Texts -- Deuteronomy 11:1-6 (NET)

Context
Reiteration of the Call to Obedience
11:1 You must love the Lord your God and do what he requires ; keep his statutes , ordinances , and commandments at all times . 11:2 Bear in mind today that I am not speaking to your children who have not personally experienced the judgments of the Lord your God , which revealed his greatness , strength , and power . 11:3 They did not see the awesome deeds he performed in the midst of Egypt against Pharaoh king of Egypt and his whole land , 11:4 or what he did to the army of Egypt , including their horses and chariots , when he made the waters of the Red Sea overwhelm them while they were pursuing you and he annihilated them. 11:5 They did not see what he did to you in the desert before you reached this place , 11:6 or what he did to Dathan and Abiram , sons of Eliab the Reubenite , when the earth opened its mouth in the middle of the Israelite camp and swallowed them, their families , their tents , and all the property they brought with them.
