Promises from the Pentateuch

The Pentateuch – The five books of the Law written by Moses

These are the books concerning the beginning of Israel.

Genesis
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Gen 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Exodus
Ex 4:11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
Ex 4:12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
Ex 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Ex 20:1 And God spoke all these words:
Ex 20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Ex 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
Ex 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
Ex 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Ex 20:6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Ex 20:7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Ex 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Ex 20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Ex 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
Ex 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Ex 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Ex 20:13 "You shall not murder.
Ex 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery.
Ex 20:15 "You shall not steal.
Ex 20:16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Ex 20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Ex 23:2 "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd,
Ex 23:25 Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,

Leviticus
Lev 19:30 "'Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
Lev 19:32 "'Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.

Numbers
Num 6:24 "'"The LORD bless you and keep you;
Num 6:25 the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
Num 6:26 the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."'
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Deuteronomy
Dt 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Dt 8:18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
Dt 29:29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
