Deuteronomy 6

1 “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,

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 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.

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 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.

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: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!

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

5 And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

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 which I am commanding you today have been on your heart,

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

7 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,

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 have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between 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 have written them on doorposts of your house and on your gates.

And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.

10 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,

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 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.

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

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

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

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

14 You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you,

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 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.

(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 do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.

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

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

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 drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.

To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

20 When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has commanded you?

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 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;

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 YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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 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.

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 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;

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 it is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, 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.
