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.
11aThen 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.’

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,
13and 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 itis this day.
16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your aheart, and be bstiff-necked no longer.
17 For the Lord your God isaGod of gods and bLord of lords, the great God, cmighty and awesome, who dshows no partiality nor takes a bribe.
18aHe administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
19 Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20aYou shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.
21 He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.
22 Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
