These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt,
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.
Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.
In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,
and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn,
“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’
You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
