16 [If you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God,]* which I am commanding you today, so as to love Jehovah your God,+ to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments+ and his statutes and his judicial decisions,+ then you will be bound to keep alive+ and to multiply, and Jehovah your God must bless you in the land to which you are going to take possession of it.+
