SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:47
Porque no os es cosa vana, mas es vuestra vida; y por este negocio haréis prolongar los días sobre la tierra, para heredar la cual pasáis el Jordán.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:47
Verse 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 47. For it [is] not a vain thing for you , etc.] 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 1:19,20).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 44-47 - Here is the solemn delivery of this song to Israel, with a charge to mind all the good words Moses had said unto them. It is not a trifle but a matter of life and death: mind it, and you are made for ever neglect it, and you are for ever undone. Oh that men were full persuaded that religion is their life, even the life of their souls!
