* And these are the commands , and the ordinances , and the judgements , 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 . * 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 . * 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 judgements , which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness , when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt . * * And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind , and with all thy soul , and all thy strength . * And these words , all that I command thee this day , shall be in thy heart and in thy soul . * 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 . * And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand , and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes . * And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates . * And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers , to Abraam , and to Isaac , and to Jacob , to give thee great and beautiful cities which thou didst not build , * houses full of all good things which thou didst not fill , (note :)Or , pits or pools (:note ) wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig , vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant , then having eaten and been filled , * beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt , out of the house of bondage . * * Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you ; * for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God , lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee , and destroy thee from off the face of the earth . * * Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God , the testimonies , and the ordinances , which he commanded thee . * And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy God , that it may be well with thee , and that thou mayest go in and inherit the good land , which the Lord sware to your fathers , * to chase all thine enemies from before thy face , as the Lord said . * And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee (note :)Gr . to-morrow (:note ) at a future time , saying , What are the testimonies , and the ordinances , and the judgements , which the Lord our God has commanded us ? * Then shalt thou say to thy son , We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt , and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand , and with a high arm . * And the Lord (note :)Gr . gave (:note ) wrought signs and great and Gr . evil grievous wonders in Egypt , on Pharao and on his house before us . * And he brought us out thence to give us this land , which he sware to give to our fathers . * And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances ; to fear the Lord our God , that it may be well with us for ever , that we may live , as even to-day . * And there shall be mercy to us , if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God , as he has commanded us .
