SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:1
¶ Estos son los estatutos y derechos que guardaréis para hacer en la tierra que el SEÑOR el Dios de tus padres te ha dado para que la heredes, todos los días que vosotros viviereis sobre la tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. These are the statutes and judgments which ye shall observe to do , etc.] Which are recorded in this and the following chapters; here a new discourse begins, and which perhaps was delivered at another time, and respects things that were to be observed: in the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it ; the land of Canaan, often described by this circumlocution, to put them in mind that it was promised to their fathers by their covenant God, was his gift to them, and which they would quickly be in the possession of; and therefore when in it should be careful to observe the statutes and judgments of God constantly: [even] all the days that ye live upon the earth ; or land, the land of Canaan; for though there were some laws binding upon them, live where they would, there were others peculiar to the land of Canaan, which they were to observe as long as they and their posterity lived there; (see 1 Kings 8:40).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - Moses comes to the statutes he had to give in charge to Israel; an begins with such as relate to the worship of God. The Israelites ar charged not to bring the rites and usages of idolaters into the worshi of God; not under colour of making it better. We cannot serve God an mammon; nor worship the true God and idols; nor depend upon Chris Jesus and upon superstitious or self-righteous confidences.
