Dt. 6:21-23 The
Greatest
Commandment
21
then you shall say to your son, yWe
were Pharaohs slaves in Egypt. And
the Lord brought us out of Egypt with
a mighty hand. 22 And zthe Lord
showed signs and wonders, great and
grievous, against Egypt and against
Pharaoh and all his household, before
our eyes. 23 And he brought us out
from there,that he might bring us in
and give us the land that he swore to
give to our fathers.
Dt. 26:2-13 Offerings
of Firstfruits
2w
you shall take some of the first of all
the fruit of the ground, which you
harvest from your land that the Lord
your God is giving you, and you shall
put it in a basket, and you shall xgo to
the place that the Lord your God will
choose, to make his name to dwell
there. 3 And you shall go to the priest
who is in office at that time and say to
him, I declare today to the Lord your
God that I have come into the land
y
that the Lord swore to our fathers to
give us. 4 Then the priest shall take
the basket from your hand and set it
down before the altar of the Lord your
God.
5
And you shall make response
before the Lord your God, A
z
wandering Aramean was my father.
And he went down into Egypt and
sojourned there, afew in number, and
there he became a nation, great,
mighty, and populous. 6 And bthe
Egyptians treated us harshly and
humiliated us and laid on us hard
labor. 7 Then cwe cried to the Lord, the
God of our fathers, and the Lord heard
our voice and saw our affliction, our
toil, and our oppression. 8 And dthe
Lord brought us out of Egypt ewith a
mighty hand and an outstretched arm,
with great deeds of terror,1 with signs
and wonders. 9 And he brought us into
this place and gave us this land, fa
land flowing with milk and honey.
10
And behold, now I bring the first of
the fruit of the ground, which you, O
Lord, have given me. And you shall
set it down before the Lord your God
and worship before the Lord your
God. 11 And gyou shall rejoice in all the
good that the Lord your God has given
to you and to your house, you, and the
Levite, and the sojourner who is
among you.
12
When you have finished paying all
h
the tithe of your produce in the third
year, which is ithe year of tithing,
giving it to the Levite, the sojourner,
the fatherless, and the widow, so that
they may eat within your towns and be
filled, 13 then you shall say before the
Lord your God, I have removed the
sacred portion out of my house, and
moreover, I have given it to the Levite,
the sojourner, the fatherless, and the
widow, according to all your
commandment that you have
commanded me. I have not
transgressed any of your
commandments, jnor have I forgotten
them.

Jos 24:2-13 The
Covenant Renewal at
Shechem
2
And Joshua said to all the people,
Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel,
Long ago, fyour fathers lived beyond
the Euphrates,1 Terah, the father of
Abraham and of Nahor; and gthey
served other gods. 3 hThen I took your
father Abraham from beyond the
River* and iled him through all the land
of Canaan, and made his offspring
many. jI gave him Isaac. 4 And to Isaac
I gave kJacob and Esau. lAnd I gave
Esau the hill country of Seir to
possess, mbut Jacob and his children
went down to Egypt. 5 nAnd I sent
Moses and Aaron, oand I plagued
Egypt with what I did in the midst of it,
and pafterward I brought you out.
6
Then pI brought your fathers out of
Egypt, and qyou came to the sea. rAnd
the Egyptians pursued your fathers
with chariots and horsemen to the
Red Sea. 7 sAnd when they cried to the
Lord, the put darkness between you
and the Egyptians uand made the sea
come upon them and cover them;
v
and your eyes saw what I did in
Egypt. wAnd you lived in the
wilderness a long time. 8 Then I
brought you to the land of the
Amorites, who lived on the other side
of the Jordan. xThey fought with you,
and I gave them into your hand, and
you took possession of their land, and
I destroyed them before you. 9 yThen
Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab,
arose and fought against Israel. zAnd
he sent and invited Balaam the son of
Beor to curse you, 10 abut I would not
listen to Balaam. aIndeed, he blessed
you. So I delivered you out of his
hand. 11 bAnd you went over the
Jordan and came to Jericho, cand the
leaders of Jericho fought against you,
and also cthe Amorites, the Perizzites,
the Canaanites, the Hittites, the
Girgashites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites. And I gave them into your
hand. 12 And I sent dthe hornet before
you, which drove them out before you,
the two kings of the Amorites; it was
e
not by your sword or by your bow. 13 I
gave you a land on which you had not
labored fand cities that you had not
built, and you dwell in them. You eat
the fruit of vineyards and olive
orchards that you did not plant.
Lev 26:4-13 Blessings
for Obedience
4
then yI will give you your rains in their
season, and the land shall yield its
increase, and the trees of the field
shall yield their fruit. 5 zYour threshing
shall last to the time of the grape
harvest, and the grape harvest shall
last to the time for sowing. And ayou
shall eat your bread to the full and
b
dwell in your land securely. 6 cI will
give peace in the land, and dyou shall
lie down, and none shall make you
afraid. And eI will remove harmful
beasts from the land, fand the sword
shall not go through your land. 7 You
shall chase your enemies, and they
shall fall before you by the sword.
8g
Five of you shall chase a hundred,
and a hundred of you shall chase ten
before you by the sword. 9 hI will turn to
you and imake you fruitful and multiply
you and will confirm my covenant with
you. 10 You shall eat jold store long
kept, and you shall clear out the old to
make way for the new. 11 kI will make
my dwelling1 among you, and my soul
shall not abhor you. 12 lAnd I mwill walk
among you and will be your God, and
you shall be my people. 13 nI am the
Lord your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, that you should
not be their slaves. oAnd I have
broken the bars of your yoke and
made you walk erect.

And all these blessings shall come
upon you and sovertake you, if you

Ps 105 Tell of All His
Wondrous Works
t
Oh give thanks to the Lord; ucall upon
his name;vmake known his deeds
among the peoples! 2 Sing to him, sing
praises to him;wtell of all his wondrous
works!3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the
Lord rejoice!4 Seek the Lord and his
x y
strength; seek his presence
5
continually! Remember the
z
wondrous works that he has done, his
miracles, and athe judgments he
uttered,6 O offspring of bAbraham, his
servant, children of Jacob, his cchosen
ones7 He is the Lord our God; his
d
judgments are in all the earth.He
e
remembers his covenant forever,the
word that he commanded, for fa
thousand generations, the covenant
that he made with Abraham, his
h
sworn promise to Isaac,10 which he
confirmed to iJacob as a statute,to Bo
Israel as an everlasting covenant,11
j
saying, To you I will give the land of
Canaan as kyour portion for an
inheritance.12 When they were lfew in
number,of little account, and
m
sojourners in it,13 wandering from
nation to nation,from one kingdom to
another people,14 he nallowed no one
to oppress them;he orebuked kings on
their account,15 saying, pTouch not
my anointed ones,do my prophets no
harm!16 When he qsummoned a
famine on the land and rbroke all
supply1 of bread,23 Then aIsrael came
to Egypt; Jacob bsojourned in cthe land
of Ham.24 And the Lord dmade his
people very fruitful and made them
stronger than their foes.25 He eturned
their hearts to hate his people, to fdeal
craftily with his servants. 26 He gsent
Moses, his servant, and Aaron, hwhom
he had chosen. 27 iThey performed his
signs among them and miracles in
c
the land of Ham.28 He jsent darkness,
and made the land dark; they kdid not
rebel3 against his words.29 He turned
their waters into blood and lcaused
their fish to die.Their land swarmed
with frogs, even in mthe chambers of
their kings.31 He spoke, and there
came nswarms of flies, oand gnats
throughout their country.32 He gave
them hail for rain, and fiery plightning
bolts through their land. 33 He struck
down their vines and fig trees and
q
shattered the trees of their country.34
He spoke, and the rlocusts came
young locusts without number,35 which
devoured all the vegetation in their
22
land and ate up the fruit of their
ground.36 He sstruck down all the
firstborn in their land sthe firstfruits of
all their strength. 37 Then he brought
out Israel with tsilver and gold and
there was none among his tribes who
stumbled.38 uEgypt was glad when
they departed, for vdread of them had
fallen upon it.39 He wspread a cloud for
a covering, and fire to give light by
night. 40 xThey asked, and he ybrought
quail, and gave them zbread from
heaven in abundance. 41 He opened
the rock, and awater gushed out; it
flowed through bthe desert like a
river.42 For he cremembered his holy
promise, and dAbraham, his servant.43
So he brought his people out with
joy,his dchosen ones with esinging.44
And he fgave them the lands of the
nations and they took possession of
the fruit of the peoples toil, 45 that they
might gkeep his statutes and hobserve
his laws.
Ps 106 Give thanks to
the Lord for He is
good i
Praise the Lord! jOh
give thanks to the Lord, kfor he is
good,
l
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2
Who can utter the mighty deeds of
the Lord for declare all his praise? 3
Blessed are they who observe
justice,who mdo righteousness at all
times!4 nRemember me, O Lord, when
you show favor to your people;help
me when you save them,15 that I may
look upon the prosperity of your
o
chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the
gladness of your nation, that I may
glory with your inheritance.
that we and qour fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity; we have
done wickedness.7 Our fathers, when
they were in Egypt,did not consider
your wondrous works;they r
didnot
remember the abundance of your
steadfast love,but srebelled by the
sea, at the Red Sea.8 Yet he saved
them tfor his names sake,uthat he
might make known his mighty power.
9
He vrebuked the Red Sea, and it
w
became dry, and he xled them
through the deep as through a
desert.10 So he ysaved them from the
hand of the foe and zredeemed them
from the power of the enemy.11 And
a
the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left. 12 Then bthey
believed his words; they csang his
praise.13 But they soon dforgot his
works; they did not wait for ehis
counsel.14 But they had fa wanton
craving in the wilderness, and gput
God to the test in the desert;15 he
h
gave them what they asked, but sent
i
a wasting disease among them. 16
When men in the camp jwere jealous
of Moses and Aaron, kthe holy one of
the Lord, 17 lthe earth opened and
swallowed up Dathan, and covered
the company of Abiram. 18 mFire also
broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked. 19
They nmade a calf in Horeb and
worshiped a metal image. 20 They
o
exchanged the glory of God for the
image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They
p
forgot God, their Savior, who had
done great things in Egypt,
wondrous works in qthe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23
Therefore rhe said he would destroy
them had not Moses, his schosen
one, tstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying
them. 24 Then they udespised vthe
pleasant land, having wno faith in his
promise. 25 They xmurmured in their
tents,and did not obey the voice of the
Lord.26 Therefore he yraised his hand
and swore to them that he would
make them fall in the wilderness, 27
and would make their offspring fall
among the nations, zscattering them
among the lands.28 Then they ayoked
themselves to the aBaal of Peor, and
ate sacrifices offered to bthe dead;29
they provoked the Lord to anger with
their deeds, and a plague broke out
among them. 30 Then cPhinehas stood
up and intervened, and the plague
was stayed.31 And that was dcounted
to him as righteousness from
generation to generation forever.32
They eangered him at the waters of
Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on
their account,33 for they fmade his
spirit bitter,3 and he gspoke rashly with
his lips.34 They did not hdestroy the
peoples, ias the Lord commanded
them,35 but they jmixed with the
nations
and learned to do as they did. 36 They
served their idols, which became ka
snare to them.37 They lsacrificed their
sons and their daughters to mthe
demons; 38 they poured out innocent
blood, the blood of their sons and
daughters, whom they sacrificed to
the idols of Canaan, and the land was
n
polluted with blood. 39 Thus they
o
became unclean by their acts, and
p
played the whore in their deeds.40
Then qthe anger of the Lord was
kindled against rhis people, and he
abhorred his rheritage; 41 he sgave
them into the hand of the nations,so
that those who hated them ruled over
them. 42 Their enemies toppressed
them, and they were brought into
subjection under their power. 43 uMany
times he delivered them, but they
were rebellious in their vpurposes and
were wbrought low through their
iniquity.44 Nevertheless, he looked
upon their distress, when he xheard
their cry.45 For their sake he
y
remembered his covenant, and
z
relented according to athe abundance
of his steadfast love.46 He caused
them to be bpitied by all those who
held them captive.47 cSave us, O Lord
our God, and dgather us from among
the nations, that we may give thanks
to your holy name and glory in your
praise.48 eBlessed be the Lord, the
God of Israel from everlasting to
everlasting!
e
And let all the people say, Amen!
Praise the Lord!

3
Praise the Lord, for xthe Lord is

in heaven and on earth, in the seas
and all deeps.7 dHe it is who makes
the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
who emakes lightnings for the rain and
brings forth the wind from his
f
storehouses.8 He it was who gstruck
down the firstborn of Egypt, both of
man and of beast;9 who in your midst,
O Egypt,
sent hsigns and wonders against
Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 i
who struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings,11 jSihon, king
of the Amorites,and kOg, king of

and mgave their land as a heritage, a
heritage to his people Israel. 13 nYour
name, O Lord, endures forever, oyour
renown,2 O Lord, throughout all ages.
14 p
For the Lord will vindicate his
people and qhave compassion on his
servants. 15 rThe idols of the nations
are silver and gold, the work of human
hands. 16 They have mouths, but do
not speak; they have eyes, but do not
see;17 they have ears, but do not
hear,nor is there any breath in their
mouths.18 Those who make them
become like them,so do all who trust
in them.19 sO house of Israel, bless

Psalm 78 Tell The
Coming Generation
1 i
Give ear, O my people, to my
teaching; incline your ears to the
words of my mouth! 2 jI will open my
mouth kin a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,3
things that we have heard and known,
that our lfathers have told us.4 We will
not mhide them from their children, but
n
tell to the coming generation the
glorious deeds of the Lord, and his
might, and othe wonders that he has
done.5 He established pa testimony in
q
Jacob and appointed a law in qIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers to
teach to their children, 6 that rthe next
generation might know them, the
children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their
children,7 so that they should set their
hope in God and not forget sthe works
t
of God, but keep his
commandments;8 and that they
should not be ulike their fathersva
stubborn and rebellious generation, a
generation wwhose heart was not
steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful
to God. 9 The Ephraimites, armed
with2 the bow, xturned back on the day
of battle.10 They ydid not keep Gods
covenant,
but refused to walk according to his
law.
11
They zforgot his works
and athe wonders that he had shown
them.
12
In the sight of their fathers bhe
performed wonders
in the land of Egypt, in cthe fields of
Zoan.
13
He ddivided the sea and let them
pass through it,
and made the waters estand like a
heap.
14 f
In the daytime he led them with a
cloud,
and all the night with a fiery light.
15
He gsplit rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink abundantly as
from the deep.
16
He made streams come out of hthe
rock
and caused waters to flow down like
rivers.
17
Yet they sinned still more against
him,
i
rebelling against the Most High in the
desert.
18
They jtested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.
19
They spoke against God, saying,
k
Can God lspread a table in the
wilderness?
20 m
He struck the rock so that water
gushed out
and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
or provide meat for his people?
21
Therefore, when the Lord heard, he
was full of wrath;
n
a fire was kindled against Jacob;
his anger rose against Israel,
22
because they odid not believe in
God
and did not trust his saving power.
23
Yet he commanded the skies above
and popened the doors of heaven,
24
and he qrained down on them
manna to eat
and gave them rthe grain of heaven.
25
Man ate of the bread of sthe angels;
he sent them food tin abundance.
26
He ucaused the east wind to blow in
the heavens,
and by his power he led out the south
wind;
27
he rained meat on them like vdust,
winged birds like wthe sand of the
seas;
28
he xlet them fall in the midst of their
camp,
all around their dwellings.
29
And they yate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they zcraved.
30
But before they had satisfied their
craving,
a
while the food was still in their
mouths,
31
the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed bthe strongest of them
and laid low cthe young men of Israel.
32
In spite of all this, they dstill sinned;
e
despite his wonders, they did not
believe.
33
So he made ftheir days gvanish like3
a breath,4
and their years in terror.
34
When he killed them, they hsought
him;
they repented and sought God
earnestly.
35
They remembered that God was
their irock,
the Most High God their jredeemer.
36
But they kflattered him with their
mouths;
they llied to him with their tongues.
37
Their mheart was not nsteadfast
toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38
Yet he, being ocompassionate,
p
atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
He qremembered that they were but
r
flesh,
s
a wind that passes and comes not
again.
40
How often they trebelled against
him in the wilderness
and ugrieved him in vthe desert!
41
They wtested God again and again
and provoked xthe Holy One of Israel.
42
They ydid not remember his power5
or the day when he redeemed them
from the foe,
43 z
when he performed his asigns in
Egypt
and his bmarvels in cthe fields of Zoan.
44
He dturned their rivers to blood,
so that they could not drink of their
streams.
45
He sent among them swarms of
e
flies, which devoured
them,
and ffrogs, which destroyed them.
46
He gave their crops to gthe
destroying locust
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47
He destroyed their vines with hhail
and their sycamores with frost.
48
He gave over their icattle to the hail
and their flocks to thunderbolts.
49
He let loose on them his burning
anger,
wrath, indignation, and distress,
a company of jdestroying angels.
50
He made a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death,
but gave their lives over to the plague.
51
He struck down every kfirstborn in
Egypt,
the firstfruits of their strength in the
tents of lHam.
52
Then he led out his people mlike
