GRAGADAYJAH 518
By this time, Moses was ready to rehearse the law to the children
of Israel which was given to him to teach to them. At this time he was on the
side of the Jordan in the land of the Medianites, land he had possessed of
Sihon king of the Medianites and Og king of the Amorites from Aroer to Mount Sion
which is Hermon.
And Moses called all Israel together and addressed them and said:
“Hear O Israel
the statutes and ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may
learn them, and keep, and do them. The
Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
This was a covenant not made with our fathers, but with us who are all
here and alive this day. The Lord talked with you face to face, in the mount in
the midst of the fire. I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to show
you the words of the Lord, because you were afraid by reason of the fire and
went not up unto the mountain. And the Lord said to you, “I am the Lord your
God who brought you up out of the Land of Egypt out of the house of bondage.

Thou shall have no other gods before me;
2
Thou shall not make unto thee any carved image or any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or is in the
waters beneath the earth. Thou shall not bow down thyself to them or serve
them; for I the Lord your God and am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of that hate me,
and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments. More
