"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.
16
Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart; and don't be stiffnecked any longer!
17
For ADONAI your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty and awesome God, who has no favorites and accepts no bribes.
18
He secures justice for the orphan and the widow; he loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.
19
Therefore you are to love the foreigner, since you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20
You are to fear ADONAI your God, serve him, cling to him and swear by his name.
21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which you have seen with your own eyes.
22
Your ancestors went down into Egypt with only seventy people, but now ADONAI your God has made your numbers as many as the stars in the sky!
