# obey his voice
Here "voice" refers to what Yahweh says. AT: "obey what he says" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# to cling to him
"to rely on him"
# For he is your life and the length of your days
These phrases have the same meaning and are metonyms for Yahweh, emphasizing that he is the one who gives life and determines the length of people's lifetimes. AT: "Yahweh is the only one who can enable you to live a long life" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# swore to your ancestors
The ellipsis can be filled in. AT: "swore that he would give to your ancestors" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
