1. Now these the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which יְהוָ֥ה your Elohim commanded to teach you, that ye might do in the land whither ye go to possess it:

2. That thou mightest fear יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, 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; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as יְהוָ֥ה Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4. Hear, O Israel: יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim one יְהוָ֥ה:

5. And thou shalt love יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim 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 יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim 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, 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. beware lest thou forget יְהוָ֥ה, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13. Thou shalt fear יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which round about you;

15. (For יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim a jealous Elohim among you) lest the anger of יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16. Ye shall not tempt יְהוָ֥ה your Elohim, as ye tempted in Massah.

17. Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of יְהוָ֥ה your Elohim, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

18. And thou shalt do right and good in the sight of יְהוָ֥ה: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which יְהוָ֥ה sware unto thy fathers,

19. To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as יְהוָ֥ה hath spoken.

20. when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim hath commanded you?

21. Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and יְהוָ֥ה brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22. And יְהוָ֥ה 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 יְהוָ֥ה commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

25. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim, as he hath commanded us.
