1The Lord told me to give you these laws and teachings, so you can obey them in the land he is giving you. Soon you will cross the Jordan River and take that land.
2And if you and your descendants want to live a long time, you must always worship the Lord and obey his laws.
3Pay attention, Israel! Our ancestors worshiped the Lord, and he promised to give us this land that is rich with milk and honey. Be careful to obey him, and you will become a successful and powerful nation.

5 that you didn't have to dig, and vineyards and olive orchards that you didn't have to plant. But when you have eaten so much that you can't eat any more,
12don't forget it was the Lord who set you free from slavery and brought you out of Egypt.
13
17Always obey the laws that the Lord has given you
18-19and live in a way that pleases him. Then you will be able to go in and take this good land from your enemies, just as he promised your ancestors.
20Someday your children will ask, “Why did the Lord give us these laws and teachings?”
21Then you will answer:
We were slaves of the king of Egypt, but the Lord used his great power and set us free.
22We saw him perform miracles and make horrible things happen to the king, his officials, and everyone else.
23The Lord rescued us from Egypt, so he could bring us into this land, as he had promised our ancestors.
24-25That's why the Lord our God demands that we obey his laws and worship him with fear and trembling. And if we do, he will protect us and help us be successful.
