be careful
The Hebrew root for "be careful" is "שָׁמַר" (shamar), which means to guard, keep, or observe. This word conveys a sense of vigilance and attentiveness. In the context of Deuteronomy, it emphasizes the importance of being diligent and intentional in one's obedience to God's commands. Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where careful observance of the law was a sign of faithfulness and devotion.

to follow
The phrase "to follow" comes from the Hebrew "עָשָׂה" (asah), meaning to do, make, or accomplish. This implies active participation and commitment. In the biblical context, following God's statutes is not a passive act but requires deliberate action and dedication. It underscores the idea that faith is demonstrated through works, aligning with the broader biblical narrative that true belief is evidenced by obedience.

all the statutes and ordinances
The terms "statutes" (חֻקִּים, chukkim) and "ordinances" (מִשְׁפָּטִים, mishpatim) refer to different aspects of the law. "Statutes" often denote decrees or commands that may not have an obvious rationale but are to be followed out of trust in God's wisdom. "Ordinances" are judgments or decisions that often relate to justice and social order. Together, they encompass the comprehensive nature of God's law, covering both religious and civil life. This reflects the holistic approach of the Torah, where every aspect of life is under God's authority.

that I am setting before you today
The phrase "that I am setting before you today" highlights the immediacy and relevance of God's commands. The use of "today" (הַיּוֹם, hayom) emphasizes the present moment, urging the Israelites to recognize the urgency and importance of their commitment. Historically, this was a pivotal moment as the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, and their success depended on their adherence to God's law. It serves as a reminder that God's word is always timely and applicable, calling for a response in the present.
