4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.
Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:
And now give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I am teaching you, and do them; so that life may be yours, and you may go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.
So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
