You must revere the Lord your God, serve him, and take oaths using only his name.

You must not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah.

and that you may drive out all your enemies just as the Lord said.

Moreover, you continued to provoke the Lord at Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.

You must not erect a sacred pillar, a thing the Lord your God detests.

Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the Lord your God.

For I will proclaim the name of the Lord; you must acknowledge the greatness of our God.

Watch yourselves carefully! Love the Lord your God!
