Deuteronomy 4:3-13

3Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy 1God hath destroyed them from among you;

4but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your 2God are alive every one of you this day.

5See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my 3God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it.

6And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

7For what great nation is there that hath 4God near to them as Jehovah our 5God is in everything we call upon him for?

8And what great nation is there that hath righteous statutes and ordinances, as all this law which I set before you this day?

9Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),

10the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy 6God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children.

11And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity.

12And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.

13And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
