Deuteronomy:6:2-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That thou mightest 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 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 the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee ,
in the land that floweth with milk and honey .
*
Hear ,
O Israel :
The LORD our God is one LORD :
*
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy might .
*
And these words ,
which I command thee this day ,
shall be in thine heart :
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand ,
and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes .
*
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house ,
and on thy gates .
*
And it shall be ,
when the LORD thy God 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 ,
*
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 ;
*
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD ,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage .
*
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God ,
and serve him ,
and shalt swear by his name .
*
Ye shall not go after other gods ,
of the gods of the people which are round about you ;
* (
For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you )
lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee ,
and 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 sight of the LORD :
that it may be well with thee ,
and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers ,
*
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee ,
as the LORD hath spoken .
*
And when thy son asketh thee in time to come ,
saying ,
What mean the testimonies ,
and the statutes ,
and the judgments ,
which the LORD our God hath commanded you ?
*
Then thou shalt say unto thy son ,
We were Pharaoh '
s bondmen in Egypt ;
and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand :
*
And the LORD shewed signs and wonders ,
great and sore ,
upon Egypt ,
upon Pharaoh ,
and upon all his household ,
before our eyes :
*
And he brought us out from thence ,
that he might bring us in ,
to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers .
*
And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes ,
to fear the LORD our God ,
for our good always ,
that he might preserve us alive ,
as it is at this day .
*
And it shall be our righteousness ,
if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God ,
as he hath commanded us .
