    Brief Summary: The obligation to WALK IN GOD'S WAYS (Dt11-30e) refers to IMITATING HIS 13 ATTRIBUTES (Ex34-06:07)

Verse(s) Dt11-22b discussing the obligation to walk in God's ways states For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to hold fast to him. Rashi clarifies the underlined words to walk in all his ways by referencing verse(s) Ex33-18 - Ex34-06:07 discussing Moses' request to God to show Moses God's ways and God's 13 attributes of mercy, that is God's response to Moses, and which states And he (Moses) said, 'Please show me Your (God's) ways'.... And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the childrens children, to the third and to the fourth generation Hence the Rashi comment: The ways of God, in which we were commanded to walk, are the 13 personality traits of God shown to Moses in response to his request to know God's ways.
