Chapter 10
12
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you except to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your nephesh?
13
to keep the commandments of the LORD and his statutes, which I am commanding you today, for your good.
14
Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the heavens of heavens, the earth, and all that is in it.
15
The LORD desired only your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, in you, from all the peoples, as at this day.
16
Circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and do not stiffen your neck anymore.
17
For the LORD your God—he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty and the awesome God, who does not show partiality and does not take a bribe.
18
He does justice for the orphan and widow and loves the stranger, giving him bread and clothing.
19
You shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20
You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear.
21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who did for you these great things and awesome deeds which your eyes saw.
22
With seventy souls your fathers went down to Egypt, and now the LORD your God has made you like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
