Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVer 1. - These are the statutes and judgments (cf. Deuteronomy 4:1; Deuteronomy 6:1).

These they were to observe all the days of their life upon the land that was to be given them; the land was the Lord's, and there, as long as they possessed it, the Law of the Lord was to be paramount.
