Deuteronomy 4:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Look, I have taught you the ·laws [statutes; ordinances; requirements] and rules the Lord my God commanded me. Now you can obey the laws in the land you are entering, in the land you will ·take [possess]. ⁶ ·Obey these laws carefully [Keep/Guard and do/obey], in order to show the other nations that you have wisdom and ·understanding [discernment]. When they hear about these laws, they will say, “This great nation of Israel is wise and ·understanding [discerning].” ⁷ ·No [^LWhat…?] other nation is as great as we are. Their gods do not come near them, but the Lord our God comes near when we pray to him.
