"and obey"
set you above
Moses speaks of being important or being great as if it were being physically higher, as on a higher hill. AT: "make you more important than" or "make you greater than" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
All these blessings will come on you and overtake you
Moses describes the blessings as a person who would attack them by surprise or chase and catch them. AT: "Yahweh will bless you like this in ways that will completely surprise you, and it will be as if you cannot escape having him bless you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
