And now, Israel, listen to the norms and laws that I teach that you may put into practice. And you will live, enter, and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, gives you.

See, as the Lord, my God, ordered me, I am teaching you the norms and the laws that you may put them into practice in the land you are going to enter and have as your own.

If you observe and practice them, other peoples will regard you as wise and intelligent. Knowing these laws, they will say, “There are no people as wise and intelligent as this great nation.”

For in truth, is there a nation as great as ours, whose gods are as near to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him?

But be careful and vigilant. Do not forget these things your eyes have seen, nor let them depart from your heart as long as you live. On the contrary, teach them to your children and your children’s children.

And is there a nation as great as ours whose norms and laws are as just as this law which I give you today?
