* And this is the commandment , with the statutes , and the ordinances , which the Lord your God hath commanded to teach you , to do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it : * In order that you mayest fear the 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 in order that thy days may be prolonged . * Hear , therefore , O Israel , and observe to do them ; that it may be well with thee , and that ye may increase greatly , as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee , the land flowing with milk and honey . * Hear , O Israel ! The Lord , our God , is the One Eternal Being . * And thou shalt love the 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 in thy heart : * And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children , and thou shalt speak of them when thou sittest in thy house , and when thou walkest by the way , and when thou liest down , and when thou risest up . * And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand , and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes . * And thou shalt write them upon the door –posts of thy house , and upon thy gates . * And it shall be , when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers , to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob , to give unto thee , great and goodly cities , which thou didst not build , * And houses full of all good things , which thou didst not fill , and wells hewed out which thou didst not hew , vineyards and olive –trees , which thou didst not plant ; and thou hast eaten and art satisfied : * Then beware that thou do not forget the Lord , who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt , from the house of slavery . * The Lord thy God shalt thou fear , and him shalt thou serve , and by his name shalt thou swear . * Ye shall not go after other gods , of the gods of the nations which are round about you ; * For the Lord thy God is a watchful God among you : so that the anger of the Lord thy God may not be kindled against thee , and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth . * Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God , as ye tempted him in Massah . * Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God , and his testimonies , and his statutes , which he hath commanded thee . * And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the eyes of the Lord ; in order that it may be well with thee , and that thou mayest go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers , * To cast out all thy enemies from before thee ; as the Lord hath spoken . * When thy son should ask thee in time to come , saying , What mean the testimonies , and the statutes , and the ordinances , which the Lord our God hath commanded you ? * Then shalt thou say unto thy son , We were bondmen unto Pharaoh in Egypt ; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand ; * And the Lord let come signs and wonders , great and sore , on Egypt , on Pharaoh , and on all his household , before our eyes ; * And us he brought out from there ; in order to bring us in , to give us the land which he had sworn unto our fathers . * And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes , to fear the Lord our God ; that it might be well with us at all times , and that he might preserve us alive , as it is at this day . * And it shall be accounted righteousness unto us , if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God , as he hath commanded us .
