8 No other nation, no matter how great, has laws so just as those that I have taught you today.
9 Be on your guard! Make certain that you do not forget, as long as you live, what you have seen with your own eyes. Tell your children and your grandchildren
10 about the day you stood in the presence of the Lord your God at Mount Sinai, when he said to me, ‘Assemble the people. I want them to hear what I have to say, so that they will learn to obey me as long as they live and so that they will teach their children to do the same.’
11 “Tell your children how you went and stood at the foot of the mountain which was covered with thick clouds of dark smoke and fire blazing up to the sky.
12 Tell them how the Lord spoke to you from the fire, how you heard him speaking but did not see him in any form at all.
13 He told you what you must do to keep the covenant he made with you — you must obey the Ten Commandments, which he wrote on two stone tablets.
14 The Lord told me to teach you all the laws that you are to obey in the land that you are about to invade and occupy.
