Deuteronomy 5:25-33

25But now, why should we risk death again? If the Lord our God speaks to us again, we will certainly die and be consumed by this awesome fire.

26Can any living thing hear the voice of the living God from the heart of the fire as we did and yet survive?

27Go yourself and listen to what the Lord our God says. Then come and tell us everything he tells you, and we will listen and obey.’

28“The Lord heard the request you made to me. And he said, ‘I have heard what the people said to you, and they are right.

29Oh, that they would always have hearts like this, that they might fear me and obey all my commands! If they did, they and their descendants would prosper forever.

30Go and tell them, “Return to your tents.”

31But you stand here with me so I can give you all my commands, decrees, and regulations. You must teach them to the people so they can obey them in the land I am giving them as their possession.’”

32So Moses told the people, “You must be careful to obey all the commands of the Lord your God, following his instructions in every detail.

33Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.
