- And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
- And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
- To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
- Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
- Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

- "Go," the LORD said to me, "and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them."
- And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
- and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
- To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
- Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today.
