37 And because he ⁿloved your fathers and chose their offspring after them¹ and brought you out of Egypt ^owith his own presence, by his great power, 38 driving out before you nations ^pgreater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, 39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. 40 Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, ^qthat it may go well with you and with your children after you, and ^rthat you may prolong your days in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
