Deuteronomy 4:1-2 and 7

"'Now, oh Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you.'"

"'You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.'"

"'For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?'"
