4HearH8085, O IsraelH3478: The LORDH3068 our GodH430, the LORDH3068 is OneH259.1 5And you shall loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with allH3605 your heartH3824 and with allH3605 your soulH5315 and with allH3605 your strengthH3966.2

6TheseH428 wordsH1697 IH595 am commanding youH6680 todayH3117 are to beH1961 uponH5921 your heartsH3824. 7And you shall teach them diligentlyH8150 to your childrenH1121 and speakH1696 of them when you sitH3427 at homeH1004 and when you walkH1980 along the roadH1870, when you lie downH7901 and when you get upH6965. 8Tie themH7194 as remindersH226 onH5921 your handsH3027 and bind themH1961H2903 on your foreheadsH996H5869. 9Write themH3789 onH5921 the doorpostsH4201 of your housesH1004 and on your gatesH8179.

And whenH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you intoH413 the landH776 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, that He would giveH5414 you—a land with greatH1419 and splendidH2896 citiesH5892 thatH834 you did notH3808 buildH1129, 11with housesH1004 full ofH4392 everyH3605 goodH2898 thing with whichH834 you did notH3808 fill themH4390, with wellsH953H2672 thatH834 you did notH3808 digH2672, and with vineyardsH3754 and olive grovesH2132 thatH834 you did notH3808 plantH5193—and when you eatH398 and are satisfiedH7646, 12be carefulH8104 notH6435 to forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 whoH834 brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650.

FearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, serve HimH5647 only, and take your oathsH7650 in His nameH8034.3 14Do notH3808 followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430, the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 around youH5439. 15ForH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, who is among youH7130, is a jealousH7067 GodH410. OtherwiseH6435 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will wipe youH8045 offH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
