Moses proclaimed to all Israel as follows: “You have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, all his servants, and his land.

The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his intense anger.

when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God in the place he chooses, you must read this law before them within their hearing.

This very day I will begin to fill all the people of the earth with dread and to terrify them when they hear about you. They will shiver and shake in anticipation of your approach.”

However, you did not approach the land of the Ammonites, the Wadi Jabbok, the cities of the hill country, or any place else forbidden by the Lord our God.

So the Lord our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.

All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.

We put all of these under divine judgment just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon – every occupied city, including women and children.

all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Be very careful, then, because you saw no form at the time the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the middle of the fire.

After you have produced children and grandchildren and have been in the land a long time, if you become corrupt and make an image of any kind and do other evil things before the Lord your God that enrage him,

In your distress when all these things happen to you in the latter days, if you return to the Lord your God and obey him

You must not make for yourself an image of anything in heaven above, on earth below, or in the waters beneath.

Then, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness while the mountain was ablaze, all your tribal leaders and elders approached me.

Who is there from the entire human race who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived?

We will be innocent if we carefully keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, just as he demands.”

The Lord will protect you from all sickness, and you will not experience any of the terrible diseases that you knew in Egypt; instead he will inflict them on all those who hate you.

a land where you may eat food in plenty and find no lack of anything, a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you can mine copper.

for you may do so only in the place the Lord chooses in one of your tribal areas – there you may do everything I am commanding you.

(13:1) You must be careful to do everything I am commanding you. Do not add to it or subtract from it!
