10“Then it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961 whenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 thatH834 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, to giveH5414 you, 1greatH1419 and splendidH2896 citiesH5892 whichH834 you did not buildH1129, 11and housesH1004 fullH4392 of allH3605 goodH2898 thingsH2898 whichH834 you did not fillH4390, and carvedH2672 cisternsH953 whichH834 you did not carveH2672 outH2672, vineyardsH3754 and oliveH2132 treesH2132 whichH834 you did not plantH5193, and 2you eatH398 and areH7646 satisfiedH7646, 12beH8104 3carefulH8104 that 4you do not forgetH7911 the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, outH3318 of the houseH1004 of 5slaveryH5650. 136You shall 7fearH3372 only the LordH3068 your GodH430; and you shall 8worshipH5647 Him and 9swearH7650 by His nameH8034. 1410You shall not followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430, anyH312 of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 surroundH5439 you, 15for the LordH3068 your GodH430 who is in the midstH7130 of you is a 11jealousH7067 GodH410; so follow Him, orH6435 elseH6435 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 12wipeH8045 you offH4480H5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16“13You shall not putH5254 the LordH3068 your GodH430 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254, 14as you testedH5254 Him at MassahH4532. 1715You shall diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, and His provisionsH5713 and His statutesH2706 whichH834 He has commandedH6680 you. 18You shall doH6213 what is rightH3477 and goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, soH4616 thatH4616 16it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you and that you may goH935 inH935 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to give your fathersH1, 19by drivingH1920 outH1920 allH3605 your enemiesH340 from you, as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.

20“17WhenH3588 your sonH1121 asksH7592 you in timeH4279 to comeH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 do the provisionsH5713 and the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 mean whichH834 the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 you?’ 21then you shall sayH559 to your sonH1121, ‘We were slavesH5650 to PharaohH6547 in EgyptH4714, and the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us outH3318 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027. 22Moreover, the LordH3068 providedH5414 greatH1419 and terribleH7451 signsH226 and wondersH4159 before our eyesH5869 against EgyptH4714, PharaohH6547, and allH3605 his householdH1004; 23He broughtH3318 us outH3318 of thereH8033 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 bringH935 us inH935, to giveH5414 us the landH776 whichH834 He had swornH7650 to our fathersH1.’ 24So the LordH3068 commandedH6680 us to 18followH6213 allH3605 theseH428 statutesH2706, 19to fearH3372 the LordH3068 our GodH430 for our own goodH2896 alwaysH3605H3117 and 20for our survivalH2421, as it is todayH2088H3117. 25And 21it will be righteousnessH6666 for us ifH3588 we areH8104 carefulH8104 to 22followH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 commandmentH4687 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 our GodH430, justH3512 asH3512 He commandedH6680 us.
