Verse 17 is found in chapter 26 of Deuteronomy. Moses presents the covenant relationship between God and Israel as a mutual belonging: Israel declares the Lord to be its God, and God declares Israel to be his treasured people. Election implies obedience, while identity as the chosen people requires living according to the commandments. The section summarizes much of the covenant theology developed in the preceding speeches.

Dem HERRN hast du heute zugesagt, daß er dein Gott, sei, daß du wollest in allen seinen Wegen wandeln und halten seine Gesetze, Gebote und Rechte und seiner Stimme gehorchen.
A Jehová has ensalzado hoy para que te sea por Dios, y para andar en sus caminos, y para guardar sus estatutos y sus mandamientos y sus derechos, y para oír su voz:
Aujourd'hui, tu as fait promettre à l'Eternel qu'il sera ton Dieu, afin que tu marches dans ses voies, que tu observes ses lois, ses commandements et ses ordonnances, et que tu obéisses à sa voix.
Oggi hai stipulato col Signore, ch’egli ti sarebbe Dio, e che tu cammineresti nelle sue vie, e osserveresti i suoi statuti, e i suoi comandamenti, e le sue leggi, e ubbidiresti alla sua voce.
Hoje declaraste ao SENHOR que ele te será por Deus, e que andarás nos seus caminhos, e guardarás os seus estatutos, e os seus mandamentos, e os seus juízos, e darás ouvidos à sua voz.
你今日宣認耶和華為你的上帝,承諾遵行他的道,謹守他的律例、誡命、典章,聽從他的話。
