Deuteronomy 6:1-9 ▼

1 And these are the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it.

2 That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days.

3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these are the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.

6 And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.

7 And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

8 And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes.

9 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
