Mosheh encourages Yisrael to obey

Deu 4:1–14

4“Now Yisrael, 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. 2Don’t add or subtract from what I tell you, because you all need to follow the instructions from your god Yahweh that I’m telling you.[ref] 3You’ve all seen for yourselves what your god Yahweh did at Beyt-Peor, when he destroyed all the men who worshipped Baal there.[ref] 4However, all of you who faithfully continued to follow your god Yahweh are alive here today.

5Listen, 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. 6Follow them faithfully because that will lead to wisdom such that people in other countries will notice that this great nation has wisdom and understanding. 7What 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? 8Also, what other nation has rules and regulations that are as sensible and fair as these instructions that I’m giving to you all today?

9But 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, 10including the day when you stood in our god Yahweh’s presence at Mt. Sinai (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.’

11So 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] 12Then Yahweh spoke to you from the middle of the flames—you heard the voice even though you couldn’t see anyone, 13and he revealed to you the agreement that he demands you keep: the ten commands that he wrote onto two stone tablets.[ref] 14At that time, Yahweh told me to teach you all the instructions and regulations so you’d be able to put them into practice in the land that you’re about to enter and occupy.[ref]

Rev 22:18-19:

22:18Farewell

18[ref]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 plagues written in this document. 19And 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:

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

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

6Just 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. 7When Pinehas (son of Eleazar, son of Aharon) saw that, he came out from among the gathered people, grabbed a spear, 8and 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 plague that had started against the Israelis. 9However,, twenty-four thousand people had already died from the plague.

Exo 19:16-18:

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


19:16: Rev 4:5.

Heb 12:18-19:

18You all haven’t come to what can be touched and to a blazing fire and to darkness and to gloom and to a storm (like Israelis encountered at Mt. Sinai)[ref] 19and to a trumpet blast and then God speaking a message. But when they heard him speaking, they pleaded for him not to say anything else to them,


12:18-19: Exo 19:16-22; 20:18-21; Deu 4:11-12; 5:22-27.

Exo 31:18:

18When Yahweh finished speaking to Mosheh, he gave Mosheh the two stone slabs with the transcript that he had engraved on them with his own finger.

34:28:

28Mosheh was there with Yahweh for forty days and nights, and during that time he didn’t eat or even drink water, and he wrote the ten commands of the agreement on the stone slabs.

Deu 9:10:

10Then Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets that had been written by God’s finger. They had the words spoken to you by Yahweh out from the fire on the mountain on the day of that assembly.

21These are the rules that you must present to them:
