10 “As at the first time, aI stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; bthe Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you.
11 aThen the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, begin your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
The Essence of the Law
12 “And now, Israel, awhat does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to blove Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today afor your good?
14 Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the aLord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.
15 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their1 descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.
16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your aheart, and be bstiff-necked no longer.
17 For the Lord your God is aGod of gods and bLord of lords, the great God, cmighty and awesome, who dshows no partiality nor takes a bribe.
18 aHe administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
