1Now
these are the
commandments,
the
statutes,
and the
judgments,
which the
LORD your
God
commanded to
teach you,
that ye
might do them in
the land
whither ye
go to
possess it:
2That
thou
mightest
fear the
LORD 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.
3Hear
therefore, O
Israel, and
observe to
do it;
that it may
be well with
thee, and
that ye may
increase
mightily, as
the LORD God
of thy
fathers hath
promised
thee, in the
land that
floweth with
milk and
honey.
4Hear,
O Israel:
The LORD our
God is one
LORD:
5And
thou shalt
love the
LORD thy God
with all
thine heart,
and with all
thy soul,
and with all
thy might.
6And
these words,
which I
command thee
this day,
shall be in
thine heart:
7And
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.
8And
thou shalt
bind them
for a sign
upon thine
hand, and
they shall
be as
frontlets
between
thine eyes.
9And
thou shalt
write them
upon the
posts of thy
house, and
on thy
gates.
10And
it shall be,
when the
LORD 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,
11And
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;
12Then beware
lest thou
forget the
LORD, which
brought thee
forth out of
the land of
Egypt, from
the house of
bondage.
13Thou
shalt fear
the LORD thy
God, and
serve him,
and shalt
swear by his
name.
14Ye
shall not go
after other
gods, of the
gods of the
people
which are round
about you;
15(For
the LORD thy
God is a
jealous God
among you)
lest the
anger of the
LORD thy God
be kindled
against
thee, and
destroy thee
from off the
face of the
earth.
16Ye
shall not
tempt the
LORD your
God, as ye
tempted him in
Massah.
17Ye
shall
diligently
keep the
commandments
of the LORD
your God,
and his
testimonies,
and his
statutes,
which he
hath
commanded
thee.
18And
thou shalt
do that
which is right
and good in
the sight of
the LORD:
that it may
be well with
thee, and
that thou
mayest go in
and possess
the good
land which
the LORD
sware unto
thy fathers,
19To
cast out all
thine
enemies from
before thee,
as the LORD
hath spoken.
20And when
thy son
asketh thee
in time to
come,
saying,
What mean the
testimonies,
and the
statutes,
and the
judgments,
which the
LORD our God
hath
commanded
you?
21Then
thou shalt
say unto thy
son, We were
Pharaoh's
bondmen in
Egypt; and
the LORD
brought us
out of Egypt
with a
mighty hand:
22And
the LORD
shewed signs
and wonders,
great and
sore, upon
Egypt, upon
Pharaoh, and
upon all his
household,
before our
eyes:
23And
he brought
us out from
thence, that
he might
bring us in,
to give us
the land
which he
sware unto
our fathers.
24And
the LORD
commanded us
to do all
these
statutes, to
fear the
LORD our
God, for our
good always,
that he
might
preserve us
alive, as it
is at
this day.
25And
it shall be
our
righteousness,
if we
observe to
do all these
commandments
before the
LORD our
God, as he
hath
commanded
us.
