An angel is promised, with a blessing, if they obey him So you shall serve the LORD your God The Hebrew word for "serve" here is "עָבַד" (avad), which implies worship, labor, and devotion.

Historically, this command was given to the Israelites as they were forming their identity as a nation under God’s law, highlighting the importance of loyalty and dedication to Yahweh. and He will bless your bread and your water and I will take away sickness from among you Take sickness away.--Half the sicknesses from which men suffer are directly caused by sin, and would disappear if men led godly, righteous, and sober lives. Others, as plague and pestilence, are scourges sent by God to punish those who have offended Him. If Israel had walked in God's ways, He would have preserved them from sicknesses of all kinds by a miraculous interposition. (Comp. Deuteronomy 7:15.) Verse 25. - He shall bless thy bread and thy water. If the Israelites were exact in their obedience, and destroyed the idols, and served God only, then he promised to bless "their bread and their water" - the food, i.e., whether meat or drink, on which they subsisted, and to give them vigorous health, free from sickness of any kind, which he pledged himself to take away from the midst of them. Though Christians have no such special pledge, there is, no doubt, that virtuous and godly living would greatly conduce to health, and take away half the sicknesses from which men suffer, even at the present day.Parallel Commentaries ...
