Ulangan 30:20

30:20 I also call on you ¹  to love the Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually ²  in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Amsal 4:13

4:13 Hold on to instruction, ³  do not let it go;

protect it, ⁴  because it is your life.

¹ tn The words “I also call on you” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 19-20 are one long sentence, which the translation divides into two.

² tn Heb “he is your life and the length of your days to live.”

³ tn Heb “discipline.”

⁴ tn The form נִצְּרֶהָ (nitsÿreha, from נָצַר, natsar) has an anomalous doubled letter (see GKC 73 §20.h).
