La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Car ce n'est pas une parole vaine pour vous, mais c'est votre vie; et par cette parole vous prolongerez vos jours sur la terre que vous allez posséder en passant le Jourdain.
Darby's French Translation
Car ce n'est pas ici une parole vaine pour vous, mais c'est votre vie; et par cette parole vous prolongerez vos jours sur la terre où, en passant le Jourdain, vous entrez afin de la posséder.
Louis Segond (1910)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For it [is] not a vain thing for you,.... That is, the law is not, and the observance of it in them and their children; it was no light and trifling matter, but of great importance and consequence, obedience to it being attended with rewards, and disobedience with punishment:

because it [is] your life: if obeyed, the means of a comfortable and happy life, in the enjoyment of all good things, of the preservation and continuance of it to a length of time; and long life was always reckoned a great temporal mercy:

and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land whither you go over Jordan to possess it; that is, through their obedience to the law they should live long in the land of Canaan, which they were just going to possess; which explains what is meant by its being their life; their comfortable living and continuance in the land depended on their obedience to the law; see Isaiah 1:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These verses were, no doubt, added by the author of the supplement to Deuteronomy. For the statements contained in them, consult the marginal references.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 32:47. Through this thing ye shall prolong your days — Instead of being cut off, as God here threatens, ye shall be preserved and rendered prosperous in the land which, when they passed over Jordan, they should possess.
