Yea, and what nation is so great that hath ordinances and laws so righteous, as all this law which I set before you this day? Take heed to thyself therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons. The day that I stood before the LORD your God in Horeb - when he said unto me, 'Gather me the people together, that I may make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me as long as they live upon the earth and that they may teach their children' - ye came and stood also under the hill, and the hill burnt with fire: even unto the midst of heaven, and there was darkness, clouds and mist. And the LORD spake unto you out of the fire and ye heard the voice of the words; But saw no image, save heard a voice only. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, even ten verses and wrote them in two tables of stone. And the LORD commanded me, the same season, to teach you ordinances and laws, for to do them in the land whither ye go to possess it.

And yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: and your clothes are not waxed old upon you, nor are thy shoes waxed old upon thy feet. Ye have eaten no bread, nor drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know, how that he is the LORD your God. And at the last ye came unto this place, and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against you unto battle, and we smote them and took their land and gave it a heritance unto the Reubenites and Gadites and to the half tribe of Manasseh. Keep therefore the words of this covenant and do them, that ye may understand all that ye ought to do. Ye stand here this day every one of you before the LORD your God: both the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officers and all the men of Israel; your children, your wives and the strangers that are in thine host, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water; that thou shouldest come under the covenant of the LORD thy God, and under his oath which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day. For to make thee a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
