Deuteronomy 4:1-9
1“NowH6258, O IsraelH3478, listenH8085 to the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 1I am teachingH3925 you to performH6213, soH4616 that 2you may liveH2421 and goH935 in and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, is givingH5414 you. 23You shall not addH3254 to the wordH1697 whichH834 4I am commandingH6680 you, norH3808 takeH1639 awayH1639 from it, that you may keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 whichH834 I commandH6680 you. 35Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 whatH853H834 the LordH3068 has doneH6213 in the case of Baal-peorH1187, for allH3605 the menH376 whoH834 followedH1980H310 Baal-peorH1187, the LordH3068 your GodH430 has destroyedH8045 6them from amongH7130 you. 4But you who heldH1695 fastH1695 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 todayH3117, everyH3605 oneH3605 of you.
5“SeeH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 7justH3512 as the LordH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that you should doH6213 thusH3651 in the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it. 6So keepH8104 and doH6213 them, 8for that is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH998 in the sightH5869 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 will hearH8085 allH3605 theseH428 statutesH2706 and sayH559, ‘SurelyH7534 thisH2088 greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.’ 7For 9whatH4310 greatH1419 nationH1471 is there that has a godH430 10so nearH7138 to it as is the LordH3068 our GodH430 11wheneverH3605 we callH7121 on Him? 8Or whatH4310 greatH1419 nationH1471 is there that has 12statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 as righteousH6662 as thisH2088 wholeH3605 lawH8451 whichH834 I am settingH5414 beforeH6440 you todayH3117?
9“OnlyH7534 13giveH8104 heedH8104 to yourself and keepH8104 your soulH5315 diligentlyH3966, soH6435 that you do not forgetH7911 the thingsH1697 whichH834 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 and they do not departH5493 from your heartH3824 14allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2425; but 15makeH3045 them knownH3045 to your sonsH1121 and your grandsonsH1121.
