Deuteronomy 10:12-22
12Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
14Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
15Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
16Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn`t regard persons, nor takes reward.
18He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in giving him food and clothing.
19Love you therefore the sojourner; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
20You shall fear Yahweh your God; him shall you serve; and to him shall you cleave, and by his name shall you swear.
21He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.
22Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
