◄ Deuteronomy 4 ► New American Standard Bible Par ▾ Israel Urged to Obey God’s Law 1“Now , Israel , listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to perform , so that you will live and go in and take possession of the land which the LORD , the God of your fathers , is giving you. 3Your eyes have seen what the LORD has done in the case of Baal-peor , for all the men who followed Baal-peor , the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you. 4But you who clung to the LORD your God are alive today , every one of you. 7For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the LORD our God whenever we call on Him? 8Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole Law which I am setting before you today ?
