King James Bible
"And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,"
This command extends beyond mere law-keeping to encompass moral excellence as God defines it. The phrase emphasizes divine perspective over human judgment, calling Israel to align their actions with God's character and standards. This promise links obedience directly to personal flourishing and blessing. In the covenant framework, righteous living produces tangible benefits—not as mechanical cause-and-effect, but as the natural outcome of living within God's design. The inheritance of Canaan depended on covenant faithfulness, connecting present obedience to the fulfillment of promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This reminds Israel that their destiny is tied to both God's ancient oath and their current moral choices.
