28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ⁴  Carefully observe ⁵  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

⁵ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”
