Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.
Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee. That it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee: and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
Who may judge the people at all times. And when any great matter soever shall fall out, let them refer it to thee, and let them judge the lesser matters only: that so it may be lighter for thee, the burden being shared out unto others.
