12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God askingm from you, exceptn to revere Yahweh your God, to goo in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,p 13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today ⌊for your own good⌋.q 14 Look! For to Yahweh your God ⌊belong⌋r heaven and the ⌊highest heavens⌋,s the earth and all that is in it. 15 ⌊Yet⌋t to your ancestorsu Yahweh was very attached, so as to love them, and so he chose their offspring after them, namely you, from all the peoples, as it is ⌊today⌋.v 16 So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and ⌊do not be stubborn⌋.w 17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of the gods and Lord of the lords, the great and mighty God, the awesome one who ⌊is not partial⌋,x and he does not take bribes. 18 And he executes justice for the orphan and widow, and he is one who loves the alien, to give to them food and clothing. 19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. 20 Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear. 21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done with you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen. 22 With only seventy persons your ancestorsy went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven ⌊with respect to multitude⌋.z
