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 you enter to inherit it.

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go 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.

That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be 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 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 you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

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

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your 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 command you this day, shall be in your 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 you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

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

And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

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

And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your 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 shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,

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 you filled not, and wells dig, which you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

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.

Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

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.

You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

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

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which 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 the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

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

You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him 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.

You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

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 you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers.

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

To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has 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 judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has 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 you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD 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 the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, 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 today.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is 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 our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
