At that time I was standing between the Lord and you to report the word of the Lord to you, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain. And He said:

He humbled you by letting you go hungry; then He gave you manna to eat, which you and your fathers had not known, so that you might learn that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

When Moses had finished writing down on a scroll every single word of this law,

Then Moses recited aloud every single word of this song to the entire assembly of Israel:

Let my teaching fall like rain
and my word settle like dew,
like gentle rain on new grass
and showers on tender plants.

He said about his father and mother,
“I do not regard them.”
He disregarded his brothers
and didn’t acknowledge his sons,
for they kept Your word
and maintained Your covenant.
