Deuteronomy:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now this is the commandment ,
the statutes ,
and the ordinances ,
which LORD your God commanded to teach you ,
that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it ,
*
that thou might fear LORD thy God ,
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 .
*
Hear therefore ,
O Israel ,
and observe to do it ,
that it may be well with thee ,
and that ye may increase mightily ,
as LORD ,
the God of thy fathers ,
has promised to thee ,
in a land flowing with milk and honey .
*
Hear ,
O Israel :
LORD our God is one LORD .
*
And thou shall love LORD thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy might .
*
And these words ,
which I command thee this day ,
shall be upon thy heart .
*
And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons ,
and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house ,
and when thou walk by the way ,
and when thou lay down ,
and when thou rise up .
*
And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thy hand ,
and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes .
*
And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house ,
and upon thy gates .
*
And it shall be ,
when LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers ,
to Abraham ,
to Isaac ,
and to Jacob ,
to give thee ,
great and goodly cities ,
which thou did not build ,
*
and houses full of all good things ,
which thou did not fill ,
and cisterns hewn out ,
which thou did not hew ,
vineyards and olive trees ,
which thou did not plant ,
and thou shall eat and be full ,
*
then beware lest thou forget LORD ,
who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondage .
*
Thou shall fear LORD thy God ,
and him thou shall serve ,
and shall swear by his name .
*
Ye shall not go after other gods ,
of the gods of the peoples that are round about you ,
*
for LORD thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God ,
lest the anger of LORD thy God be kindled against thee ,
and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth .
*
Ye shall not challenge LORD your God ,
as ye challenged him in Massah .
*
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of LORD your God ,
and his testimonies ,
and his statutes ,
which he has commanded thee .
*
And thou shall do that which is right and good in the sight of LORD ,
that it may be well with thee ,
and that thou may go in and possess the good land which LORD swore to thy fathers ,
*
to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee ,
as LORD has spoken .
*
When thy son asks thee in time to come ,
saying ,
What is the meaning of the testimonies ,
and the statutes ,
and the ordinances ,
which LORD our God has commanded you ?
*
Then thou shall say to thy son ,
We were Pharaoh '
s bondmen in Egypt ,
and LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand .
*
And LORD showed signs and wonders ,
great and grievous ,
upon Egypt ,
upon Pharaoh ,
and upon all his house ,
before our eyes .
*
And he brought us out from there that he might bring us in to give us the land which he swore to our fathers .
*
And LORD commanded us to do all these statutes ,
to fear LORD our God for our good always ,
that he might preserve us alive as at this day .
*
And it shall be righteousness to us ,
if we observe to do all this commandment before LORD our God as he has commanded us .
