¹²And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

¹³And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

¹⁴Behold heaven is the Lord’s thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.

¹⁵And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.

¹⁶Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

¹⁷Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.

¹⁸He doth judgment to the fatherless and the widow, loveth the stranger, and giveth him food and raiment.

¹⁹And do you therefore love strangers, because you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

²⁰Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.

²¹He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.

²²In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.
