Deuteronomy 10:12 - 11:9

10:12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God asking from you, except to revere Yahweh your God, to go in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
10:13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today for your own good.
10:14 Look! For to Yahweh your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
10:15 Yet to your ancestors Yahweh was very attached, so as to love them, and so he chose their offspring after them, namely you, from all the peoples, as it is today.
10:16 So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and do not be stubborn.
10:17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of the gods and Lord of the lords, the great and mighty God, the awesome one who is not partial, and he does not take bribes.
10:18 And he executes justice for the orphan and widow, and he is one who loves the alien, to give to them food and clothing.
10:19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
10:20 Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear.
10:21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done with you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen.
10:22 With only seventy persons your ancestors went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven with respect to multitude.
11:1 “And you shall love Yahweh your God, and you shall keep his obligations and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments always.
11:2 And you shall realize today that it is not with your children who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of Yahweh your God—his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm,
11:3 and his signs and his deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to all of his land,
11:4 and what he did to the army of Egypt and to their horses and to their chariots, and how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them, when they pursued after them, and so Yahweh has destroyed them, as is the case today,
11:5 and what he did to you in the desert until you came up to this place,
11:6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth wide and swallowed them, their households and their tents, and all of the living creatures that were in their possession and that were following along with them in the midst of all of Israel.
11:7 The fact of the matter is, your own eyes have seen all of the great deeds of Yahweh that he did.
11:8 “And you must keep all of the commandments that I am commanding you today, so that you may have strength and you may go and you may take possession of that land to which you are crossing to take possession of it,
11:9 so that you may live long on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to give it to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Gospel — Acts 7:17 - 7:34

LEB translation

Acts 7:17 - 7:34

7:17 “But as the time of the promise that God had made to Abraham was drawing near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt
7:18 until another king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
7:19 This man deceitfully took advantage of our people and mistreated our ancestors, causing them to abandon their infants so that they would not be kept alive.
7:20 At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God. He was brought up for three months in his father’s house,
7:21 and when he was abandoned, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and brought him up as her own son.
7:22 And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was powerful in his words and deeds.
7:23 “But when he was forty years old, it entered in his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
7:24 And when he saw one of them being unjustly harmed, he defended him and avenged the one who had been oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.
7:25 And he thought his brothers would understand that God was granting deliverance to them by his hand, but they did not understand.
7:26 And on the following day, he made an appearance to them while they were fighting and was attempting to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men and brothers, why are you doing wrong to one another?’
7:27 But the one who was doing wrong to his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us?
7:28 You do not want to do away with me the same way you did away with the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’
7:29 And at this statement, Moses fled and became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
7:30 “And when forty years had been completed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.
7:31 And when Moses saw it, he was astonished at the sight, and when he approached to look at it, the voice of the Lord came:
7:32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob!’ So Moses began trembling and did not dare to look at it.
7:33 And the Lord said to him, ‘Untie the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.
7:34 I have certainly seen the mistreatment of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
