Deuteronomy 9:23

9:23 And when he sent you from Kadesh-Barnea and told you, “Go up and possess the land I have given you,” you rebelled against the Lord your God and would neither believe nor obey him.

Deuteronomy 30:20

30:20 I also call on you 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 in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”


tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God,” that is, against the commandment that he had spoken.

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.

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