Then both you and your children will live a long time in the land that the Lord promised to give to your ancestors. [69] You will live there as long as the skies are above the earth.
“Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice. You can choose life or death. The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse. So choose life! Then you and your children will live.
You and your descendants [34] must respect the Lord your God as long as you live. You must obey all his laws and commands that I give you. If you do this, then you will have a long life in that new land.
