Reminder of the Horeb Covenant

4:9 Again, however, pay very careful attention,13 lest you forget the things you have seen and disregard them for the rest of your life; instead teach them to your children and grandchildren. 4:10 You14 stood before the Lord your God at Horeb and he15 said to me, “Assemble the people before me so that I can tell them my commands.16 Then they will learn to revere me all the days they live in the land, and they will instruct their children.” 4:11 You approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, a mountain ablaze to the sky above it17 and yet dark with a thick cloud.18 4:12 Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard speech but you could not see anything—only a voice was heard.19 4:13 And he revealed to you the covenant20 he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments,21 writing them on two stone tablets. 4:14 Moreover, at that same time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess.22
