Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Dette er budene, lovene og reglene som Herren deres Gud har befalt meg å lære dere, så dere kan holde dem når dere kommer inn i det nye landet deres. Dere viser respekt for Gud når dere og barna deres er lydige mot Herrens vilje, slik de kommer fram i budene. Da vil dere få leve lenge. Derfor må dere, Israels folk, høre godt etter og være nøye med å holde og følge dette. Da kan det gå dere godt, og dere kan vokse til et utallig stort folk. Det har Herren, deres forfedres Gud, lovet dere. Dere kommer til et land som inneholder alle de goder dere kan drømme om.
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Deuteronomy tells us about the commandments, statutes, and judgments that God commanded to be taught to the people of Israel. God wants the people to know and follow these laws as they enter the land He promised them.
Explained for Children
Imagine your parents give you a list of rules to follow at a new school you're about to attend. God is like a parent giving the Israelites rules to follow in their new home.
Historical Background
Moses wrote this in Deuteronomy around 1250 BCE. He was addressing the Israelites who were about to enter the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt. The Israelites were to follow God's laws in their new home.
Living It Out Today
Today, you can think about the rules and guidelines you have in your life. Just like the Israelites had laws from God, we have rules in our homes and schools. Following these can help us live well and fulfill our purposes.
