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!
30:20 I also call on you 1 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 2 in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
1 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.
2 tnHeb “he is your life and the length of your days to live.”
