Chamishi

  1. Moshe relays to Bnei Yisrael several Mitzvos:
    • “What does Hashem ask from you but to fear Him and follow His ways. To love Him and serve Him with all your heart and soul. To guard His commands for your own benefit.
    • Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Hashem and yet He chose you. Hashem loved our ancestors and hence chose us as His nation.
    • You shall remove the Arla of your hearts and not be stubborn, as Hashem is the great and mighty G-d who cannot be bribed and does justice for the widow and orphan.
    • One is to love the convert, as you too were converts in Egypt.
    • You shall fear and love Hashem, attach to Him and swear by Him.”
    • The miracles Hashem did for us: “He is your G-d who performed for you all the miracles that you witnessed. He brought you to Egypt with 70 souls and now you have become as abundant as the stars. You saw what He did to Egypt and how He smote them by the sea, and what He did for you in the desert. You saw what He did to Dasan and Aviram for whom the earth opened, and it swallowed them and their homes and tents.”
    • Moshe encourages Bnei Yisrael to guard the Mitzvos and hence solidify their stay in Eretz Yisrael and merit a long life in the land of milk and honey.
