There should not be any poor people in your country. Why? Because the Lord is giving you this land. And the Lord will greatly bless you.
Then the Lord your God will bless you, like he promised. And you will have enough money to make loans to many nations. But you will not need to borrow from anyone. You will rule over many nations. But none of those nations will rule over you.
I have not eaten this food when I was sad. [165] I was not unclean when I collected this food. [166] I have not offered any of this food for dead people. I have obeyed you, Lord my God. I have done all the things you commanded me.
But you must be careful! Be sure that as long as you live you never forget the things you have seen. You must teach those things to your children and grandchildren.
You and your descendants [34] must respect the Lord your God as long as you live. You must obey all his laws and commands that I give you. If you do this, then you will have a long life in that new land.
Be sure that you live in a way that fits the Good News {\cf2\super [11]} of Christ. Then if I come and visit you or if I am away from you, I will hear good things about you. I will hear that you continue strong with the same purpose and work together like a team for the faith (truth) that comes from the Good News.
But you must also be strong and brave about another thing. You must be sure to obey the commands my servant Moses gave you. If you follow his teachings exactly, then you will be successful in everything you do.
