Mosheh encourages Yisrael to obey

Deu 4:1–14

4 “Now Yisrael (Israel), listen to the instructions and regulations that I’ll teach you so that you’ll all go and possess the land that Yahweh, the god of your ancestors, is giving you, and live there. 2 Don’t add or subtract from what I tell you,[ref] because you all need to follow the instructions from your god Yahweh that I’m telling you. 3 You’ve all seen for yourselves what your god Yahweh did at Beyt-Pe’or, when he destroyed all the men who worshipped Ba’al there.[ref] 4 However, all of you who faithfully continued to follow your god Yahweh are alive here today.

5 “Listen, I’ve taught you all the instructions and regulations that my god Yahweh commanded me to, for you all to follow in the land that you’re about to enter and occupy. 6 Follow them faithfully because that will lead to wisdom such that people in other countries will notice that this great nation has wisdom and understanding. 7 What other great nation is there that has a god near to it like our god Yahweh is whenever we call out to him for help? 8 Also, what other nation has rules and regulations that are as sensible and fair as these instructions that I’m giving to you all today?

9 “But each of you must take care to guard yourself and your values in case you forget that you’ve seen and those past miracles slip from your minds over the years to come. Yes, make sure that you teach them to your children and your grand-children, 10 including the day when you stood in our god Yahweh’s presence at Mt. Sinay (Horev) when he told me, ‘Assemble the people for me, and I’ll make it so they can hear my words, so they’ll learn to honour and respect for their entire lifetimes, and then teach it to their children.’

11 “So you all approached the mountain and stood at its base while it blazed with fire that went up into the atmosphere even though the mountain was covered with dark, gloomy clouds.[ref] 12 Then Yahweh spoke to you from the middle of the flames—you heard the voice even though you couldn’t see anyone, 13 and he revealed to you the agreement that he demands you keep: the ten commands that he wrote onto two stone tablets.[ref] 14 At that time, Yahweh told me to teach you all the instructions and regulations[ref] so you’d be able to put them into practice in the land that you’re about to enter and occupy.

22:18 Farewell

18 I am testifying to everyone who hears the prophecies written in this document: If anyone adds to these words, then God will add to them the disasters written in this document.[ref] 19 And if anyone takes away any of this prophetic document, then God will take away their share in the tree of life and in the holy city that’s written about in this document.

22:18-19: Deu 4:2; 12:32.

Num 25:1-9:

25 Meanwhile, the Israelis settled down at Shitim, and their men started sleeping with women from Moav (Moab) 2 who then invited them to sacrifices to their idols. So the Israelis bowed down to the idols and ate at the feasts, 3 and when Yisrael (Israel) consecrated themselves to Ba’al-Pe’or, Yahweh’s anger burnt towards them. 4 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), “Execute all the people’s leaders and display their bodies in broad daylight, and then Yahweh’s anger might turn back away from Yisrael.”

5 So Mosheh to Yisrael’s judges, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined others to serve Ba’al-Pe’or.”

6 ⇔Just then, unbelievably, an Israeli man came past Mosheh and all the people who were there outside the sacred tent weeping, and he was bringing a Midyanite woman with him. 7 When Pinhas (son of Eleazar, son of Aharon (Aaron)) saw that, he came out from among the gathered people, grabbed a spear, 8 and followed the Israeli man into his tent. He plunged the spear through the two of them—right through the man and the woman’s belly, and thus, stopped the deadly disease that had started against the Israelis. 9 However, twenty-four thousand people had already died from that plague.

Exo 19:16-18:

16 So on the morning of the third day, there was thunder and lightning[ref] and a thick cloud on the mountain, and an extremely loud horn blast, and all the people in the camp were trembling. 17 Then Mosheh led the people out of the camp to go and meet God, and they stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain. 18 Yahweh descended onto Mt. Sinay surrounded by fire and the entire mountain smoked. Its smoke went up like the smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently.
