¹⁹ For I have ^[a](A)known him, so that he may ^(B)command his children and his household after him, ^(C)that they keep the way of Yahweh to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham ^(D)what He has spoken about him.”

⁵ So now then, ^(A)if you will indeed listen to My voice and ^(B)keep My covenant, then you shall be ^(C)My treasured possession among all the peoples, for ^(D)all the earth is Mine; ⁶ and you shall be to Me ^(E)a kingdom of priests and ^(F)a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”

³² “Indeed, ^(A)ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the ^(B)day that God created ^[a]man on the earth, and inquire ^(C)from one end of the heavens to the other. ^(D)Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it? ^33 (E)Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and lived? ^34 (F)Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation ^(G)with trials, with signs and wonders and with war and ^(H)with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terrors, ^[b]as Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? ³⁵ To you it was shown that you might know that Yahweh, He is God; ^(I)there is no other besides Him. ^36 (J)Out of the heavens He caused you to hear His voice ^(K)to discipline you; and on earth He caused you to see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire. ^37 [c](L)Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them. And He ^[d](M)personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,

⁶ For you are ^(A)a holy people to Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be ^(B)a people for His ^[a]own treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the ^[b]earth.
