44Now this is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel; 45these are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out from Egypt, 46across the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel defeated when they came out from Egypt. 47They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan to the east, 48from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon), 49with all the Arabah across the Jordan to the east, even as far as the sea of the Arabah, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah. D.5:1, Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: “HEAR, O ISRAEL, the statutes and the ordinances which I am speaking today in your hearing, that you may learn them and observe them carefully. 2“He who is our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3“He who is did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, with all those of us alive here today. 4“He who is spoke to you face to face at the mountain from the midst of the fire, 5while I was standing between he who is and you at that time, to declare to you the word of he who is; for you were afraid because of the fire and did not go up the mountain. He said,
6‘I 6‘'''I AM ''' is he who is your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 7‘You shall have no other gods before Me.
8‘You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 9‘You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, he who is your God, am a possessive God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
