israel what does the lord your god ask of you but to fear the lord your god and follow his ways exactly to love and serve the lord your god as well as the earth and everything on it yet in his love for your fathers the lord was so attached to them as to choose you their descendants in preference to all other peoples as indeed he has now done circumcise your hearts therefore be no longer stiff
