Deuteronomy 30:8-9 -

Thou shalt return and obey ; i . e . thou shalt again hearken (see Deuteronomy 30:9 , where the same expression is thus rendered). These two verses are closely connected, the former expressing the condition on which the aspect expressed in the latter depends. They should be rendered accordingly, If thou shalt return … then the Lord thy God , etc. (comp. Genesis 42:38 ; Exodus 4:23 , where a similar construction occurs).
