BRAGADAYJAH
511
Having
recited the journeying and the errors of the old generation, Moses bid the new to
hearken unto the statutes and ordinances of the Lord which he was teaching
them, that they may go in and inherit the land.
He cautioned them not to add to or take away from the word of the Lord
their God that they may keep them as commanded.
Moses
reminded them that they had seen for themselves, what happened at Baal-peor to
all the men who had followed after Baal, pointing out that all the ones who
followed the Lord were still alive, whereas all those others were then dead.
Therefore,
Moses told the children of Israel, keep and do the Lord’s statutes; for by them
are your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations; for they shall
hear of these great statutes and they will say, surely, that nation get its
wisdom and understanding from keeping the ordinances and statutes of their God.
For
what nation is there so great and have a God as near unto them is this nation, a
God that they can call upon in all things. And what nation has statutes and
ordinances so just as this nation?
