Deuteronomy 10:10-20

10 And I taried in the mount, eue as at the first tyme .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes and the Lorde herkened vnto me at that tyme also, so that the Lorde wolde not destroye the.

11 And the Lorde sayed vnto me: vpp ad goo forth in the iurney before the people and let them goo in ad conquere the lond which I sware vnto their fathers to geue vnto them.

12 And now Israel what is it that the Lord thi God requyreth of the, but to feare the Lord thi God and to walke in all his wayes and to loue him and to serue the Lorde thy God with all thyne herte and with all thy soule,

13 that thou kepe the commaundmentes of the Lorde ad his ordinaunces which I commaunde the this daye, for thy welth.

14 Beholde, heauen and the heauen of heauens is the Lordes thy god, and the erth with all that therein is:

15 only the Lorde had a lust vnto thy fathers to loue them, and therfore chose you theire seed after them off all nacyons, as it is come to passe this daye.

16 Circumcyse therfore the foreskynne of youre hartes, and be no longer sciffnecked.

17 For the Lorde youre God, he is God of goddes and lorde of lordes, a greate God, a myghtye and a terreble which regardeth no mans person nor taketh giftes:

18 but doeth right vnto the fatherlesse and wedowe and loueth the straunger, to geue him fode and rayment.

19 Loue therfore the straunger, for ye were straungers youre selues in the londe of Egipte.

20 Thou shalt feare the Lorde thi God and serue him and cleaue vnto him ad swere by his name,
