Deuteronomy 6:7-20

7Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.

8Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.

9Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

10“The Lord your God will soon bring you into the land he swore to give you when he made a vow to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is a land with large, prosperous cities that you did not build.

11The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did not produce. You will draw water from cisterns you did not dig, and you will eat from vineyards and olive trees you did not plant. When you have eaten your fill in this land,

12be careful not to forget the Lord, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt.

13You must fear the Lord your God and serve him. When you take an oath, you must use only his name.

14“You must not worship any of the gods of neighboring nations,

15for the Lord your God, who lives among you, is a jealous God. His anger will flare up against you, and he will wipe you from the face of the earth.

16You must not test the Lord your God as you did when you complained at Massah.

17You must diligently obey the commands of the Lord your God—all the laws and decrees he has given you.

18Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so all will go well with you. Then you will enter and occupy the good land that the Lord swore to give your ancestors.

19You will drive out all the enemies living in the land, just as the Lord said you would.

20“In the future your children will ask you, ‘What is the meaning of these laws, decrees, and regulations that the Lord our God has commanded us to obey?’
