Starting in chapter five of Deuteronomy, Moses told the Israelites about the Ten Commandments that God has given them:
1) You shall have no other gods but the Lord God.
2) Thou shall not make any images or likenesses of idols for worship
3) Shall not take the Lord's name in vain
4) Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
5) Honor thy father and mother
6) Do not kill
7) Do not commit adultry
8) Do not steal.
9) Do not bear false witness against another
10) Do not covet
In chapter 6, Moses said to the Israelites that the greatest commandment is that the Lord God is our God. He warns against disobeying God, which during their journey had already had poor consequences. Moses said that God will punish those in the third and fourth generations if they disobey, while those who obey will be blessed for hundreds of generations to come.
