Deuteronomy 5:22-33 ▼

22 These words YHWH spoke to all your? assembly in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, in a loud voice. And He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23 And it came to pass when you? heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and while the mountain was burning with the fire, that you? came near to me—all the heads of your? tribes and your? elders,

24 and you? said, “Surely YHWH our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen that God speaks with man, and he has lived.

25 And now why should we die? For this great fire will consume us if we add to hear the voice of YHWH our God anymore, and we shall die.

26 For who of all flesh is he who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we, and lived?

27 Draw near, you, and hear all that YHWH our God may say. And you tell to us all that YHWH our God says to you, and we will listen and do it.”

28 And YHWH heard the voice of your? words when you? spoke to me, and YHWH said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people that they have spoken to you. They are right in all that they have spoken.

29 O that their heart had been given thus, to fear Me and to keep all My commandments all the days, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever!

30 Go and say to them, ‘Return to your? tents.’

31 And you, stand here by Me and I will speak to you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances that you shall teach them, and they will do them in the land that I am giving to them to possess.”

32 And you? shall take heed to do as YHWH your? God has commanded you?; you? shall not turn aside to the right or to the left.

33 In all the ways that YHWH your? God has commanded you?, you? shall walk, so that you? may live, and that it may be well with you?, and that you? may prolong your days in the land that you? shall possess.
