Deuteronomy 6:13-25
131You shall 2fearH3372 only the LordH3068 your GodH430; and you shall 3worshipH5647 Him and 4swearH7650 by His nameH8034. 145You shall not followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430, anyH312 of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 surroundH5439 you, 15for the LordH3068 your GodH430 in the midstH7130 of you is a 6jealousH7067 GodH410; otherwiseH6435 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 7wipeH8045 you offH4480H5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
16“8You shall not putH5254 the LordH3068 your GodH430 to the testH5254, 9as you testedH5254 Him at MassahH4532. 1710You should diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, and His testimoniesH5713 and His statutesH2706 whichH834 He has commandedH6680 you. 18You shall doH6213 what is rightH3477 and goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, that 11it may be wellH3190 with you and that you may goH935 in and possessH3423 the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to give your fathersH1, 19by drivingH1920 out allH3605 your enemiesH340 from beforeH6440 you, as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.
20“12WhenH3588 your sonH1121 asksH7592 you in timeH4279 to comeH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 do the testimoniesH5713 and the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 mean whichH834 the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 you?’ 21then you shall sayH559 to your sonH1121, ‘We were slavesH5650 to PharaohH6547 in EgyptH4714, and the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us from EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027. 22Moreover, the LordH3068 showedH5414 greatH1419 and distressingH7451 signsH226 and wondersH4159 before our eyesH5869 against EgyptH4714, PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his householdH1004; 23He broughtH3318 us out from thereH8033 in orderH4616 to bringH935 us in, to giveH5414 us the landH776 whichH834 He had swornH7650 to our fathersH1.’ 24So the LordH3068 commandedH6680 us to observeH6213 allH3605 theseH428 statutesH2706, 13to fearH3372 the LordH3068 our GodH430 for our goodH2896 alwaysH3605H3117 and 14for our survivalH2421, as it is todayH3117. 2515It will be righteousnessH6666 for us ifH3588 we 16are carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 commandmentH4687 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 our GodH430, justH3512 as He commandedH6680 us.
