Deut. 30:15, 20, “See,” said Moses, “I have set before thee (the Jewish nation) this day, life and good, and death and evil; that thou mayest love the Lord thy God and obey His voice, for He is thy life.” Spiritual and eternal matters are not here contemplated. They are reminded that their national welfare and happiness would be perpetuated by God if they chose life, that “both they and their seed might live” (Deut 30:19). Living here evidently means the perpetuation of their national existence and blessing.
