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

It was after they had come out of Egypt and were in the valley east of the Jordan River, opposite the town of Bethpeor, that he gave them these laws. This was in the territory that had belonged to King Sihon of the Amorites, who had ruled in the town of Heshbon. Moses and the people of Israel defeated him when they came out of Egypt.

Moses called together all the people of Israel and said to them, "People of Israel, listen to all the laws that I am giving you today. Learn them and be sure that you obey them.

"These are all the laws that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. Obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.

As long as you live, you and your descendants are to honor the LORD your God and obey all his laws that I am giving you, so that you may live in that land a long time.

"Obey faithfully all the laws that I have given you today, so that you may live, increase in number, and occupy the land that the LORD promised to your ancestors.

"Love the LORD your God and always obey all his laws.

be sure to obey all the laws that I am giving you today.

Obey all my laws and commands. I am the LORD."

Obey my laws, because I am the LORD and I make you holy."

The LORD said, "Obey my commands; I am the LORD.

so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the LORD!

LORD, you have given us your laws and told us to obey them faithfully.

Then they will keep my laws and faithfully obey all my commands. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

I will put my spirit in you and will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you.

A king like my servant David will be their king. They will all be united under one ruler and will obey my laws faithfully.

and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."

They both lived good lives in God's sight and obeyed fully all the Lord's laws and commands.

And you are my friends if you do what I command you.

Follow the practices and the laws that I give you; you will save your life by doing so. I am the LORD."

I gave them my commands and taught them my laws, which bring life to anyone who obeys them.

"But that generation also defied me. They broke my laws and did not keep my commands, which bring life to anyone who obeys them. They profaned the Sabbath. I was ready to let them feel the force of my anger there in the desert and to kill them all.

Moses wrote this about being put right with God by obeying the Law: "Whoever obeys the commands of the Law will live."
