There He ^(B)made a statute and an ^[a]ordinance for them, and there ^(C)He tested them,

² And you shall remember that the Lord your God ^(A)led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and ^(B)test you, ^(C)to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

⁴ And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to ^[a]know whether they would obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

²² so ^(A)that through them I may ^(B)test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the Lord, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not.”
