Deuteronomy 30:16

Context
30:16 What 1  I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess. 2 

Deuteronomy 30:20

Context
30:20 I also call on you 3  to love the Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually 4  in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

1 tc A number of LXX mss insert before this verse, “if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God,” thus translating אֲשֶׁר (’asher) as “which” and the rest as “I am commanding you today, to love,” etc., “then you will live,” etc.

2 tn Heb “which you are going there to possess it.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn The words “I also call on you” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 19-20 are one long sentence, which the translation divides into two.

4 tn Heb “he is your life and the length of your days to live.”
