Deuteronomy 4:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Israel Must Obey God

Moses said:

4 Israel, listen to these laws and teachings! If you obey them, you will live, and you will go in and take the land that the Lord is giving you. He is the God your ancestors worshiped, ^2 (A) and now he is your God. I am telling you everything he has commanded, so don't add anything or take anything away.

^3 (B) You saw how he killed everyone who worshiped the god Baal Peor.^[a]
