Deuteronomy 6:17 – A Charge to Israel

In this passage, Moses charges the Israelites to carefully obey all of God’s commands. He explains that keeping God’s laws is not only right in God’s eyes but also brings many blessings. Moses also teaches that parents must explain the meaning of God’s laws to their children, so each new generation can understand and follow God. He reminds the people that God’s rules are for their good and are connected to His past and future kindness to them.

v. 17-19: Moses tells the people to be diligent in keeping God’s commandments, statutes, and testimonies. Obeying God is pleasing to Him and will bring good things, like victory over their enemies and a secure place in the land of Canaan. Those who do right in God’s sight will be blessed (Deuteronomy 6:17-19 a).
