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.”

So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—

See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—

…a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,

…be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.
