⁵ On this side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying,

⁴⁶ and he said to them: ^(A)“Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your ^(B)children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law.

The Law to Be Read Every Seven Years

⁹ So Moses wrote this law ^(A)and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, ^(B)who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.

¹⁸ “Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one ^(A)before the priests, the Levites. ¹⁹ And ^(B)it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes,

⁸ And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?
