Ulangan 6:2

6:2 and that you may so revere the Lord your God that you will keep all his statutes and commandments ¹  that I am giving ²  you – you, your children, and your grandchildren – all your lives, to prolong your days.

Ulangan 6:24

6:24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these statutes and to revere him ³  so that it may always go well for us and he may preserve us, as he has to this day.

[6:2]  ¹ tn Here the terms are not the usual חֻקִּים (khuqqim) and מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishpatim; as in v. 1) but חֻקֹּת (khuqqot, “statutes”) and מִצְוֹת (mitsot, “commandments”). It is clear that these terms are used interchangeably and that their technical precision ought not be overly stressed.

[6:2]  ² tn Heb “commanding.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation.

[6:24]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord our God.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.
