¹²And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God asking^m from you, exceptⁿ to revere Yahweh your God, to go^o in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,^p ¹³to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today for your own good.^q ¹⁴Look! For to Yahweh your God belong^r heaven and the highest heavens,^s the earth and all that is in it. ¹⁵Yet^t to your ancestors^u 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 ¹⁶So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and do not be stubborn.^w ¹⁷For 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. ¹⁸And he executes justice for the orphan and widow, and he is one who loves the alien, to give to them food and clothing. ¹⁹And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. ²⁰Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear. ²¹He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done with you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen. ²²With only seventy persons your ancestors^y went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven with respect to multitude.^z
