1 "Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances which YHVH, your god, commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it;
2 that you may fear YHVH, your god, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them; that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as YHVH, the god of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 "Hear, O Israel: YHVH, our god, YHVH is one;
5 and you shall love YHVH, your god, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart;
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
8 And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
9 And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10 "And when YHVH, your god, brings, you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, with great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
11 and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which you did not hew, and vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and when you eat and are full,
12 then take heed lest you forget YHVH, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 You shall fear YHVH, your god, you shall serve him, and swear by his name.
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the god of the peoples who are round about you;
15 for YHVH, your god, in the midst of you is a jealous god; lest the anger of YHVH, your god, be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 "You shall not put YHVH, your god, to the test, as you tested him at Massah.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of YHVH, your god, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18 And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of YHVH, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of the good land which YHVH swore to give to your fathers
19 by thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as YHVH has promised.
