God

Wherefore Levi hath no part nor possession with his brethren: because the Lord himself is his possession, as the Lord thy God promised him.

And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee.

And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them.

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

Behold heaven is the Lord's thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.

And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.

Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.

He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.

In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.

Therefore love the Lord thy God and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments at all times.

Know this day the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm,

The signs and works which he did in the midst of Egypt to king Pharao, and to all his land,

And to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and how the Lord destroyed them until this present day:

And what he hath done to you in the wilderness, til you came to this place:

And to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, who was the son of Ruben: whom the earth, opening her mouth swallowed up with their households and tents, and all their substance, which they had in the midst of Israel.

Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, that he hath done,

And may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey.

And the Lord thy God doth always visit it, and his eyes are on it from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.

If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul:

And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you.

Lay up these words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them between your eyes.

That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth.

For if you keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him,
