⁴⁶ he said to them, “^(A)Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you will command ^(B)your sons to ^[a]follow carefully, all the words of this Law. ⁴⁷ For it is not a ^[b]trivial matter for you; indeed ^(C)it is your life. And ^(D)by this word you will prolong your days in the land, ^[c]which you are about to cross the Jordan to ^[d]possess.”
