1 “Now, Israel, listen to the laws and to the commands that I teach you. Obey them and you will live. Then you can go in and take the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.
2 You must not add to what I command you. And you must not take anything away. You must obey the commands of the Lord your God that I have given you.
3 “You have seen what the Lord did at Baal Peor. The Lord your God destroyed all your people who followed the false god Baal at that place.
4 But all of you who stayed with the Lord your God are alive today.
