Reading 1, Deuteronomy 26:16-19

¹⁶ 'Yahweh your God commands you today to observe these laws and customs; you must keep and observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.

¹⁷ 'Today you have obtained this declaration from Yahweh: that he will be your God, but only if you follow his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, his customs, and listen to his voice.

¹⁸ And today Yahweh has obtained this declaration from you: that you will be his own people -- as he has said -- but only if you keep all his commandments;

¹⁹ then for praise and renown and honour, he will raise you higher than every other nation he has made, and you will be a people consecrated to Yahweh, as he has promised.'
