Remember that you were servants in the land of Egypt. The Lord your God brought you out of there by a powerful hand and a long arm. So the Lord your God told you to keep the Day of Rest.

‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has told you. So your life may be long and it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God gives you.

And you said, ‘See, the Lord our God has shown us His shining-greatness. We have heard His voice from the center of the fire. Today we have seen that God speaks with man and man still lives.

But why should we die now? For this big fire will burn us up. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we will die.

For who of all flesh has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking from the center of the fire, as we have heard, and lived?

Go near and hear all the Lord our God says. Then tell us all the Lord our God says to you, and we will listen and do it.'

Be careful to do just as the Lord your God has told you. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left.

Walk in all the way the Lord your God has told you. Then you may live, it may be well with you, and you may live a long time in the land that will belong to you.

"These are the Laws which the Lord your God has told me to teach you. You are to do them in the land you are going to take for your own.

Then you and your son and your grandson will fear the Lord your God. You will obey all His Laws that I tell you, all the days of your life. And then you will have a longer life.

O Israel, you should listen and be careful to do them. Then it will go well with you. And you will become many in a land flowing with milk and honey. This is what the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

"Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord!

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

"The Lord your God will bring you into the land He promised to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give to you. There will be big and beautiful cities which you did not build.

You must fear the Lord your God. You must worship Him, and swear by His name.

Or the anger of the Lord your God will burn against you. He will destroy you from the earth. For the Lord your God Who is among you is a jealous God.

"Do not test the Lord your God, as you put Him to the test at Massah.

Be careful to keep all the Laws which the Lord your God has told you.

So the Lord told us to do all these Laws and to fear the Lord our God for our good always, as it is today.

We will be right with the Lord our God if we are careful to obey all of the Law before Him, just as He told us.
