It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.
