Deuteronomy 6
6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which
your
Elohim commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess
it:
6:2 That thou mightest fear
thy Elohim, 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.
6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and
that ye may increase mightily, as
Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the
land that floweth with milk and honey.
6:4 Hear, O Israel:
is our Elohim,
is one:
6:5 And thou shalt love
thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might.
6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
6:7 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.
6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
6:10 And it shall be, when
thy Elohim 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,
6:11 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;
6:12 Then beware lest thou forget
, which brought thee forth out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage.
6:13 Thou shalt fear
thy Elohim, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
6:14 Ye shall not go after other elohim, of the elohim of the people which are round about you;
6:15 (For
thy Elohim is a jealous El among you) lest the anger of
thy
Elohim be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
6:16 Ye shall not tempt
your Elohim, as ye tempted him in Massah.
6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of
your Elohim, and his
testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
6:18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of
: that it may
be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which
sware
unto thy fathers.
6:19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as
hath spoken.
6:20 And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies,
and the statutes, and the judgments, which
our Elohim hath commanded you?
6:21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and
brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
6:22 And
shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his household, before our eyes:
6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
6:24 And
commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear
our Elohim, for
our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments
before
our Elohim, as he hath commanded us.
