Deuteronomy 26:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ I haven’t eaten any part of your sacred share while I mourned over someone who had died. I haven’t taken any of it from my house while I was ‘unclean.’ And I haven’t offered any of it to the dead. Lord my God, I’ve obeyed you. I’ve done everything you commanded me to do. ¹⁵ Look down from the holy place where you live in heaven. Bless your people Israel. Bless the land you have given us. It’s the land you promised to give to our people of long ago. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.”

Obey the Lord’s Commands

¹⁶ This day the Lord your God commands you to obey all these rules and laws. Be careful to obey them with all your heart and with all your soul.
