| Now . . . in the sight of all Israel, . . . keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord, &c.--This solemn and earnest exhortation to those present, and to all Israel through their representatives, to continue faithful in observing the divine law as essential to their national prosperity and permanence, is similar to that of Moses (Deu 30:15-20). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Of our God - I exhort and charge you every one, calling God who is here present, and this congregation wherein all Israel are present by their representatives, or witness against you, if you do not follow my counsel. Keep and seek - Keep those commands which you know, and seek for, or search into what you are yet ignorant of, that you may distinctly understand the whole will of God, and seriously give yourselves to the practice of it. God's commandments cannot be kept without great care. |

15 See [07200], I have set [05414] before [06440] thee this day [03117] life [02416] and good [02896], and death [04194] and evil [07451];
16 In that I command [06680] thee this day [03117] to love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] and his judgments [04941], that thou mayest live [02421] and multiply [07235]: and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bless [01288] thee in the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it.
17 But if thine heart [03824] turn away [06437], so that thou wilt not hear [08085], but shalt be drawn away [05080], and worship [07812] other [0312] gods [0430], and serve [05647] them;
18 I denounce [05046] unto you this day [03117], that ye shall surely [06] perish [06], and that ye shall not prolong [0748] your days [03117] upon the land [0127], whither thou passest over [05674] Jordan [03383] to go [0935] to possess [03423] it.
19 I call [05749] heaven [08064] and earth [0776] to record [05749] this day [03117] against you, that I have set [05414] before [06440] you life [02416] and death [04194], blessing [01293] and cursing [07045]: therefore choose [0977] life [02416], that both thou and thy seed [02233] may live [02421]:
20 That thou mayest love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and that thou mayest obey [08085] his voice [06963], and that thou mayest cleave [01692] unto him: for he is thy life [02416], and the length [0753] of thy days [03117]: that thou mayest dwell [03427] in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290], to give [05414] them.
