Remember the Lord Your God

1 “Every commandment which I command you today ayou must be careful to observe, that you may live and bmultiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord3 swore to your fathers.  
2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God aled you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and btest you, cto know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.  
3 So He humbled you, aallowed you to hunger, and bfed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall cnot live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.  
4 aYour garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.  
5 aYou should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.  
6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, ato walk in His ways and to fear Him.  
7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, aa land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;  
8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
10 aWhen you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.  
11 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,

Deuteronomy

DEUTERONOMY, the second law, a title which plainly shows what is the object of this book, namely, a recapitulation of the law. It was given in the form of public addresses to the people; and as Moses spoke in the prospect of his speedy removal, he enforced obedience to it by many forcible appeals to the Israelites, concerning their long and varied experience both of the mercies and the judgments of God. The minute notices of the heathen people with whom they had come in contact, but who afterward disappeared from the pages of history, as well as the accounts of the fertility and products of Canaan, and the counsels respecting the conquest of that country, fix the date of this book and the time of its composition by the hand of Moses. The close, however, must have been added by another; and, indeed, it is supposed by some to have formed the original preface to the Book of Joshua.
