O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Verse 29 is found in chapter 5 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls that God spoke from the fire and that the people asked Moses to act as mediator because they feared dying before the divine manifestation. God approves the people’s willingness to listen and commands them to remain faithful to his commandments. Moses’ mediation thus takes on a central role in transmitting the divine word to Israel.

Ach daß sie ein solch Herz hätten, mich zu fürchten, und zu halten alle meine Gebote ihr Leben lang, auf daß es ihnen wohl ginge und ihren Kindern ewiglich!
¡Quién diera que tuviesen tal corazón, que me temiesen, y guardasen todos los días todos mis mandamientos, para que a ellos y a sus hijos les fuese bien para siempre!
Oh! s'ils avaient toujours ce même coeur pour me craindre et pour observer tous mes commandements, afin qu'ils fussent heureux à jamais, eux et leurs enfants!
Oh! avessero pur sempre un tal animo per temermi, e per osservar tutti i miei comandamenti, acciocchè fosse bene a loro, e a’ lor figliuoli, in perpetuo!
Quem dera que eles tivessem tal coração que me temessem, e guardassem todos os meus mandamentos todos os dias, para que bem lhes fosse a eles e a seus filhos para sempre.
惟願他們存這樣的心敬畏我,常遵守我一切的誡命,使他們和他們的子孫永遠得福。
