So it's paramount that you keep the commandments of God , your God, walk down the roads he shows you and reverently respect him. God is about to bring you into a good land, a land with brooks and rivers, springs and lakes, streams out of the hills and through the valleys. It's a land of wheat and barley, of vines and figs and pomegranates, of olives, oil, and honey. It's land where you'll never go hungry—always food on the table and a roof over your head. It's a land where you'll get iron out of rocks and mine copper from the hills.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

Contextual Overview

1 All the commandment which I am commanding thee to-day, shalt thou, observe, to do, - that ye may, live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land, which Yahweh sware unto your fathers. 2 So then, thou shalt remember all the way in which Yahweh thy God caused thee to journey these forty years in the desert, - that he might humble time to put thee to the proof to know what was in thy heart, - whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not. 3 So he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna which thou hadst not known, neither had thy fathers' known, - that he might lead thee to consider that not on bread alone, shall the son of earth live, but on whatsoever cometh from the bidding of Yahweh, shall the son of earth live. 4 Thy mantle, hath not fallen with age from off thee, and, thy foot, hath not become swollen, - these forty years. 5 Thou must consider, then with thy heart, - that as a man chasteneth his son, Yahweh thy God, hath been chastening thee. 6 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, - to walk in his ways and to revere him. 7 For, Yahweh thy God, is bringing thee into a good land; a land of ravines of water, of fountains and depths, coming forth in valley, and in mountain: 8 a land of wheat and barley, and vine and fig-tree, and pomegranate, - a land of olive oil, and honey: 9 a land wherein not in scarcity, shalt thou eat food, thou shalt lack nothing therein, - a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest hew copper.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God,.... Not only because they are the commands of God, and of a covenant God and Father, which are reasons sufficient for the observance of them; but because the Lord had dealt so bountifully with them, in providing food and raiment for them in the wilderness, which always continued with them; and because, when he afflicted them, it was a fatherly chastisement, with great tenderness and compassion, and for their good; all which laid them under obligations to keep the commands of God, whatsoever he had enjoined them, whether of the moral, ceremonial, or judicial kind:

to walk in his ways, and to fear him; to walk in the ways he directed, to be under an awe of his majesty, a fear of offending him, and a reverential affection for him, such as children have to a father.
