Deuteronomy 6
1. Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded * to teach * you, that ye might do * them in the land whither ye go * to possess * it:
2. That thou mightest fear * the LORD thy God, to keep * all his statutes and his commandments, which I command * thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged * .
3. Hear * therefore, O Israel, and observe * to do * it; that it may be well * with thee, and that ye may increase * mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised * thee, in the land that floweth * with milk and honey.
4. Hear * , O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love * the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6. And these words, which I command * thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach them diligently * unto thy children, and shalt talk * of them when thou sittest * in thine house, and when thou walkest * by the way, and when thou liest down * , and when thou risest up * .
8. And thou shalt bind * them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write * them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10. And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought * thee into the land which he sware * unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give * thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst * not,
11. And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst * not, and wells digged * , which thou diggedst * not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst * not; when thou shalt have eaten * and be full * ;
12. Then beware * lest thou forget * the LORD, which brought thee forth * out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13. Thou shalt fear * the LORD thy God, and serve * him, and shalt swear * by his name.
14. Ye shall not go * after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
15. (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled * against thee, and destroy * thee from off the face of the earth.
16. Ye shall not tempt * the LORD your God, as ye tempted * him in Massah.
17. Ye shall diligently * keep * the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded * thee.
18. And thou shalt do * that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well * with thee, and that thou mayest go in * and possess * the good land which the LORD sware * unto thy fathers,
19. To cast out * all thine enemies * from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken * .
20. And when thy son asketh * thee in time to come, saying * , What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded * you?
21. Then thou shalt say * unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out * of Egypt with a mighty hand:
22. And the LORD shewed * signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
23. And he brought us out * from thence, that he might bring us in * , to give * us the land which he sware * unto our fathers.
24. 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 shall be our righteousness, if we observe * to do * all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded * us.
