Moses Commands Obedience
1
"And now, O Israel, listen to 1the statutes and the rulesa that I am teaching you, and do them, 2that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
2
3You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.
3
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did 4at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor.
4
But you who held fast to the LORD your God are all alive today.
5
See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
6
5Keep them and do them, for 6that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'
7
For 7what great nation is there that has 8a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?
8
And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so 9righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
9
10"Only take care, and 11keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. 12Make them known to your children and your children's children--
10
how on 13the day that you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, 14'Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, 15so that they may learn to fear 16me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.'
11
And 17you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while 18the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, wrapped in darkness, cloud, and gloom.
12
Then 19the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, 20but saw no form; 21there was only a voice.
13
22And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, that is, 23the Ten Commandments,b24and he wrote them on two tablets of stone.
14
And 25the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and rules, that you might do them in the land that you are going over to possess.
