Hear, Israel

¹This is the commandment, the statutes and rulings, that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you, so that you will keep them in the land you are crossing over to take possession of, ²so that you may fear the LORD your God and keep all his statutes and commandments that I am giving you, you and your children and grandchildren, as long as you live, and so that your life may be long. ³Listen then, Israel, and keep them with care. Then all will be well with you, and you will become very many in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

⁴Hear, Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. ⁵You are to love the LORD your God with your whole heart, with your whole being, and with all your strength. ⁶Keep these words that I am commanding you today close to your heart. ⁷Teach them carefully to your children, and speak of them as you sit in your house and as you go on your way, as you lie down and as you rise. ⁸Tie them as a sign on your hand, and let them be a band between your eyes. ⁹Write them on the doorposts of your house and on the gates of your town.

Do not forget the LORD

¹⁰The LORD your God is bringing you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that he would give you. It has great and fine cities that you did not build, ¹¹houses full of every kind of good thing that you did not put in them, cisterns cut in the rock that you did not cut, vineyards and olive groves you did not plant. When you have eaten your fill, ¹²then watch yourself, so that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. ¹³Fear the LORD your God and no other; serve him, and swear your oaths by his name. ¹⁴You must not go after other gods, any of the gods of the peoples that surround you. ¹⁵For the LORD your God, who is in your midst, is a jealous God; beware, or the anger of the LORD your God will blaze against you and he will wipe you off the face of the earth.

¹⁶You must not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah. ¹⁷Take care to keep the commandments of the LORD your God, his decrees and his statutes, which he has commanded you. ¹⁸Do what the LORD sees as right and good, so that all will be well with you and you can enter and take possession of the good land that the LORD swore to your fathers, ¹⁹driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD promised.

When your son asks you

²⁰Some day your son will ask you, ‘What do they mean, these decrees, statutes and rulings that the LORD our God has commanded you?’ ²¹Then tell your son, ‘In Egypt we were slaves to Pharaoh, but by his strong hand the LORD led us out of Egypt. ²²We saw it with our own eyes: the LORD brought great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his household. ²³Us, though, he led out from there, so that he could bring us in and give us the land he swore to our fathers. ²⁴The LORD commanded us to keep all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today. ²⁵Righteousness will be ours if we take care to keep this whole commandment in the presence of the LORD our God, as he commanded us.’
