And the Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

"So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you.

For they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.'

"At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain and make an ark of wood.

and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord , which I am commanding you today for your good?

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.

He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.

Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen.

For your eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord that he did.

For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it, like a garden of vegetables.

a land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.

And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him,

For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it,

for you have not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance that the Lord your God is giving you.

Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.

You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
