*
Now these are the commandments ,
the statutes and judgments which Jehovah your God has commanded to teach you ,
to do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess ,
*
that you may fear Jehovah your God ,
to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you ,
you and your sons and your grandsons ,
all the days of your life ,
and that your days may be prolonged .
*
Therefore hear ,
O Israel ,
and take heed to do it ,
that it may be well with you ,
and that you may multiply greatly as Jehovah the God of your fathers has promised you ;
a land flowing with milk and honey .
*
Hear ,
O Israel :
Jehovah our God ,
Jehovah is one .
*
And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart ,
with all your soul ,
exceedingly in every way .
*
And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart .
*
You shall teach them diligently to your children ,
and shall talk of them when you sit in your house ,
when you walk by the way ,
when you lie down ,
and when you rise up .
*
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand ,
and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes .
*
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates .
*
And it shall be ,
when Jehovah your God shall have brought you into the land of which He has sworn to your fathers ,
to Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob ,
to give you great and good cities which you have not built ,
*
houses full of all good things ,
which you have not filled ,
hewn-out wells which you have not dug ,
vineyards and olive trees which you have not planted ;
when you have eaten and are full ;
*
then be on guard that you not forget Jehovah who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage .
*
You shall fear Jehovah your God and serve Him ,
and swear by His name .
*
You shall not go after other gods ,
the gods of the peoples who are all around you
* (
for Jehovah your God is a jealous Mighty God among you ),
lest the anger of Jehovah your God burn against you and destroy you from off the face of the earth .
*
You shall not tempt Jehovah your God as you tempted Him in Massah .
*
You shall take heed to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God ,
His testimonies ,
and His statutes which He has commanded you .
*
And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah ,
that it may be well with you ,
and that you may go in and possess the good land of which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers ,
*
to cast out all your enemies before you ,
as Jehovah has spoken .
*
When your son asks you in the future ,
saying ,
What are the testimonies ,
the statutes ,
and the judgments which Jehovah our God has commanded you ?
*
then you shall say to your son :
We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt ,
and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand ;
*
and Jehovah gave signs and wonders before our eyes ,
great and severe ,
against Egypt ,
Pharaoh ,
and all his house .
*
And He brought us out from there ,
that He might bring us in ,
to give us the land of which He had sworn to our fathers .
*
And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes ,
to fear Jehovah our God ,
for our good always ,
to preserve us alive ,
as it is this day .
*
And it shall be righteousness for us if we take heed to do all these commandments before Jehovah our God ,
as He has commanded us .
