Chapter 10

Deuteronomy 10–11 teaches that fearing the Lord means recognizing His greatness and responding with humble obedience. The Lord owns heaven and earth, yet He chose Israel out of His covenant love, not because of their righteousness. God calls His people to love Him, walk in His ways, and serve Him with all their heart and soul. Remembering their deliverance from Egypt, they are commanded to show justice and compassion to the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger.
