You shall fear Yahweh your God; and him you shall serve, and shall swear by his name.

You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

and Yahweh showed signs and wonders, great and intense, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son.

For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are on the face of the earth.

Yahweh did not set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:

Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving-kindness with those that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

and repays those that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face.

And you shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

And you shall consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

And you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

You be careful not to forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

And when Yahweh sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe him, nor listen to his voice.

(And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son served in the priest's office in his stead.

At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)

And now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

You shall fear Yahweh your God; him you shall serve; and to him you shall cleave, and by his name you shall swear.
