Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
I will not make Israel wander away from the land I gave to their ancestors ever again, as long as they carefully obey everything I have commanded them and follow all the laws that my servant Moses gave them.
God is promising that Israel can stay in their homeland permanently if they obey His commands and follow the laws He gave through Moses.
