Deuteronomy 4:3-13

3Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 what the LORDH3068 didH6213 because of BaalpeorH1187: for all the menH376 that followedH310H1980 BaalpeorH1187, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath destroyedH8045 them from amongH7130 you.

4But ye who held fastH1695 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 each one of you this dayH3117.

5BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 where 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, which hath GodH430 so nearH7138 to them, as the LORDH3068 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 shouldest forgetH7911 the thingsH1697 which thy eyesH5869 have seenH7200, and lest they departH5493 from thy heartH3824 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: but teachH3045 them to thy sonsH1121, and thy sonsH1121’ sonsH1121;

10Especially the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, GatherH6950 the peopleH5971 to me, and I will make them hearH8085 my wordsH1697, that they may learnH3925 to fearH3372 me all the daysH3117 that they shall liveH2416 upon the earthH127, and that they may teachH3925 their childrenH1121.

11And ye came nearH7126 and stoodH5975 under the mountainH2022; and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784 to the midstH3820 of heavenH8064, with darknessH6205, cloudsH6051, and thick darknessH2822.1

12And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to you out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784: ye heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697, but sawH7200 no similitudeH8544; onlyH2108 ye heard a voiceH6963.2

13And he declaredH5046 to you his covenantH1285, which he commandedH6680 you to performH6213, even tenH6235 commandmentsH1697; and he wroteH3789 them upon twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68.
