28. “The Lord heard what you said and told me, ‘I heard what the people said. And that is fine.
29. I only wanted to change their way of thinking—I wanted them to respect me and obey all my commands from the heart. Then everything would be fine with them and with their descendants forever.
30. “‘Go and tell the people to go back to their tents,
31. but you stand here near me. I will tell you all the commands, laws, and rules that you must teach them. They must do these things in the land that I am giving them to live in.’
32. “So you people must be careful to do everything the Lord commanded you. Do not stop following God!
33. You must live the way the Lord your God commanded you. Then you will continue to live, and everything will be fine with you. You will live a long life in the land that will belong to you.
