Deuteronomy 10:13

To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes

Deuteronomy 10:13 In-Context

11 Then ADONAI said to me, 'Get up, and go on your way at the head of the people, so that they can enter and take possession of the land I swore to their ancestors that I would give them.'
12 "So now, Isra'el, all that ADONAI your God asks from you is to fear ADONAI your God, follow all his ways, love him and serve ADONAI your God with all your heart and all your being;
13 to obey, for your own good, the mitzvot and regulations of ADONAI which I am giving you today.
14 See, the sky, the heaven beyond the sky, the earth and everything on it all belong to ADONAI your God.
15 Only ADONAI took enough pleasure in your ancestors to love them and choose their descendants after them -yourselves -above all peoples, as he still does today.
