New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 4:9-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but teach them to your sons, and your grandsons.

10. Especially concerning the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to me, “Gather the people together to Me, so that I will let them hear My words so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they shall live on the earth, and so that they may teach their children.”

11. Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire up to the midst of heaven, with darkness, a cloud, a thick cloud.

12. Then the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words but saw no form—only a voice was heard.

13. He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the Ten Commandments, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

14. The Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, so that you might do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess.
