Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֞ & מְצַוְּךָ֙ & לְךָ֔ וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ & תַּאֲרִ֤יךְ & אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ & לְךָ֖
and,keep & giving,you & to/for=yourself(m) and,with,children,your after,you & you_may_live_long & God,your & to/for=yourself(m)
Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֞
and,keep
Here the word keep means “obey.” Moses is speaking of commandments as if they were physical objects that one could keep in one's possession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And you shall obey”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
חֻקָּ֣יו וְאֶת־מִצְוֺתָ֗יו
statutes,his and=DOM commandments,his
The terms statutes and commandments mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “his important statutes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ
and,with,children,your
Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and for your offspring”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תַּאֲרִ֤יךְ יָמִים֙ עַל־הַ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה
you_may_live_long days on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,land
The implication is that if the Israelites obey Yahweh, they will prolong the days in which they live in the land. Moses is speaking of time as if it were something over which man could exercise control, to prolong it. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. See how you translated this concept in verse 26. Alternate translation: “you may live in the land for many generations”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים
all/each/any/every the=days
Here, all the days is an idiom that means “forever.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “until the end of time” or “always”
