8 Write down copies and tie them to your wrists and foreheads to help you obey them.
9 Write these laws on the door frames of your homes and on your town gates.
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.
