Deuteronomy 4:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:2

Moses Commands Obedience

1 “Now, O Israel, listen to ^athe statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and¹ possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you.

2 ^aYou shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at ^aBaal Peor; for the Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor.

4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.

5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess.

6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is ^ayour wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’
