CHAPTER 6
Now these
are
the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the L
ORD
your God
commanded to teach you, that ye might do
them
in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2
That thou
mightest fear the L
ORD
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.
3
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do
it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye may
increase mightily, as the L
ORD
God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with
milk and honey.
4
Hear, O Israel: The L
ORD
our God
is
one L
ORD
:
5
And thou shalt love the L
ORD
thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6
And these words, which
I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7
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.
8
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon
thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9
And thou shalt write them upon the
posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10
And it shall be, when the L
ORD
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,
11
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;
12
Then
beware lest thou forget the L
ORD
,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13
Thou shalt fear
the L
ORD
thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
14
Ye shall not go after other gods,
of the gods of the people which
are
round about you;
15
(For the L
ORD
thy God
is
a jealous God
among you) lest the anger of the L
ORD
thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off
the face of the earth.
16
Ye shall not tempt the L
ORD
your God, as ye tempted
him
in Massah.
17
Ye shall diligently
keep the commandments of the L
ORD
your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath
commanded thee.
18
And thou shalt do
that which is
right and good in the sight of the L
ORD
: that it
may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the L
ORD
sware
unto thy fathers,
19
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the L
ORD
hath spoken.
20
And
when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What
mean
the testimonies, and the statutes, and
the judgments, which the L
ORD
our God hath commanded you?
21
Then thou shalt say unto thy son,
We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the L
ORD
brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
22
And the L
ORD
shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon
all his household, before our eyes:
23
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in,
to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24
And the L
ORD
commanded us to do all these
statutes, to fear the L
ORD
our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as
it is
at
this day.
25
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before
the L
ORD
our God, as he hath commanded us.
