Deuteronomy 4:3-13

3Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 whatH834 the LORDH3068 didH6213 becauseH3588 of Baal-peorH1187: for allH3605 the menH376 that followedH310 Baal-peorH1187, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath destroyedH8045 them from the midstH7130 of thee.

4But ye that didH3117 cleave unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 everyH3605 one of youH859 this dayH3117.

5BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 youH859 statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, evenH3651 as the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 meH935, that ye should doH6213 soH3651 in the midstH7130 of the landH776 whither ye goH935 in to possessH3423 it.

6KeepH8104 therefore and doH6213 them; for this is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH995 in the sightH5869 of the peoplesH5971, whichH834 shall hearH8085 allH3605 theseH428 statutesH2706, and sayH559, SurelyH3588 this greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.

7For whatH834 greatH1419 nationH1471 is there, that hath a godH430 soH7121 nigh unto them, as the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is whensoever weH3588 callH7121 uponH7121 him?

8And whatH834 greatH1419 nationH1471 is there, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 soH5414 righteousH6662 as allH3605 this lawH8451, whichH834 I setH5414 beforeH6440 youH834 this dayH3117?

9OnlyH7535 takeH5493 heedH8104 to thyself, and keepH8104 thy soulH5315 diligentlyH3966, lestH6435 thou forgetH7911 the things whichH834 thine eyesH5869 sawH7200, and lestH6435 they departH5493 from thy heartH3824 allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH5315; but makeH3045 them knownH3045 unto thy childrenH1121 and thy children’sH1121 childrenH1121;

10the dayH3117 that thou stoodest beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, AssembleH6950 meH413 the peopleH5971, and I will makeH8085 them hearH8085 my wordsH1697, that they may learnH3925 to fearH3372 meH413 allH3605 the daysH3117 that they liveH2416 uponH5921 the earthH127, and that they may teachH3925 their childrenH1121.

11And ye cameH7126 nearH7126 and stoodH5975 underH8478 the mountainH2022; and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784 unto the heartH3820 of heavenH8064, with darknessH2822, cloudH6051, and thickH6205 darknessH2822.

12And the LORDH3068 spake unto youH859 outH413 of the midstH8432 of the fireH784: ye heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of wordsH1697, but ye sawH7200 noH369 formH8544; onlyH2108 ye heardH8085 a voiceH6963.

13And he declaredH5046 unto youH834 his covenantH1285, whichH834 he commandedH6680 youH834 to performH6213, evenH853 the tenH6235 commandmentsH1697; and he wroteH3789 them uponH5921 twoH8147 tables of stoneH68.
