28 The Lord heard your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me: "I have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you; they are right in all that they have spoken.
29 If only they had such a mind as this, to fear me and to keep all my commandments always, so that it might go well with them and with their children forever!
30 Go say to them, "Return to your tents.'
31 But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, the statutes and the ordinances, that you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land that I am giving them to possess."
32 You must therefore be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn to the right or to the left.
