Deuteronomy 4:2 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

1 Agora, pois, ó Israel, ouve os estatutos e regulamentos que eu vos ensino, para que os executeis, e vivais, e entreis, e possuais a terra que o SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais te dá.

2 Não acrescentareis à palavra que eu vos mando, nem diminuireis dela, para que guardeis os mandamentos do SENHOR vosso Deus que eu vos ordeno.

3 Vossos olhos viram o que fez o SENHOR por motivo de Baal-Peor; que a todo homem que foi atrás de Baal-Peor destruiu o SENHOR teu Deus do meio de ti.

4 Mas vós que vos achegastes ao SENHOR vosso Deus, todos estais vivos hoje.
