1 Now these are the commandments, the
statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you,
that you might do them inthe land that you
go over to possess;

2 that you might fear Yahweh your God,
to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your
son, and your son’s son, allthe days of your
life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to
do it, that it may be well with you, and that
you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the
God of your fathers, has promised to you,
in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.

5 You shall love Yahweh your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your might.

6 These words, which I command you
today, shall be on your heart;

7 and you shall teach them diligently to
your children, and shall talk of them when
you sit in your house, and when you walk
by the way, and when you lie down, and
when you rise up.

8 You shall bind them for a sign on your
hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

9 You shall write them on the door posts
of your house and on your gates.

10 It shall be, when Yahweh your God
brings you into the land which he swore to
your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities
which you didn’t build,

11 and houses full of all good things
which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out
which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive
trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall
eat and be full;

12 then beware lest you forget Yahweh,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
