Deuteronomy 4:9-14

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ “Only ^(A)keep yourself and keep your soul very carefully, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart ^(B)all the days of your life. But ^(C)make them known to your sons and to your grandsons. ¹⁰ Remember the day you stood before Yahweh your God at Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, ‘Assemble the people to Me, that I may cause them to hear My words ^(D)so they may learn to ^[a]fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may ^(E)teach their children.’ ¹¹ And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, ^(F)and the mountain burned with fire to the very heart of the heavens: darkness, cloud, and dense gloom. ¹² Then Yahweh spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form—only a voice. ¹³ So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to do, that is, ^(G)the Ten ^[b]Commandments; and ^(H)He wrote them on two tablets of stone. ¹⁴ And Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land where you are going over to possess it.
