Deuteronomy 5:30 In-Context

28 God heard what you said to me and told me, "I've heard what the people said to you. They're right - good and true words.
29 What I wouldn't give if they'd always feel this way, continuing to revere me and always keep all my commands; they'd have a good life forever, they and their children!
30 "Go ahead and tell them to go home to their tents.
31 But you, you stay here with me so I can tell you every commandment and all the rules and regulations that you must teach them so they'll know how to live in the land that I'm giving them as their own."
32 So be very careful to act exactly as God commands you. Don't veer off to the right or the left.
