18 1-2 The Lord then told Moses to tell the people of Israel,
“I am Jehovah your God, 3 so don’t act like the heathen—like the people of Egypt where you lived so long, or the people of Canaan where I am going to take you. 4-5 You must obey only my laws, and you must carry them out in detail, for I am the Lord your God.
