1And this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments that the LORD your God commanded you to teach, so that you may do them in the land that you are crossing over to possess.2You shall fear the LORD your God by keeping all his statutes and commandments that I command you, you and your son and the son of your son, all the days of your life, and so that your days may be prolonged.3Hear, O Israel, and keep them by doing what is good for you and so that you may multiply greatly, just as the LORD the God of your fathers spoke to you, a land flowing with milk and honey.4Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one.5And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.6And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.7And you shall teach them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way and when you lie down and when you rise.8And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.9And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.10And it shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, large and good cities that you did not build,11and houses full of every good thing that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you shall eat and be satisfied.12Take care for yourself, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.13You shall fear the LORD your God, and him you shall serve, and by his name you shall swear.14You shall not walk after other gods, from the gods of the peoples who are around you,15for the LORD your God is a jealous God in your midst, lest the anger of the LORD your God burn against you and he destroy you from the face of the land.16You shall not test the LORD your God, just as you tested him at Massah.17You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and his testimonies and his statutes that he commanded you.18And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of the LORD, so that it may go well with you and you may come in and possess the good land that the LORD swore to your fathers,19to drive out all your enemies from before you, just as the LORD has spoken.20When your son asks you tomorrow, saying, 'What are the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments that the LORD our God commanded you?'21then you shall say to your son, 'We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the LORD brought us out from Egypt with a strong hand.'22And the LORD gave signs and great and harmful wonders in Egypt, against Pharaoh and against all his house, before our eyes.23And he brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.24And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for good for us all the days, to keep us alive, as it is this day.25And it shall be righteousness for us if we are careful to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, just as he commanded us.
