Now 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:
02 That 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.
03 Hear 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.
04 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one
Lord:
05 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy might.
06 And these words, which I command thee
this day, shall be in thine heart:
07 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.
08 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon
thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
09 And thou shalt write them upon the posts
of thy house, and on thy gates.
10 And 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,
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 Lord,
which brought thee forth out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 Thou shalt fear the Lord 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 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.
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as
ye tempted him in Massah.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the
commandments of the Lord 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 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.
19 To cast out all thine enemies from
before thee, as the Lord 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 Lord our
God hath commanded you?
21 Then 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:
22 And the Lord 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 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.
25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we
observe to do all these commandments before the
Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
