6“Now this is the commandment, the rules and the regulations, that Yahweh your God charged to teach to you for you to observe^a in the land that you are about to cross over into^b to take possession of it, ²so that you may revere Yahweh your God by keeping all his statutes and his commandments that I am commanding you, you and your children and grandchildren,^c all the days of your life and so you may live long^d lives. ³And you shall hear, Israel, and be careful to observe these instructions, so that it may go well for you^e and that you may multiply greatly, just as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors,^f promised^g you, in a land with milk and honey.

⁴“Hear, Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is unique.^h ⁵And you shall love Yahweh your God with all of your heartⁱ and with all of your soul^j and with all of your might. ⁶And these words that I am commanding you today^k shall be on^l your heart.^m ⁷And you shall recite them to your children, and you shall talk about them at the time of your living in your house and at the time of your going on the road and at the time of your lying down and at the time of your rising up. ⁸And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as an emblem between your eyes. ⁹And you shall write them on the doorframe of your house and on your gates.

¹⁰“And then it will happen that when Yahweh your God will bring you to the land that he swore to your ancestors,ⁿ to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you large and fine cities that you did not build, ¹¹and houses full of all sorts of good things^o that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant, and you have eaten your fill,^p ¹²then take care for yourself, so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out from the land of Egypt from the house of slavery.

¹³“You shall fear Yahweh your God, and you shall serve him, and by his name you shall swear. ¹⁴You shall not go after other gods from the gods of the peoples who are all around you, ¹⁵for Yahweh your God is a jealous god in your midst, so that the anger of Yahweh your God would be kindled,^q and he would destroy you from the face of the earth.
