Deuteronomy 9:1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

Deuteronomy 9:2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou know and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

Deuteronomy 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord your God is he which goes over before you. As a consuming fire.(?).he shall destroy them and he shall bring them down before your face. So shall you drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said unto you.

Deuteronomy 9:4 Speak not you in thine heart, after that the Lord your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land, but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord does drive them out from before you.
When you have an advantage, it's important to overstand why and get the perspective correct.
Deuteronomy 9:5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go to possess their land. But for the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God does drive them out from before you and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 9:6 Understand therefore, that the Lord your God gives you not this good land to possess it because of your righteousness, for you are a stiffnecked people.

Deuteronomy 9:7 Remember and forget not, how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you did depart out of the land of Egypt until you came unto this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord.

Deuteronomy 9:8 Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to the point of destroying you.

Deuteronomy 9:9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you.(*), then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water. 

Deuteronomy 9:10 And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 

Deuteronomy 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

Deuteronomy 9:12-14 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get yourself down quickly from here, for your people which you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They are quickly turned aside.(they turned aside and then it just got worse from there:.Jeremiah 44:16,17).out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten image. Furthermore the Lord spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people and behold, it is a stiffnecked people. Let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
Moses, in spite of his faults, which seemed to mostly be of his anger, was not the kind of individual to allow himself higher position if it deprived others:.verses 18,19,25 just below.
Deuteronomy 9:15 So I.(Moses:.Deuteronomy 5:1,2).turned and came down from the mount and the mount burned with fire and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

Deuteronomy 9:16 And I looked and behold, I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God and had made you a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

Deuteronomy 9:17 And I took the two tables.(Deuteronomy 9:9-11).and cast them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.

Deuteronomy 9:18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first.(Moses was up the mountain twice, once here.Exodus 34:29-32.and then verse 25 below with 10:1-5, also below), forty days and forty nights. I did neither eat bread nor drink water, because of all your sins which you sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

Deuteronomy 9:19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also.

Deuteronomy 9:20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron and would have destroyed him but I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

Deuteronomy 9:21-24 And I took your sin, the calf which you had made and burnt it with fire and stamped it and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. And at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibrothhattaavah, you provoked the Lord to wrath. Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God and you believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.

Deuteronomy 9:25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because the Lord had said he would destroy you.

Deuteronomy 9:26-29 I prayed therefore unto the Lord and said, O Lord God, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.(Malachi 3:6). Look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin, lest the land whence thou brought us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.

Deuteronomy 10:1-5 At that time the Lord said unto me.(Moses), Hew these two tables of stone like unto the first.(Exodus 24:12).and come up unto me into the mount and make an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which you broke and you shall put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the commandments, which the Lord spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly and the Lord gave them unto me. And I turned myself and came down from the mount and put the tables in the ark which I had made and there they be, as the Lord commanded me.

Deuteronomy 10:8 At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before.(what does it mean to "stand before the Lord"?).the Lord to minister unto him and to bless in his name, unto this day.

Deuteronomy 10:9 Wherefore Levi has no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord your God promised him.

Deuteronomy 10:10 And I.(this was Moses).stayed in the mount, according to the first time.(the first time:.Exodus 34:29-32), forty days and forty nights and the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also and the Lord would not destroy you.

Deuteronomy 10:11 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.

Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways and to love him and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
But they didn't:.Deuteronomy 5:29: Jeremiah 44:16,17. Yet God loved them so much (John 3:16,17) and saw that they had such a hard time with being good according to a higher consciousness, that He abolished the entire Mosaic Law, replacing it with something so much greater (Hebrews 9:11) and giving us a great gift to massively improve our lives and the lives of others, there was really no comparison with the so-called  'righteousness' of the Mosaic Law and the new righteousness of Christ in you.
Deuteronomy 10:13 To keep the commandments of the Lord and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

Deuteronomy 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's your God, the Earth also with all that therein is.

Deuteronomy 10:15 Only the Lord had a delight in your fathers to love them and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people.(Deuteronomy 7:6), as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart and be no more stiffnecked.
Deuteronomy 30:5-8; Jeremiah 32:39; Ezekiel 11:19.
Deuteronomy 10:17 For the Lord your God is God of Gods and Lord of lords, a great mighty and terrible.(original implies, 'awesome in strength and power', 'fearful', 'causing great astonishment').God, who regards not persons, nor takes rewards.
You can't buy off God or bribe God for favors or by using false attitudes.
Deuteronomy 10:18,19.(what God is like; God's standard).He does execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow and loves the stranger in giving him food and raiment. Love you therefore the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
In other words, be like God is.
Deuteronomy 10:20,21 You shall fear the Lord your God. Him shall you serve and to him shall you cleave and swear by his name..(why?).He is your praise and he is your God that has done for you these great and terrible.(on word 'terrible', see verse 17 just above).things, which your eyes have seen. 

Deuteronomy 10:22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons and now the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Genesis 46:27.
