1
Now these are the commandments[H4687], the statutes[H2706], and the judgments[H4941], which the LORD[H3068] your God[H430]commanded[H6680] to teach[H3925] you, that ye might do[H6213] them in the land[H776] whither ye go[H5674] to possess[H3423] it:
2
That thou mightest fear[H3372] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430], to keep[H8104] all his statutes[H2708] and his commandments[H4687], which I command[H6680] thee, thou, and thy son[H1121], and thy son[H1121]'s son[H1121], all the days[H3117] of thy life[H2416]; and that thy days[H3117] may be prolonged[H748].
3Hear[H8085] therefore, O Israel[H3478], and observe[H8104] to do[H6213] it; that it may be well[H3190] with thee, and that ye may increase[H7235]mightily[H3966], as the LORD[H3068]God[H430] of thy fathers[H1] hath promised[H1696] thee, in the land[H776] that floweth[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706].
4Hear[H8085], O Israel[H3478]: The LORD[H3068] our God[H430] is one[H259]LORD[H3068]:
5
And thou shalt love[H157] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] with all thine heart[H3824], and with all thy soul[H5315], and with all thy might[H3966].
6
And these words[H1697], which I command[H6680] thee this day[H3117], shall be in thine heart[H3824]:
7
And thou shalt teach them diligently[H8150] unto thy children[H1121], and shalt talk[H1696] of them when thou sittest[H3427] in thine house[H1004], and when thou walkest[H3212] by the way[H1870], and when thou liest down[H7901], and when thou risest up[H6965].
8
And thou shalt bind[H7194] them for a sign[H226] upon thine hand[H3027], and they shall be as frontlets[H2903] between thine eyes[H5869].
9
And thou shalt write[H3789] them upon the posts[H4201] of thy house[H1004], and on thy gates[H8179].
10
And it shall be, when the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] shall have brought[H935] thee into the land[H776] which he sware[H7650] unto thy fathers[H1], to Abraham[H85], to Isaac[H3327], and to Jacob[H3290], to give[H5414] thee great[H1419] and goodly[H2896]cities[H5892], which thou buildedst[H1129] not,
11
And houses[H1004]full[H4392] of all good[H2898] things, which thou filledst[H4390] not, and wells[H953]digged[H2672], which thou diggedst[H2672] not, vineyards[H3754] and olive trees[H2132], which thou plantedst[H5193] not; when thou shalt have eaten[H398] and be full[H7646];
12
Then beware[H8104] lest thou forget[H7911] the LORD[H3068], which brought thee forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], from the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650].
13
Thou shalt fear[H3372] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430], and serve[H5647] him, and shalt swear[H7650] by his name[H8034].
14
Ye shall not go[H3212]after[H310]other[H312]gods[H430], of the gods[H430] of the people[H5971] which are round about[H5439] you;
15
(For the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] is a jealous[H7067]God[H410]among[H7130] you) lest the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] thy God[H410] be kindled[H2734] against thee, and destroy[H8045] thee from off the face[H6440] of the earth[H127].
16
Ye shall not tempt[H5254] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430], as ye tempted[H5254] him in Massah[H4532].
17
Ye shall diligently[H8104]keep[H8104] the commandments[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] your God[H430], and his testimonies[H5713], and his statutes[H2706], which he hath commanded[H6680] thee.
18
And thou shalt do[H6213] that which is right[H3477] and good[H2896]in[H935] the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068]: that it may be well[H3190] with thee, and that thou mayest go in[H935] and possess[H3423] the good[H2896]land[H776] which the LORD[H3068]sware[H7650] unto thy fathers[H1],
19
To cast out[H1920] all thine enemies[H341] from before[H6440] thee, as the LORD[H3068] hath spoken[H1696].
20
And when thy son[H1121]asketh[H7592] thee in time to come[H4279], saying[H559], What mean the testimonies[H5713], and the statutes[H2706], and the judgments[H4941], which the LORD[H3068] our God[H430] hath commanded[H6680] you?
21
Then thou shalt say[H559] unto thy son[H1121], We were Pharaoh's bondmen[H5650] in Egypt[H4714]; and the LORD[H3068] brought us out[H3318] of Egypt[H4714] with a mighty[H2389]hand[H3027]:
22
And the LORD[H3068]shewed[H5414]signs[H226] and wonders[H4159], great[H1419] and sore[H7451], upon Egypt[H4714], upon Pharaoh[H6547], and upon all his household[H1004], before our eyes[H5869]:
23
And he brought us out[H3318] from thence, that he might bring us in[H935], to give[H5414] us the land[H776] which he sware[H7650] unto our fathers[H1].
24
And the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680] us to do[H6213] all these statutes[H2706], to fear[H3372] the LORD[H3068] our God[H430], for our good[H2896]always[H3117], that he might preserve us alive[H2421], as it is at this day[H3117].
25
And it shall be our righteousness[H6666], if we observe[H8104] to do[H6213] all these[H2063]commandments[H4687]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] our God[H430], as he hath commanded[H6680] us.
