Deuteronomy 6

1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it.

Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it,

2 That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days.

that thou might fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has promised to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.

And thou shall love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart.

7 And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.

8 And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes.

And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.

And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and beautiful cities which thou didst not build,

And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou did not build,

11 houses full of all good things which thou didst not fill, wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

and houses full of all good things, which thou did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou did not hew, vineyards and olive trees, which thou did not plant, and thou shall eat and be full,

12 beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve; and thou shalt cleave to him, and by his name thou shalt swear.

Thou shall fear Jehovah thy God, and him thou shall serve, and shall swear by his name.

14 Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you,

15 for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God, lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as ye tempted him in the temptation.

Ye shall not challenge Jehovah your God, as ye challenged him in Massah.

17 Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded thee.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded thee.

18 And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy God, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

And thou shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers,

19 to chase all thine enemies from before thy face, as the Lord said.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah has spoken.

20 And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

When thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is the meaning of the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you?

21 Then shalt thou say to thy son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.

Then thou shall say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.

And Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes.

23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.

And he brought us out from there that he might bring us in to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even to-day.

And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God for our good always, that he might preserve us alive as at this day.

25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.

And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God as he has commanded us.
