God may talk with a man and he yet live. And now wherefore should we
die that this great fire should consume us: If we should hear the voice
of the LORD our God any more, we should die. For what is any flesh that
he should hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire as
we have done and should yet live: Go thou and hear all that the LORD
our God sayeth, and tell thou unto us all that the LORD our God sayeth
unto thee, and we will hear it and do it. And the LORD heard the voice
of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me: I have heard
the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee,
they have well said all that they have said. Oh that they had such an
heart with them to fear me and keep all my commandments alway, that it
might go well with them and with their children for ever. Go and say
unto them: get you into your tents again, but stond thou here before me
and I will tell thee all the commandments, ordinances and laws which
thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give
them to possess. Take heed therefore that ye do as the LORD your God
hath commanded you, and turn not aside: either to the right hand or to
the left: but walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath
commanded you, that ye may live and that it may go well with you and
that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

prolonged. Hear therefore Israel and take heed that thou do thereafter,
that it may go well with thee and that ye may increase mightily: even
as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, a land that floweth
with milk and honey. Hear Israel, the LORD thy God is LORD onely, and
thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, with all thy
soul and with all thy might. And these words which I command thee this
day, shall be in thine heart and thou shalt whet them on thy children,
and shalt talk of them when thou art at home in thine house and as thou
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up:
and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand. And they shall be
papers of remembrance between thine eyes, and shalt write them upon the
posts of thy house and upon thy gates. And when the LORD thy God hath
brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers Abraham,
Isaac and Iacob, to give thee with great and goodly cities which thou
buildest not, and houses full of all manner goods which thou filledst
not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, and vines and olive
trees which thou planted not, and when thou hast eaten, and art full:
