Deuteronomy 6:1-13 ▼

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,

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.

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.

4 Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!

5 And you have loved your God YHWH 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,

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,

8 and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,

9 and you have written them on doorposts 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,

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.

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.

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