That it may be well with thee (ina eu soi genhtai). From Exodus 20:12, "that it may happen to thee well."
And thou mayest live long on the earth (kai esh makroxroniov epi thv ghv). Here esh (second person singular future middle) takes the place of genh in the LXX (second person singular second aorist middle subjunctive). Makroxroniov is a late and rare compound adjective, here only in N.T. (from LXX, Exodus 20:12).
