Bible: Deut. 6:16-17; 8:15; 32:4, 13, 15, 18; 33:8

Exhortation to Obey the Lord Exclusively

6:16 You must not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah. 1  6:17 Keep his 2  commandments very carefully, 3  as well as the stipulations and statutes he commanded you to observe.

8:15 Then God spoke to Noah and said,

32:4 He commanded them, “This is what you must say to my lord Esau: ‘This is what your servant 1  Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban until now.

32:13 Jacob 2  stayed there that night. Then he sent 3  as a gift 4  to his brother Esau 32:15 thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. 32:18 then you must say, 5 They belong 6  to your servant Jacob. 7  They have been sent as a gift to my lord Esau. 8  In fact Jacob himself is behind us.’ 9 

33:8 Esau 1  then asked, “What did you intend 2  by sending all these herds to meet me?” 3  Jacob 4  replied, “To find favor in your sight, my lord.”
