Deuteronomy 6:7-20

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?
