Who shall give them to have such a mind, to fear me, and to keep all my commandments at all times, that it may be well with them and with their children for ever?
מִֽי־יִתֵּ֡ן וְהָיָה֩ לְבָבָ֨ם זֶ֜ה לָהֶ֗ם לְיִרְאָ֥ה אֹתִ֛י וְלִשְׁמֹ֥ר אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֺתַ֖י כָּל־הַיָּמִ֑ים לְמַ֨עַן יִיטַ֥ב לָהֶ֛ם וְלִבְנֵיהֶ֖ם לְעֹלָֽם׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
Desiring to demonstrate His profound concern for our redemption, immediately upon hearing the Israelites vow to follow His righteous path after numerous transgressions, He expressed: “Oh, that they had such a heart to fear Me and to observe all My commandments continually, that it might be well with them and their descendants forever.”
