No other nation, no matter how great, has laws so just as those that I have taught you today.

When he becomes king, he is to have a copy of the book of God's laws and teachings made from the original copy kept by the levitical priests.

He is to keep this book near him and read from it all his life, so that he will learn to honor the LORD and to obey faithfully everything that is commanded in it.

he said, "Be sure to obey all these commands that I have given you today. Repeat them to your children, so that they may faithfully obey all of God's teachings.
