Deuteronomy 5:31

29 If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.

30 Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’

But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”

32 So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.

33 You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
