1. Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, gives you.
2. You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3. Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, the Lord your God has destroyed them from amongst you.
4. But you who were faithful to the Lord your God are all alive today.
