71You shall teachH8150 them diligentlyH8150 to your sonsH1121 and shall talkH1696 of them when you sitH3427 in your houseH1004 and when you walkH1980 by the wayH1870 and when you lieH7901 downH7901 and when you riseH6965 up. 82You shall bindH7194 them as a signH226 on your handH3027 and they shall be as 3frontalsH2903 4on your foreheadH996H5869. 95You shall writeH3789 them on the doorpostsH4201 of your houseH1004 and on your gatesH8179.

10“Then it shall comeH1961 about whenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and JacobH3290, to giveH5414 you, 6greatH1419 and splendidH2896 citiesH5892 whichH834 you did not buildH1129, 11and housesH1004 fullH4392 of allH3605 goodH2898 thingsH2898 whichH834 you did not fillH4390, and hewnH2672 cisternsH953 whichH834 you did not digH2672, vineyardsH3754 and oliveH2132 treesH2132 whichH834 you did not plantH5193, and 7you eatH398 and are satisfiedH7646, 12then watchH8104 yourself, that 8you do not forgetH7911 the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of 9slaveryH5650. 1310You shall 11fearH3372 only the LordH3068 your GodH430; and you shall 12worshipH5647 Him and 13swearH7650 by His nameH8034. 1414You 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 15jealousH7067 GodH410; otherwiseH6435 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 16wipeH8045 you offH4480H5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16“17You shall not putH5254 the LordH3068 your GodH430 to the testH5254, 18as you testedH5254 Him at MassahH4532. 1719You 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 20it 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“21WhenH3588 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?’
