Deuteronomy 6:1-9 ▼

1 These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,

2 so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.

3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.

5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

6 These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.
