 2 perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess. 3
30:19 Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live!
1 tn Heb “your heart,” as a metonymy for the person.
2 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “certainly.”
3 tn Heb “to go there to possess it.”
