“I taught you the laws and rules that the Lord my God commanded me. I taught you these laws so that you could obey them in the land you are ready to enter and take for your own.
You should teach God’s laws and teachings to the people. Warn them not to break the laws. Tell them the right way to live. Tell them what they should do.
The Lord said to me, “Jeremiah, preach this message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. This is the message: Listen to the words of this Agreement. {\cf2\super [91]} And then obey those laws.
“You must obey my laws. You must not breed together two kinds of animals. You must not sow your field with two kinds of seed. You must not wear clothing made from two kinds of material mixed together.
Those are the laws, rules and teachings that the Lord gave to the people of Israel. {Those laws are the Agreement} between the Lord and the people of Israel. The Lord gave those laws to Moses at Mount Sinai {and Moses gave them to the people}.
The Lord gave those laws to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Lord gave those laws on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the Lord in the Sinai desert.
Teach those people to obey everything that I have told you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of the world.”
I gave you the message that I received. I told you the most important things: that Christ died for our sins, like the Scriptures {\cf2\super [107]} say;
“Now, Israel, listen to the laws and to the commands that I teach you. Obey them and you will live. Then you can go in and take the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.
You must not add to the things that I command you. And you must not take anything away. You must obey the commands of the Lord your God that I have given you.
And you must obey his laws and commands that I give you today. Then everything will go well with you and your children who live after you. And you will live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving you—it will be yours forever!”
Moses called together all the people of Israel and said to them, “People of Israel, listen to the laws and rules that I tell you today. Learn these laws and be sure to obey them.
“These are the commands, the laws, and the rules that the Lord your God told me to teach you. Obey these laws in the land that you are entering to live in.
