Deuteronomy 7:4-6
If you do, those people will turn your children away from serving the Lord. Then your children will serve other gods. The Lord will be very angry with you. He will quickly destroy you.So here is what you must do to those people. Break down their altars. Smash their sacred stones. Cut down the poles they use to worship the female god named Asherah. Burn the statues of their gods in the fire.You are a holy nation. The Lord your God has set you apart for himself. He has chosen you to be his special treasure. He chose you out of all the nations on the face of the earth to be his people.

Psalms 19:7-11
The law of the Lord is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the Lord can be trusted. They make childish people wise.The rules of the Lord are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the Lord shine brightly. They give light to our minds.The law that brings respect for the Lord is pure. It lasts forever. The commands the Lord gives are true. All of them are completely right.They are more priceless than gold. They have greater value than huge amounts of pure gold. They are sweeter than honey that is taken from the honeycomb.Your servant is warned by them. When people obey them, they are greatly rewarded.

Deuteronomy 10:1-12
At that time the Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Carve out two stone tablets, just like the first ones. Then come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you must put the tablets in the ark.”So I made the ark out of acacia wood. I carved out two stone tablets that were just like the first ones. I went up the mountain. I carried the two tablets in my hands.The Lord wrote on the tablets what he had written before. It was the Ten Commandments. He had announced them to you out of the fire on the mountain. It was on the day you had gathered together there. So the Lord gave the tablets to me.Then I came back down the mountain. I put the tablets in the ark I had made, just as the Lord had commanded me. And that’s where they are now.Remember how the Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah. That’s where Aaron died. And his body was buried there. His son Eleazar became the next priest after him.From Moserah the people traveled to Gudgodah. Then they went on to Jotbathah. That land has streams of water.At that time the Lord set the tribe of Levi apart. He appointed them to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord. He wanted them to serve him. He told them to bless the people in his name. And they still do it today.That’s why the Levites don’t have any part of the land the Lord gave the other tribes in Israel. They don’t have any share among them. The Lord himself is their share. That’s what the Lord your God told them.I had stayed on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights, just as I did the first time. The Lord listened to me that time also. He didn’t want to destroy you.“ Go,” the Lord said to me.“ Lead the people on their way. Then they can enter the land and take it over. I have given my word. I promised I would give the land to their fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”And now, Israel, what is the Lord your God asking you to do? Honor him. Live exactly as he wants you to live. Love him. Serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
