10. The Lord promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give you this land. Now he will take you there and give you large towns, with good buildings that you didn't build,
11. and houses full of good things that you didn't put there. The Lord will give you wells that you didn't have to dig, and vineyards and olive orchards that you didn't have to plant. But when you have eaten so much that you can't eat any more,
12. don't forget it was the Lord who set you free from slavery and brought you out of Egypt.
13. Worship and obey the Lord your God with fear and trembling, and promise that you will be loyal to him.
14. Don't have anything to do with gods that are worshipped by the nations around you.
15. If you worship other gods, the Lord will be furious and wipe you off the face of the earth. The Lord your God is with you,
16. so don't try to make him prove that he can help you, as you did at Massah.
17. Always obey the laws that the Lord has given you
18-19. and live in a way that pleases him. Then you will be able to go in and take this good land from your enemies, just as he promised your ancestors.
20. Some day your children will ask, “Why did the Lord give us these laws and teachings?”
21. Then you will answer:We were slaves of the king of Egypt, but the Lord used his great power and set us free.
22. We saw him perform miracles and make horrible things happen to the king, his officials, and everyone else.
23. The Lord rescued us from Egypt, so he could bring us into this land, as he had promised our ancestors.
24-25. That's why the Lord our God demands that we obey his laws and worship him with fear and trembling. And if we do, he will protect us and help us be successful.
