דברים פרק כח
(ט) יְקִימְךָ יְקֹוָק לוֹ לְעַם קָדוֹשׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לָךְ כִּי תִשְׁמֹר אֶת מִצְוֹת יְקֹוָק אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהָלַכְתָּ בִּדְרָכָיו:
The Lord will establish you as God’s holy people, as God swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in God’s ways. [JPS translation. Edited for gender neutrality]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What is our reward if we keep God’s commandments and walk in God’s ways? How is this a reward?
2. What is the difference between keeping God’s commandments and walking in God’s ways? Why are we commanded to do both?
