1 I sent for all of the people of Israel. Here is what I said to them. Israel , listen to me. Here are the rules and laws I'm announcing to you today. Learn them well. Be sure to follow them.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Mount Horeb.
3 He didn't make it only with our parents. He also made it with us. In fact, he made it with all of us who are alive here today.
4 The Lord spoke to you face to face. His voice came out of the fire on the mountain.
5 At that time I stood between the Lord and you. I announced to you the Lord's message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn't go up the mountain. The Lord said,
6 "I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.
7 "Do not put any other gods in place of me.
