 Moses said that it had been clearly demonstrated to them that the Lord alone is God and there is none beside God.Moses thus admonished them to observe God's laws and commandments, which Moses enjoined upon them that day, that it might go well with them and their children, and that they might long remain in the land that God was assigning to them for all time.The second reading (, "aliyah") and the third open portion (, "petuchah") end here.
