³¹ When Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and believed^(A) in him and in his servant Moses.

² Do this so that you may fear^(A) the Lord your God^(B) all the days of your life^(C) by keeping all his statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life.^(D)

What God Requires

¹² “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you except to fear^(A) the Lord your God by walking in all his ways, to love him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul?^(B)

²³ You are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and fresh oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, in the presence of the Lord your God at the place where he chooses to have his name dwell,^(A) so that you will always learn to fear^(B) the Lord your God.

¹² Gather the people—men, women, dependents, and the resident aliens within your city gates—so that they may listen and learn to fear^(A) the Lord your God and be careful to follow all the words of this law. ¹³ Then their children^(B) who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
