3And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do [them]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey. 4Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah; and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength. 6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart; 7and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 6:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Thou shalt love the Lord, etc. - Here we see the truth of that word of the apostle, 1 Timothy 1:5; : Now the End of the Commandment is Love out of a pure heart, etc. See the whole of the doctrine contained in this verse explained on Matthew 22:36-40; (note).Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Since there is but One God, and that God is Israel‘s God, so Israel must love God unreservedly and entirely. The “heart” is mentioned as the seat of the understanding; the “soul” as the center of will and personality; the “might” as representing the outgoings and energies of all the vital powers. The New Testament itself requires no more than this total self-surrender of man‘s being to his maker Matthew 22:37. The Gospel differs from the Law not so much…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-5Verses 4-5 Here is a brief summary of religion, containing the first principles of faith and obedience. Jehovah our God is the only living and true God; he only is God, and he is but One God. Let us not desire to have any other. The three-fold mention of the Divine names, and the plural number of the word translated God, seem plainly to intimate a Trinity of persons, even in this express declaration of the unity of the Godhead. Happy those who have this…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5love the LORD: See study note on Joshua 23:11. The words heart … soul … strength represent the mind, will, emotions, spirituality, and physical being. In other words, they refer to all that a person is and can do for God. This commandment is central to God’s covenant with Israel (see Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-251-9. Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them ... whither ye go to possess it--The grand design of all the institutions prescribed to Israel was to form a religious people, whose national character should be distinguished by that fear of the Lord their God which would ensure their divine observance of His worship and their steadfast obedience to His will.
