Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; ignore the stubbornness, wickedness, and sin of these people.

However, only to your ancestors did he<n id="1" /> show his loving favor,<n id="2" /> and he chose you, their descendants,<n id="3" /> from all peoples &#8211; as is apparent today.

<p class="bodytext">Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: &#8220;Be quiet and pay attention, Israel. Today you have become the people of the <sc>Lordsc> your God.
