Deuteronomy 6

And these {are} the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances that God your God has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are going over to possess it

so that you will fear God your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments that I am commanding you and your son and the son of your son, all the days of your life, and so that your days will be prolonged. \*

And you shall listen, Israel, and carefully do, that it will go well for you, and that you will greatly multiply, as God, the God of your fathers spoke to you, {in} a land flowing with milk and honey. \*

Hear, Israel: God {is} our God; God {is} one.

And you shall love God your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. \*

And these words that I am commanding you today will be on your heart.

And you shall diligently teach them to your sons and speak about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. \*

And you shall tie them as a sign on your hand. And they will be as frontlets between your eyes.

And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. \*

And it will happen that God your God will bring you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you, {with} large and good cities that you did not build,

and houses full of every good thing that you did not gather, and hewn cisterns that you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant. And you will eat and be satisfied.

Guard yourselves, lest you forget God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves. \*

God your God you shall fear and him you shall serve and by his name you shall swear.

Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who surround you,

for God your God in your midst {is} a jealous God, lest the nose of God your God burn against you, and he destroy you from the face of the earth. \*

Do not test God your God as you tested {him} at Massah.

Keeping, you shall keep the commandments of God your God and his testimonies and his statutes that he has commanded you. \*

And you shall do the right and the good in the eyes of God, so that it may be well for you, and you may go in and possess the good land that God swore to your fathers,

to thrust away all your enemies from your faces, as God has spoken. \*

When your son asks you tomorrow, saying, ‘What the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that God our God commanded you?’

Then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt. And God brought us out from Egypt with a mighty hand.

And God gave signs and wonders, great and terrible, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes.

And he brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give to us the land that he swore to our fathers. \*

And God commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear God our God for good to us all of the days, to keep us alive as this day.

And it will be righteousness to us, if we keep doing all these commandments to the face of God our God, as he has commanded us.’ \*
