Deuteronomy 6:1-8



This is my translation from the Hebrew text.

"Now this is the commandment, the enactments and the judgments that Yahweh your God charged to teach you to do in the land to which you are about to pass over there to take possesion of it; in order that you will fear Yahweh your God to keep all of His statutes and His commandments that I am commanding you, you and your son and the son of your son, all the days of your life in order that your days will be prolonged. Now hear, O Israel, and be careful to do them that it will be well for you and that you will become exceedingly numerous as which Yahweh the God of your fathers has promised for you a land flowing with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one. And you will love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your force. And these words which I am commanding you today will be on your heart. And you shall teach the words incisively to your sons and you shall speak of them in your sitting in your house and in your walking by the road and in your lying down and in your standing. And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand and they shall be for perpetual remembrance between your eyes."
