Context of Deuteronomy 10:13
11Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go now! Lead the people on their journey. Then they can go into the land and take it for themselves. It is the land that I promised to their ancestors that I would give to them.’ 12So, people of Israel, this is what the Lord your God wants you to do: You should respect him with fear. You should live in a way that pleases him. Love him and serve him in everything that you think and in everything that you do. Obey the Lord's commands and rules that I am giving to you today. If you do these things, you will have a happy life. 14The whole sky and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God. The earth and everything that is in it also belong to him. 15But the Lord chose to love your ancestors with a faithful love. You are their descendants. He has chosen you from among all the people of the world. You can see that this is true today!
