Contextual Overview

⁴⁴ Moses came with Joshua son of Nun, and they spoke all the words of this song for the people to hear. ⁴⁵ When Moses finished speaking these words to all Israel, ⁴⁶ he said to them: "Pay careful attention to all the words I have said to you today, and command your children to obey carefully everything in these teachings. ⁴⁷ These should not be unimportant words for you, but rather they mean life for you! By these words you will live a long time in the land you are crossing the Jordan River to take as your own." ⁴⁸ The Lord spoke to Moses again that same day and said, ⁴⁹ "Go up the Abarim Mountains, to Mount Nebo in the country of Moab, across from Jericho. Look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as their own. ⁵⁰ On that mountain that you climb, you will die and join your ancestors, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his ancestors. ⁵¹ You both sinned against me at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin, and you did not honor me as holy there among the Israelites. ⁵² So now you will only look at the land from far away. You will not enter the land I am giving the people of Israel."

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.
