The selection of life

Deu 30:15–20

30:15 The selection of life

15 Listen, I’ve placed the choice between life and good, and death and evil, in front of you today. 16 What I’m commanding you today is to love your god Yahweh, to walk in his ways and to follow his instructions and obey his rules and regulations, and then you’ll live and multiply, and your god Yahweh will bless you in the land that you’re about to take possession of. 17 But if your loyalty shifts away and you don’t listen but instead you’re drawn away and bow down to other gods and serve them, 18 then I’m warning you all today that you’ll all most certainly die, i.e., you won’t live for a long time in the land which you’re about to cross the Yarden (Jordan) river to take possession of. 19 I call on the heavens and the earth to witness against you today: I’ve placed in front of you the choice between life and death, and between blessings and the curses, so that you’ll be forced to choose life so that you and your descendants will live. 20 Decide today to love your god Yahweh, to listen to his voice, and to cling to him, because he’ll give you life and lengthen your lives so you can live in the land that Yahweh promised to give to your fathers, Avraham,[ref] Yitshak (Isaac),[ref] and Ya’akov (Jacob).[ref]

30:18 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
