Deuteronomy 10: What Does God Ask?

God gives Moses two new stone tablets to replace the broken ones, and Moses puts them in the ark. The Levites are set apart to carry the ark and serve. Moses asks what God requires: to fear Him, walk in His ways, love Him, and serve Him with all the heart. God is great and just, and He loves the foreigner, so Israel must love the foreigner too.
