Deuteronomy 11:1-8

1Love the Lord your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.

2Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the Lord your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;

3the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country;

4what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them.

5It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place,

6and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.

7But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done.

8Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
