Be careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the Lord your God has commanded you.

Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

These words I am commanding you today must be kept in mind,

be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, that place of slavery.

You must not go after other gods, those of the surrounding peoples,

Keep his commandments very carefully, as well as the stipulations and statutes he commanded you to observe.

So keep the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that I today am commanding you to do.

Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, the Lord your God disciplines you.

You will eat your fill and then praise the Lord your God because of the good land he has given you.

when your cattle and flocks increase, when you have plenty of silver and gold, and when you have abundance of everything,

They are your people, your valued property, whom you brought out with great strength and power.

and to keep the Lord’s commandments and statutes that I am giving you today for your own good?

The heavens – indeed the highest heavens – belong to the Lord your God, as does the earth and everything in it.

They did not see what he did to you in the desert before you reached this place,

I am speaking to you because you are the ones who saw all the great deeds of the Lord!

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

You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone doing what seems best to him,

Make sure you do not offer burnt offerings in any place you wish,

These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,

but whatever does not have fins and scales you may not eat; it is ritually impure to you.
