Deuteronomy 6

1Now this is the commandmentH4687, the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, which Jehovah your GodH430 commandedH6680 to teachH3925 you, that ye might do them in the landH776 whither ye go over to possessH3423 it; 2that thou mightest fearH3372 Jehovah thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his statutesH2708 and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son’sH1121 sonH1121, all the daysH3117 of thy life; and that thy daysH3117 may be prolongedH748. 3HearH8085 therefore, O IsraelH3478, and observeH8104 to do it; that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and that ye may increaseH7235 mightily, as Jehovah, the GodH430 of thy fathersH1, hath promised unto thee, in a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

4Hear, O IsraelH3478: Jehovah our GodH430 is one Jehovah: 5and thou shalt loveH157 Jehovah thy GodH430 with all thy heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315, and with all thy might. 6And these wordsH1697, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, shall beH1961 upon thy heartH3824; 7and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy houseH1004, and when thou walkest by the wayH1870, and when thou liest downH7901, and when thou risest up. 8And thou shalt bindH7194 them for a signH226 upon thy handH3027, and they shall beH1961 for frontlets between thine eyesH5869. 9And thou shalt writeH3789 them upon the door-posts of thy houseH1004, and upon thy gatesH8179.

10And it shall beH1961, when Jehovah thy GodH430 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 which he sware unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, to giveH5414 thee, greatH1419 and goodly citiesH5892, which thou buildest not, 11and housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodH2898 things, which thou filledst not, and cisternsH953 hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyardsH3754 and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eatH398 and be fullH4392; 12then beware lestH6435 thou forgetH7911 Jehovah, who broughtH3318 thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage. 13Thou shalt fearH3372 Jehovah thy GodH430; and him shalt thou serveH5647, and shalt swearH7650 by his nameH8034. 14Ye shall not go after otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 that are roundH5439 about you; 15for Jehovah thy GodH430 in the midstH7130 of thee is a jealousH7067 GodH430; lestH6435 the angerH639 of Jehovah thy GodH430 be kindled against thee, and he destroyH8045 thee from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your GodH430, as ye tempted him in MassahH4532. 17Ye shall diligently keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah your GodH430, and his testimonies, and his statutesH2706, which he hath commandedH6680 thee. 18And thou shalt do that which is rightH3477 and goodH2896 in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and that thou mayest goH935 in and possessH3423 the goodH2896 landH776 which Jehovah sware unto thy fathersH1, 19to thrust out all thine enemiesH341 from before thee, as Jehovah hath spokenH1696.

20When thy sonH1121 asketh thee in timeH4279 to come, sayingH559, What mean the testimonies, and the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, which Jehovah our GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you? 21then thou shalt sayH559 unto thy sonH1121, We wereH1961 Pharaoh’s bondmen in EgyptH4714: and Jehovah broughtH3318 us out of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027; 22and Jehovah showed signsH226 and wondersH4159, greatH1419 and sore, upon EgyptH4714, upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his houseH1004, before our eyesH5869; 23and he broughtH935 us out from thence, that he might bringH935 us in, to giveH5414 us the landH776 which he sware unto our fathersH1. 24And Jehovah commandedH6680 us to do all these statutesH2706, to fearH3372 Jehovah our GodH430, for our goodH2896 always, that he might preserveH2421 us aliveH2421, as at this dayH3117. 25And it shall beH1961 righteousnessH6666 unto us, if we observeH8104 to do all this commandmentH4687 before Jehovah our GodH430, as he hath commandedH6680 us.
