7 Finally he took the book of the covenant*+ and read it in the ears of the people.+ Then they said: “All that Jehovah has spoken we are willing to do and be obedient.”+

18 And it must occur that when he takes his seat on the throne of his kingdom, he must write in a book for himself a copy of this law from that which is in the charge of the priests, the Levites.*+

26 “Taking* this book of the law,+ YOU must place it at the side of the ark+ of the covenant of Jehovah* YOUR God, and it must serve as a witness there against you.+

8 This book of the law should not depart from your mouth,+ and you must in an undertone read in it day and night, in order that you may take care to do according to all that is written in it;+ for then you will make your way successful and then you will act wisely.+
