About Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 1:1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan river in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.

Deuteronomy 1:11 The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!

Deuteronomy 1:13 Take you wise men and understanding and known among your tribes and I will make them rulers over you.

Deuteronomy 1:16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren and judge righteously between every man and his brother and the stranger that is with him.

Deuteronomy 1:17 You shall not respect persons in judgment.(James 2:1-9), but you shall hear the small as well as the great. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's and the cause that is too hard for you bring it unto me and I will hear it.
Who judges and how? Today we bring it to God in prayer and meditation, with having in mind what we seek:.John 16:24.
Deuteronomy 1:21 Behold, God has set the land before you. Go up and possess it, as God of your fathers has said unto you, fear not, neither be discouraged.
Today God has done the same. So, how to go up today and make it ours. 
Deuteronomy 1:28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we. The cities are great and walled up to heaven and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims.(Deuteronomy 2:10,11,20,21).there.

Deuteronomy 1:29,30 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. God goes before you. He shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.

Deuteronomy 1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
These Old Testament.Israelities.carped and complained after God used Moses.(why Moses couldn't go into the promised land:.Deuteronomy 34:1-5).to bring them out of Egyptian bondage that they were in for 430 years and bring them into the land which God promised them. But they just didn't at all trust God. So God said that's it, you're not going into the land I promised you, God does change His mind. I mean, like why bring a group of unthankful complaining people into a whole new era and location in their lives. They'd be the same anyway and away from God's purpose of joy and blessings for them. Lesson for today is be thankful for God and what God is working out here and get on board. How?
Deuteronomy 1:36 Save Caleb.(Joshua 15:13).the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it and to him will I give the land that he will trod upon and to his children, because he wholly follows God.

Deuteronomy 1:42 And God said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, for I am not among you, lest you be smitten before your enemies.

Deuteronomy 2:7 For God has blessed you in all the works of your hand. He knows your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.

Deuteronomy 2:10,11 The Emims.(name means 'terrors').dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many and tall, as the Anakims.(verse 21); Which also were accounted giants as the Anakims, but the Moabites call them Emims.

Deuteronomy 2:12 The Horims.(also called 'Horites').also dwelt in Seir beforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them when they had destroyed them and dwelt their in their stead, as Israel did unto the land of its possession, which God gave unto them.

Deuteronomy 2:17,18 That God spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day.

Deuteronomy 2:19 And when you come nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them, for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession, because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

Deuteronomy 2:20 That also was accounted a land of giants. Giants dwelt therein in old time.(way before the flood).and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims.

Deuteronomy 2:21 A people great and many and tall, as the Anakims, but the Lord destroyed them before them and they succeeded them and dwelt in their stead.
Deuteronomy 2:21 A people great and many and tall, as the Anakims.(*), but the Lord destroyed them.(the Emins {a.k.a. Zamzummins or Zumins {the Moabites knew them as Emins and the Ammonites knew them as Zamzummins} were destroyed by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam:.Genesis 14:5).before them.(in front of the Anakims:.Deuteronomy 1:28).and they.(the Anakims were also a giant race {Genesis 6:4} like the Emins and the Rephaims).succeeded them and dwelt in their stead.
Deuteronomy 2:23 And the.Avims.(aka Avites; comprised from.Fausett's Bible Dictionary: 'a people who worshipped the idols Nibhaz and Tartek; they lived in the area of the Hivites {Genesis 10:15-18} in a city of their same name:.2Kings 17:31).which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them.(destroyed the Avim people and took over their land).and dwelt in their stead.

Deuteronomy 2:24 Rise you up, take your journey and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon and his land. Begin to possess it and contend with him in battle.

Deuteronomy 2:25-32 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you. And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only I will pass through on my feet, as the children of Esau which dwell in Seir and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me, until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which God gives us. But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appears this day. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before.(in front of).you. Begin to possess it that you may inherit his land. Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

Deuteronomy 2:33 And God delivered him before us and we smote him and his sons and all his people.

Deuteronomy 2:34 And we took all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed the men and the women and the little ones of every city, we left none to remain.

Deuteronomy 2:35-37 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves and the spoil.(all the stuff that was left that they couldn't use because they were dead).of the cities which we took. From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. God delivered all unto us. Only unto the land of the children of Ammon we came not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the God forbad us.

Deuteronomy 3:2,3 And God said unto me, Fear him not, for I will deliver him and all his people and his land, into your hand and you shall do unto him as you did unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan and all his people and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

Deuteronomy 3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Deuteronomy 3:5-7 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates and bars, beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women and children, of every city. But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 

Deuteronomy 3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon.

Deuteronomy 3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits.(15 feet).was the length thereof and four cubits.(6 feet).the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

Deuteronomy 3:12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon and half mount Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
JFB Commentary:."the whole territory occupied by Sihon was parceled out among the pastoral tribes of Reuben and Gad. It extended from the north bank of the Arnon to the south half of mount Gilead, a small mountain ridge, now called Djelaad, about six or seven miles south of the Jabbok and eight miles in length. The northern portion of Gilead and the rich pasture lands of Bashan, a large province, consisting, with the exception of a few bleak and rocky spots, of strong and fertile soil, was assigned to the half tribe of Manasseh".Joshua 13:7.
Deuteronomy 3:13 And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh.(Numbers 34:14,15); all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

Deuteronomy 3:16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon.

Deuteronomy 3:22 You shall not fear them, for your God fights for you.

Deuteronomy 3:23-27 And I besought God at that time, saying, O God, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand, for what God is there in heaven or in Earth that can do according to your works and according to your might? I pray thee, let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me.(why?).for your sakes and would not hear me and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee, speak no more unto me of this matter. Get yourself up into the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward and behold it with your eyes, for you shall not go over the river Jordan to it.
The Jordan River; Moses was restricted from entering the promised land because of his attitude of anger:.Numbers 20:12.
Deuteronomy 3:28 But charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you'll only look at.

Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 4:3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor, for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

Deuteronomy 4:6 Keep therefore and do them for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations which shall hear all these statutes and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Deuteronomy 4:7 For what nation is there so great who has God so near unto them as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
How do we do this?
Deuteronomy 4:8,9 And what nation is there so great that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? Only take heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, lest you forget the things which thine eyes have seen and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life, but teach them thy sons and thy sons' sons.

Deuteronomy 4:10 Specially the day that you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the Earth and that they may teach their children.

Deuteronomy 4:11,12 And you came near and stood under the mountain and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds and thick darkness. And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude, only you heard a voice.

Deuteronomy 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even commandments and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.(Exodus 31:18).

Deuteronomy 4:14,15 And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it...Take you therefore good heed unto yourselves, for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.

Deuteronomy 4:19 Beware lest you should be driven to worship the sun. moon and stars, even all the host of heaven, to serve them as the pagans do.

Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord has taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as you are this day.

Deuteronomy 4:21.22 Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and sware that I should not go over Jordan and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance...But I must die in this land.(why?), I must not go over Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
The promised land:.Numbers 13:25-28.
Deuteronomy 4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you and make you a graven image or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord your God has forbidden you.

Deuteronomy 4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:29.

God doesn't want to lose your attention to some stupid idol, as happened to the ancients:.Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Deuteronomy 4:25-28 When you shall beget children and children's children and you shall have remained long in the land and shall corrupt yourselves and make a graven image or the likeness of anything and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, to provoke him to anger; I call heaven and Earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it. You shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you. And there you shall serve Gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 

Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence.(from the time and time again captivities they ended up being in).you seek the Lord your God, you'll find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Jeremiah 29:13.
Deuteronomy 4:30 When you are in tribulation and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the Lord your God and be obedient.(original is 'listen' and that, toward learning.{*}).unto his voice.(*),

Deuteronomy 4:31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God, he will not forsake you.(Hebrews 13:5), neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant.(*).of your fathers which he sware unto them.

Deuteronomy 4:32-34 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the Earth and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is or has been heard like it? Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard and live? Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs and by wonders and by war and by a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto you it was showed, that you might know that the Lord is God. There is none else beside him.
Isaiah 46:5,9,10.
Deuteronomy 4:36-38 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee and upon Earth he showed thee his great fire and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt, to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore this day and consider it.(think about it).in your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and upon the Earth beneath.(*). There is none else.

Deuteronomy 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes and his commandments, which I command you this day.(what are these today in this era of the New Testament?), that it may go well with you and with thy children after thee and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the Earth, which the Lord thy God gives you, for ever.

Deuteronomy 4:44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 4:45 These are the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

Deuteronomy 4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon.

Deuteronomy 5:1 And Moses called all Israel and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them and keep and do them.

Deuteronomy 5:2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
A general name for the whole mountain range of which Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:1,11) was one of the summits. The place where Moses in anger because of being fed up with the wayward and complaining Israelites, smacked the rock in anger.
Deuteronomy 5:3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

Deuteronomy 5:4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire.(Deuteronomy 4:10-12).saying,

Deuteronomy 5:5 I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to show you the word of the Lord. For you were afraid by reason of the fire and went not up into the mount, saying,

Deuteronomy 5:6 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage.

Deuteronomy 5:7 Thou shalt have none other Gods before me.
Originally brought forth by God through Moses, in.Exodus 20:3-17. See there for info on the twelve commandments.
Deuteronomy 5:8 You shall not make you any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the Earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the Earth.
But they did:.Exodus 32:4,8.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them.(but they did all throughout the writings in the Old Testament). For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Deuteronomy 5:10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Deuteronomy 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.(but they did by how they lived). For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

Deuteronomy 5:12-15 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it.(this they did), as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass.(donkey), nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm. Therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour.(have great respect for).your father and your mother.(this they did), as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God gives you.

Deuteronomy 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
Means, do no murder; but they killed even women and children.
Deuteronomy 5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
But they did.
Deuteronomy 5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
They, for the most part, kept this commandment.
Deuteronomy 5:20 Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.
They, for the most part, also kept this commandment, but as time went on right up the time of Emmanuel, things just became more corrupt in this regard and in other ways and then continued on through to today.
Deuteronomy 5:21 Neither desire your neighbour's wife.(but they did), neither shalt thou covet your neighbour's house, his field or his manservant or his maidservant, his ox or his ass or any thing that is your neighbour's.
They did respect the property of other people in their nation.
Deuteronomy 5:22 These words.(above, verses 6-21 and the two missing commandments).the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. And he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone.(original for 'stone' can also mean 'precious stones' such as an orb would be:.Exodus 31:18).and delivered them unto me.(speaking here of Moses).

Deuteronomy 5:23 And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, for the mountain did burn with fire, that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders;

Deuteronomy 5:24 And you said, Behold, the Lord our God has showed us his glory and his greatness and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God does talk with man and he lives.
Even though they saw this was true for Moses, they felt it couldn't be true for them, because they knew they weren't up to God's standard, felt God would judge them as such and thus.shied away from God. The standard they believed about God wasn't true and in this error, they moved even further away:.Jeremiah 44:16,17.
Deuteronomy 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.

Deuteronomy 5:26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire as we have and lived?

Deuteronomy 5:27 Go you near and hear all that the Lord our God shall say.(you go do it Moses, we'll stay here).and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto you and we will hear it and do it..(said also in Exodus 24:3)

Deuteronomy 5:28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when you spake unto me and God said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you. They have well said.(but their heart wasn't in it as the next verse shows).all that they have spoken.

Deuteronomy 5:29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children for ever!
Deuteronomy 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me.('fear me' is to respect by listening and taking seriously what is said. There's never a question as to whether or not the true God's ways work. God designed them and God makes no mistakes ever. God knew {Acts 15:18} what He was doing when He designed the onerous.Old Testament law).and keep all my commandments.(commandments are instructions, guidance and for today, what are the 'commandments'? as they were amplified beyond what they were back then).always, that it might be well with them.(the Creator's heart has always been that we reach as high as we can and continue to move upward and onward {*} and the only way to do that is with love in the heart; God's ways are not the ways of the mass mind thinking of all humanity that we are here on Earth to learn to move away from:.Leviticus 20:23; Hebrews 3:10).and with their children for ever!.(paraphrased from the original, 'whoever lives life knowing God is real will have happy children':.Jeremiah 32:38-42)

Also:
Jeremiah 7:23  "But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice and I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you."
Deuteronomy 29:9 "Keep therefore the words of this covenant and do them that you may prosper in all that you do."

But they lacked the heart, lacked the interest to do all these so many laws.

Ezekiel 11:19 "And I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and will give them an heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 18:31 "Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed and make you a new heart and a new spirit, for why will you die, O house of Israel?"
Ezekiel 36:26 "A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you..."

Deuteronomy 5:30,31 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. But as for you, stand you here by me and I will speak unto you all the commandments and the statutes and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

Deuteronomy 5:32 You shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Deuteronomy 5:33 You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel.(who is 'Israel' today?), The Lord our God is one Lord.

Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Matthew 22:36-40.
Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words, which I instruct you this day, should be in your heart.
But they weren't in their heart because just telling them wasn't enough (?). What was enough?
Deuteronomy 6:7 And you shall teach them.diligently unto your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 6:7 And you shall teach them.diligently.(original for 'diligently' is 'sharp', that is, it will make them sharp in their thinking; be a parent who is able to sharpen iron:.Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.".Are your children your friends? and.Daniel 1:4).unto your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 6:8 And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
"Between your eyes".means always thinking from a higher conscousness level, but this takes soul contact and these people in these Old Testament times didn't have the heart to do such things, so God had to give humanity a new heart.
Deuteronomy 6:12-14 Then beware lest you forget the Lord, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage. You shall fear the Lord you God and serve him and shalt swear by his name. You shall not go after other Gods, of the Gods of the people which are round about you.

Deuteronomy 6:15 For the Lord your God is a jealous God among you lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you and destroy you from off the face of the Earth.

Deuteronomy 6:16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
Concise Bible Dictionary: Massah, like the word Meribah, means 'temptation', 'trial', a name given to the place where the Israelites, by their murmuring for want of water, provoked the Creator to anger against them. They had just seen God's power open the waters so they could walk safely through, but this didn't stick with them, so rather than trust God they allowed themselves to castigate.God:.Exodus 17:7; Psalms 95:8-10; Hebrews 3:8.
Deuteronomy 6:17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
It was nuts as there were over 600 of them. There was no way they could keep them without love being in their heart.(Romans 13:10), which it wasn't:.Deuteronomy 5:29.
Deuteronomy 6:18,19 And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.

Deuteronomy 6:20-23 And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded you? Then you can say unto your son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his household, before our eyes. And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us into give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

Deuteronomy 6:24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Deuteronomy 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
