Verse 6 is found in chapter 4 of Deuteronomy. Moses urges Israel to listen to and practice the statutes they received. Obedience should not be understood as an arbitrary burden, but as the way to preserve life and display wisdom before the nations. God’s nearness to Israel and the uniqueness of his laws distinguish the people from other nations. The memory of Horeb establishes the foundation for obedience.

So behaltet's nun und tut es. Denn das wird eure Weisheit und Verstand sein bei allen Völkern, wenn sie hören werden alle diese Gebote, daß sie müssen sagen: Ei, welch weise und verständige Leute sind das und ein herrlich Volk!
Guardadlos, pues, y ponedlos por obra: porque esta es vuestra sabiduría y vuestra inteligencia en ojos de los pueblos, los cuales oirán todos estos estatutos, y dirán: Ciertamente pueblo sabio y entendido, gente grande es ésta.
Los guardarán y los pondrán por obra, porque esta es su sabiduría y su entendimiento ante los ojos de los pueblos. Ellos oirán todos estos estatutos y dirán: “Ciertamente esta gran nación es un pueblo sabio y entendido”.
Vous les observerez et vous les mettrez en pratique; car ce sera là votre sagesse et votre intelligence aux yeux des peuples, qui entendront parler de toutes ces lois et qui diront: Cette grande nation est un peuple absolument sage et intelligent!
Osservateli adunque, e metteteli in opera; conciossiachè questa sia la vostra sapienza e il vostro senno, nel cospetto de’ popoli, i quali, udendo tutti questi statuti, diranno: Questa gran nazione sola è un popolo savio e intendente.
Guardai-os pois, e cumpri-os, porque isso será a vossa sabedoria e o vosso entendimento perante os olhos dos povos, que ouvirão todos estes estatutos, e dirão: Este grande povo é nação sábia e entendida.
你們要謹守遵行;這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧和聰明。他們聽見這一切律例,必說:『這大國的人真是有智慧,有聰明!』
