Deuteronomy:4:3-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor :
for all the men that followed Baalpeor ,
the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you .
*
But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day .
*
Behold ,
I have taught you statutes and judgments ,
even as the LORD my God commanded me ,
that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it .
*
Keep therefore and do them ;
for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations ,
which shall hear all these statutes ,
and say ,
Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people .
*
For what nation is there so great ,
who hath God so nigh unto them ,
as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for ?
*
And what nation is there so great ,
that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law ,
which I set before you this day ?
*
Only take heed to thyself ,
and keep thy soul diligently ,
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen ,
and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life :
but teach them thy sons ,
and thy sons '
sons ;
*
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb ,
when the LORD said unto me ,
Gather me the people together ,
and I will make them hear my words ,
that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth ,
and that they may teach their children .
*
And ye came near and stood under the mountain ;
and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven ,
with darkness ,
clouds ,
and thick darkness .
