Deuteronomy 4:1, 5, 9, 14

Now, Israel, listen to the rules and laws I’m going to teach you. Obey them and you will live. You will go in and take over the land. The LORD was the God of your people of long ago. He’s giving you the land.

I have taught you rules and laws, just as the LORD my God commanded me. Obey them in the land you are entering to take as your very own.

Don’t be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don’t forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don’t let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.

At that time the LORD directed me to teach you his rules and laws. You must obey them in the land you are crossing the Jordan River to take as your own.
