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.

“And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there 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.

so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are 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.

And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

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

Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!

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

And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your 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 am commanding you today have been on your 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 you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,

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

and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,

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

and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your 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 has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,

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 you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.

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.

Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

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.

You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.

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

You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around 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 your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.

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

You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [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.

You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,

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 you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers,

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

to drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH 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 your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH 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 you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;

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

and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on 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 has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn 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 YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep 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 is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
