Love and Serve Yahweh

11 “You shall therefore (A)love Yahweh your God, and (B)keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments all your days. So know this day (C)that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the [a]discipline of Yahweh your God—His greatness, His strong hand and His outstretched arm, and (D)His signs and His works which He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land; and what He did to Egypt’s army, to its horses and its chariots, (E)when He made the water of the [b]Red Sea to [c]engulf them while they were pursuing you, and Yahweh made them perish [d]utterly; and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place; and (F)what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and (G)every living thing that [e]followed them, among all Israel— but your own eyes have seen all the great work of Yahweh which He did.

11 Love the Lord your God and always carry out his requirements, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments.

Know this today! I am not addressing your children, who have not known and seen all these things:

the discipline of the Lord your God;
his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm;
his signs and his deeds that he performed in Egypt
    against Pharaoh king of Egypt and against all his land;
what he did to the army of Egypt and its horses and chariots;
how he caused the water of the Red Sea to flow over their heads
    when they pursued you;
how the Lord has destroyed them to this day;
what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben;
how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them
with their households, their tents,
and every living thing that was at their feet,
in the middle of all Israel.

Know today it is your own eyes that have seen every deed that the Lord your God performed.
