The laws are to be read periodically

9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws on two scrolls and gave one scroll to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and gave the other scroll to the Israeli elders. 10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, read this to the people during the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. 11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him. 12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners who are living in your towns—in order that they may hear these laws and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws. 13 If they do that, your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan River to occupy.”
