The Lord provides the nation with two additional admonitions. They are to obey God’s word and they are to avoid pagan practices. This behaviour is built upon the reality of the Lord’s deliverance from Egypt and the fulfilment of his covenant promises.
26 Vous observerez donc mes lois et mes ordonnances, et vous ne commettrez aucune de ces abominations, ni l'indigène, ni l'étranger qui séjourne au milieu de vous.
