From heaven He let you hear His voice that He might discipline you, and upon the earth He showed you His great fire, and His words you heard from the midst of the fire.

And because He loved your fathers, He chose their seed after them and brought you out by His presence, by His great power, from Egypt,

Driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today.

Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other.

And Moses called all Israel and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I am speaking in your hearing today, and learn them and keep them, so that you may do them.
