3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may amultiply greatly bas the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—c‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’

What Does Deuteronomy 6:2 Mean?
Deuteronomy 6:2
Obeying the fifth commandment automatically builds habits and character that promote long life (Proverbs 4:10-11). A child trained in biblical principles and God's way of life will avoid recklessness, violence, immorality, and rebellion against authority that often result in premature death.
