1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances that I teach you⁺ to observe, that you⁺ may live and go in and possess the land that YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers, is giving to you⁺. 2 You⁺ shall not add to the word that I command you⁺, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your⁺ God that I command you⁺. 3 Your⁺ eyes have seen what YHWH did at Baal-peor, for all the men who walked after Baal-Peor YHWH your God has destroyed from among you. 4 And you⁺, the ones clinging to YHWH your⁺ God, are alive, all of you⁺ today. 5 See, I have taught you⁺ statutes and ordinances as YHWH my God commanded me, that you should act accordingly in the midst of the land that you⁺ are going there to possess it. 6 Therefore, be careful and observe them, for that is your⁺ wisdom and your⁺ understanding in the eyes of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, “Surely a wise and understanding people is this great nation.” 7 For what is the great nation that has a god near to it as YHWH our God is to us in all that we call upon Him? 8 And what is the great nation that has righteous statutes and ordinances according to all this law that I set before you⁺ this day?
