9 And that ye may ^aprolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your ^bfathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

  55 And now, they said: We know of a surety that the Lord is ^awith thee, for we know that it is the power of the Lord that has shaken us. And they fell down before me, and were about to ^bworship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother; wherefore, worship the Lord thy God, and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy ^cdays may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

  24 For behold, they are more righteous than you, for they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received; therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them; yea, he will ^alengthen out their days and increase their seed, even when thou shalt be utterly ^bdestroyed except thou shalt repent.

  33 And there are many that lie in wait to ^adestroy thee from off the face of the earth; and for this cause, that thy days may be ^bprolonged, I have given unto thee these commandments.
