and that you may enjoy long life in the land the <sc>Lordsc> promised to give to your ancestors<n id="1" /> and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth<n id="1" /> today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.p>

Honor<n id="1" /> your father and your mother just as the <sc>Lordsc> your God has commanded you to do, so that your days may be extended and that it may go well with you in the land that he<n id="2" /> is about to give you.

and that you may so revere the <sc>Lordsc> your God that you will keep all his statutes and commandments<n id="1" /> that I am giving<n id="2" /> you &#8211; you, your children, and your grandchildren &#8211; all your lives, to prolong your days.

It is not because of your righteousness, or even your inner uprightness,<n id="1" /> that you have come here to possess their land. Instead, because of the wickedness of these nations the <sc>Lordsc> your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he<n id="2" /> made on oath to your ancestors,<n id="3" /> to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Gather the people &#8211; men, women, and children, as well as the resident foreigners in your villages &#8211; so they may hear and thus learn about and fear the <sc>Lordsc> your God and carefully obey all the words of this law.
