Deuteronomy 6:2-9

2As long as you live, you, your children, and your grandchildren must fear the Lord your God. All of you must obey all his laws and commands that I’m giving you, and you will live a long time.

3Listen, Israel, and be careful to obey these laws. Then things will go well for you and your population will increase in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord God of your ancestors promised you.

4Listen, Israel: The Lord is our God. The Lord is the only God.

5Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6Take to heart these words that I give you today.

7Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up.

8⌞Write them down, and⌟ tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.

9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
