7And 1you shall repeatH8150 them diligentlyH8150 to your sonsH1121 and speakH1696 of them when you sitH3427 in your houseH1004, when you walkH1980 on the roadH1870, when you lieH7901 downH7901, and when you getH6965 upH6965. 82You shall also tieH7194 them as a 3signH226 to your 4handH3027, and they shall be as 5frontletsH2903 6on your foreheadH996H5869. 97You shall also writeH3789 them on the 8doorpostsH4201 of your houseH1004 and on your gatesH8179.

10“Then it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961 whenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 thatH834 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, to giveH5414 you, 9greatH1419 and splendidH2896 citiesH5892 whichH834 you did not buildH1129, 11and housesH1004 fullH4392 of allH3605 goodH2898 thingsH2898 whichH834 you did not fillH4390, and carvedH2672 cisternsH953 whichH834 you did not carveH2672 outH2672, vineyardsH3754 and oliveH2132 treesH2132 whichH834 you did not plantH5193, and 10you eatH398 and areH7646 satisfiedH7646, 12beH8104 11carefulH8104 that 12you do not forgetH7911 the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, outH3318 of the houseH1004 of 13slaveryH5650. 1314You shall 15fearH3372 only the LordH3068 your GodH430; and you shall 16worshipH5647 Him and 17swearH7650 by His nameH8034. 1418You shall not followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430, anyH312 of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 surroundH5439 you, 15for the LordH3068 your GodH430 who is in the midstH7130 of you is a 19jealousH7067 GodH410; so follow Him, orH6435 elseH6435 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 20wipeH8045 you offH4480H5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16“21You shall not putH5254 the LordH3068 your GodH430 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254, 22as you testedH5254 Him at MassahH4532. 1723You shall diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, and His provisionsH5713 and His statutesH2706 whichH834 He has commandedH6680 you. 18You shall doH6213 what is rightH3477 and goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, soH4616 thatH4616 24it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you and that you may goH935 inH935 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to give your fathersH1, 19by drivingH1920 outH1920 allH3605 your enemiesH340 from you, as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.

20“25WhenH3588 your sonH1121 asksH7592 you in timeH4279 to comeH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 do the provisionsH5713 and the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 mean whichH834 the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 you?’
