Deuteronomy 6

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

'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

2 That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.

so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

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

'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the 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 you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.

and thou hast loved 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 you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.

and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

7 And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

8 And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.

and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

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

and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

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

'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,

11 houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

12 beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

13 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.

Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

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

ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

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

for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.

'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

17 You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.

ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,

18 And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,

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

to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.

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

'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

21 Then shall you say to your 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 hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth 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 Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, 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 us He hath brought out thence, 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 today.

And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves 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 righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
