10. “I stayed on the mountain like the first time—40 days and 40 nights. Adonai listened to me that time also and was not willing to destroy you.
11. Adonai said to me, ‘Rise up, go, journey ahead of the people so that they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.’
12. “So now, O Israel, what does Adonai your God require of you, but to fear Adonai your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13. to keep the mitzvot of Adonai and His statutes that I am commanding you today, for your own good?
14. Behold, to Adonai your God belong the heavens and the highest of heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
15. Only on your fathers did Adonai set His affection to love them, and He chose their descendants after them—you—from all the peoples, as is the case this day.
16. “Circumcise the foreskin of your heart therefore, and do not be stiff-necked anymore.
17. For Adonai your God is God of gods and Lord of lords —the great, mighty and awesome God, who does not show partiality or take a bribe.
