Deuteronomy 4:1-9
1Now therefore hearkenH8085, O IsraelH3478, unto the statutesH2706 and unto the judgmentsH4941, which I teachH3925 you, for to doH6213 them, that ye may liveH2421, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which YhwhH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 givethH5414 you.
2Ye shall not addH3254 unto the wordH1697 which I commandH6680 you, neither shall ye diminishH1639 ought from it, that ye may keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430 which I commandH6680 you.
3Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 what YhwhH3068 didH6213 because of Baal–peorH1187: for all the menH376 that followedH1980H310 Baal–peorH1187, YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath destroyedH8045 them from amongH7130 you.
4But ye that did cleaveH1695 unto YhwhH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 every one of you this dayH3117.
5BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 YhwhH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 whither ye goH935 to possessH3423 it.
6KeepH8104 therefore and doH6213 them; for this is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH998 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH5971, which shall hearH8085 all these statutesH2706, and sayH559, Surely this greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.
7For what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, who hath GodH430 so nighH7138 unto them, as YhwhH3068 our GodH430 is in all things that we callH7121 upon him for?
8And what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 so righteousH6662 as all this lawH8451, which I setH5414 beforeH6440 you this dayH3117?
9Only take heedH8104 to thyself, and keepH8104 thy soulH5315 diligentlyH3966, lest thou forgetH7911 the thingsH1697 which thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200, and lest they departH5493 from thy heartH3824 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: but teachH3045 them thy sonsH1121, and thy sons’H1121 sonsH1121;
