31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he has done for you.
> Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, Who walks in his ways.
But there is forgiveness with you, Therefore you are feared.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
