provided that your descendants watch their step ▼▼tn Heb “watch their way.” The Hebrew and English colloquialisms are similar. The related ideas “way” and “steps” represent behavior in a broad sense in each language.
and serve me as you have done.’ ▼▼tn Heb “guard their way by walking before me as you have walked before me.”
