Contextual Overview

¹ Love the Lord your God and always obey his orders, rules, laws, and commands. ² Remember today it was not your children who saw and felt the correction of the Lord your God. They did not see his majesty, his power, his strength, ³ or his signs and the things he did in Egypt to the king and his whole country. ⁴ They did not see what he did to the Egyptian army, its horses and chariots, when he drowned them in the Red Sea as they were chasing you. The Lord ruined them forever. ⁵ They did not see what he did for you in the desert until you arrived here. ⁶ They did not see what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the ground opened up and swallowed them, their families, their tents, and everyone who stood with them in Israel. ⁷ It was you who saw all these great things the Lord has done.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God,.... Because he is so great and glorious in himself, and because he had done such great and good things for them, the Israelites, particularly in the multiplication of them, the last thing mentioned:

and keep his charge; whatsoever the Lord had charged them to observe, even what follow:

and his statutes and his judgments, and his commandments, alway; all his laws, ceremonial, judicial, and moral; and that constantly and continually, all the days of their lives.
