Take note – I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

Be certain to keep all the statutes and ordinances that I am presenting to you today.

The Lord will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.

The Lord your God is about to go ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt

the one who was constantly going before you to find places for you to set up camp. He appeared by fire at night and cloud by day, to show you the way you ought to go.

And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this whole law that I am about to share with you today?

Look! I have already given the land to you. Go, occupy the territory that I, the Lord, promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.”
