Deuteronomy 5:28-33 New English Translation (NET)

28. When the Lord heard you speaking to me, he said to me, “I have heard what these people have said to you – they have spoken well.

29. If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey all my commandments in the future, so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever.

30. Go and tell them, ‘Return to your tents!’

31. But as for you, remain here with me so I can declare to you all the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that you are to teach them, so that they can carry them out in the land I am about to give them.”

32. Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

33. Walk just as he has commanded you so that you may live, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land you are going to possess.
