The emphasis is on the importance of adhering to God's statutes and ordinances to ensure their well-being in the land they are about to inhabit.

The Key Word — שָׁמַר, u.she.mar.Temgenerated
The verb שָׁמַר (*shamar*) means to keep, guard, or observe. It is a foundational term in the Hebrew Bible, indicating the act of protecting or attending to something with care. In this verse, it emphasizes the necessity of adhering to God's laws to maintain a right relationship with Him.
The parsing as a sequential perfect second person masculine plural indicates that this command is directed at the collective group of Israelite men, underscoring their responsibility to uphold these statutes together.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is שְׁמַרְתֶּם, you will keep, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by two noun phrases: כָּל־חֻקֹּתַי and כָּל־מִשְׁפָּטַי, which specify what is to be kept.
The structure emphasizes the imperative nature of the command, with the consequences of disobedience clearly articulated in the latter part of the verse.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁמַר as φυλάχασθε, meaning 'to guard' or 'to keep.' This choice reflects a similar emphasis on the protective nature of the command.
For תָקִ֤יא, the Septuagint uses προσοξθίσῃ, which indicates a strong reaction from the land, reinforcing the seriousness of the command.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Leviticus 20:22 instructs the Israelites to keep all of God's laws and regulations so that the land will not reject them. This highlights the importance of obedience to God's commands as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To keep God's statutes means to obey and guard His laws, ensuring that the Israelites live according to His will.
Obedience is crucial because it determines their acceptance in the land God is giving them, ensuring they are not rejected.
If they do not obey, the land will 'vomit' them out, indicating severe consequences for disobedience.
While the specific laws may differ, the principle of obedience to God's commands remains relevant for living a life pleasing to Him.

That the land . . . spue you not out.—Better, lest the land . . . vomit you out, as in Leviticus 18:28. For this figure of speech see Leviticus 20:25 of the same chapter.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree closely, with only one word differing: the Samaritan uses חקותי instead of חֻקֹּתַי. The Dead Sea Scrolls show partial restoration, with significant agreement on the core message.
וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם אֶת־ כָּל־ חֻקֹּתַי֙ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם אֹתָ֑ם וְלֹא־ תָקִ֤יא אֶתְכֶם֙ הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנִ֜י מֵבִ֥יא אֶתְכֶ֛ם שָׁ֖מָּה לָשֶׁ֥בֶת בָּֽהּ׃

dwel:
(1) In the Old Testament "dwell" is a translation of 9 words, of which by far the most frequent is yashabh, "to sit down," translated "dwell" over 400 times (Ge 4:20; Jos 20:4; 1Ch 17:1,4,5, etc.); also very frequently "sit," and sometimes "abide," "inhabit," "remain." Another word often rendered "dwell" is shakhan or shakhen ("to settle down"), from which is derived the rabbinic word shekhinah (literally, "that which dwells"), the light on the mercy-seat which symbolized the Divine presence (Ex 25:8, etc.). In order to avoid appearing to localize the Divine Being, wherever God is said to "dwell" in a place, the Targum renders that He "causes His Shekinah to dwell"…
