The Requirement of Love and Obedience
Deuteronomy 11:1-7
1
"Therefore, you are to love ADONAI your God and always obey his commission, regulations, rulings and mitzvot.
2
Today it is you I am addressing -not your children, who haven't known or experienced the discipline of ADONAI your God, his greatness, his strong hand, his outstretched arm,
3
his signs and his actions which he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to his entire country.
4
They didn't experience what he did to Egypt's army, horses and chariots -how ADONAI overwhelmed them with the water of the Sea of Suf as they were pursuing you, so that they remain destroyed to this day.
5
They didn't experience what he kept doing for you in the desert until you arrived at this place;
6
or what he did to Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eli'av the descendant of Re'uven -how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, along with their households, tents and every living thing in their company, there in front of all Isra'el.
7
But you have seen with your own eyes all these great deeds of ADONAI.
