¹²“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you except to fear ^rthe Lord your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul? ^s¹³Keep the Lord’s commands and statutes I am giving you today, for your own good. ^t¹⁴The heavens, indeed the highest heavens, belong to the Lord your God, as does the earth and everything in it. ^u¹⁵Yet the Lord was devoted to your fathers and loved them. ^vHe chose their descendants after them—He chose you out of all the peoples, as it is today. ^w¹⁶Therefore, circumcise your hearts ^xand don’t be stiff-necked any longer. ¹⁷For the Lord your God is the God of gods ^yand Lord of lords, ^zthe great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe. ^a¹⁸He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing. ^b¹⁹You also must love the foreigner, since you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. ^c²⁰You are to fear Yahweh your God and worship Him. Remain faithful ^dto Him and take oaths in His name. ^e²¹He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome works your eyes have seen. ²²Your fathers went down to Egypt, 70 people in all, ^fand now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars of the sky. ^g
