In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 30 of Deuteronomy. The commandment is not presented as something inaccessible or impossible to know: the word is near the people. Moses places before Israel life and death, blessing and curse, and calls them to choose life through love and obedience. The exhortation summarizes human responsibility within the covenant without presenting faithfulness as secret knowledge reserved for a few.
