1 Moses called all the people of Israel together and said: Listen, Israel, to the commands and laws I give you today. Learn them and obey them carefully.
2 The Lord our God made an agreement with us at Mount Sinai.
3 He did not make this agreement with our ancestors. He made it with us. He made it with all of us who are alive here today.
4 The Lord spoke to you face to face. He spoke from the fire on the mountain.
5 (At that time I stood between you and the Lord. I told you what the Lord said. You were afraid of the fire. So you would not go up on the mountain.) The Lord said:
6 “I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves.
7 “You must not have any other gods except me.
