"Israel, remember this! The LORD ---and the LORD alone---is our God.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Never forget these commands that I am giving you today.
Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are
away, when you are resting and when you are working. Deu 6:4-7


"Teacher," he asked, "which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' Mat 22:36 -37

Deutoronomy 5

'The LORD our God showed us his greatness and his glory when we heard him speak from the fire! Today we have seen that it is possible for people to continue to live, even though God has spoken to them. But why should we risk death again? That terrible fire will destroy us. We are sure to die if we hear the LORD our God speak again.
Has any human being ever lived after hearing the living God speak from a fire?
Go back, Moses, and listen to everything that the LORD our God says. Then return and tell us what he said to you. We will listen and obey.'
"When the LORD heard this, he said to me, 'I have heard what these people said, and they are right.

Deu 5:24-28

Deuteronomy 4

There you will look for the LORD your God, and if you search for him with all your heart, you will find him. When you are in trouble and all those things happen to you, then you will finally turn to the LORD and obey him. He is a merciful God. He will not abandon you or destroy you, and he will not forget the covenant that he himself made with your ancestors.

"Search the past, the time before you were born, all the way back to the time when God created human beings on the earth. Search the entire earth. Has anything as great as this ever happened before? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Deu 4:29-32

Deuteronomy 3

'Sovereign LORD, I know that you have shown me only the beginning of the great and wonderful things you are going to do. There is no god in heaven or on earth who can do the mighty things that you have done! Deu 3:24

With God’s help the Israelites defeated the King of Bashan, Og. The defeated kingdom is then divided to the two tribes and a half. God only allowed Moses to see the Land; he is not allowed to enter it.

Instead, he said, 'That's enough! Don't mention this again!

Go to the peak of Mount Pisgah and look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west. Look carefully at what you see, because you will never go across the Jordan.
Give Joshua his instructions. Strengthen his determination, because he will lead the people across to occupy the land that you see.' Deu 3:27-28

Deuteronomy 2

"Remember how the LORD your God has blessed you in everything that you have done. He has taken care of you as you wandered through this vast desert. He has been with you these forty years, and you have had everything you needed. Deu 2:7


This is God’s reminder to the Israelites as they pass other kingdoms and territories. It is a reminder for the Israelites not to make war for plunder.
