<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Moses called all the people of Israel together and said to them:<n id="1" /> &#8220;Listen, Israel, to the statutes and ordinances that I am about to deliver to you today; learn them and be careful to keep them!

<t /><p class="bodytext">If you obey these ordinances and are careful to do them, the <sc>Lordsc> your God will faithfully keep covenant with you<n id="1" /> as he promised<n id="2" /> your ancestors.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now pay attention to all the commandments<n id="1" /> I am giving<n id="2" /> you today, so that you may be strong enough to enter and possess the land where you are headed,<n id="3" />

But if you repent<n id="1" /> and obey<n id="2" /> my commandments and do them, then even if your dispersed people are in the most remote location,<n id="3" /> I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen for my name to reside.&#8217;
