These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 6

 1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land you go to possess:

 

2 That you might fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

 

3 Hear, therefore, O God Prevails (Israel)and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the I AM LORD God (Yehovah-Elohyim) of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

 

4 Hear, O God Prevails (Israel): I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God (‘Elohiym) is one I AM (Lord):

 

5 You shall love I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

 

6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

 

7 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 up.

 

8 You shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

 

9 You shall write them upon the posts of your house and on your gates.

 

10 It shall be, when I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) shall have brought you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob), to give you great and goodly cities, which you did not build,

 

11 With houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and wells you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, and which you did not plant. When you shall have eaten and are full;

 

12 Then beware lest you forget I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), which brought you forth out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt), from the house of bondage.

 

13 You shall fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), and serve Him, and shall swear by His name.

 

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

 

15 (For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) is a jealous God (‘Elohiym) among you) lest the anger of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) be kindled against you and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

 

16 You shall not tempt I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), as you tempted him in Temptation (Massah).

 

17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He has commanded you.

 

18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) swore to your fathers.

 

19 To cast out all your enemies from before you, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has spoken.

 

20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying: What is the meaning of the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God (‘Elohiym) has commanded you?

 

21 Then you shall say to your son: We were Great House’s (Pharaoh) bondmen in Double Straights (Egypt), and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought us out of Double Straights (Egypt) with a mighty hand:

 

22 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) showed signs and wonders, great and devastating, on Double Straights (Egypt), upon Great House (Pharaoh), and upon all his household, before our eyes:

 

23 He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.

 

24 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God (‘Elohiym), for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

 

25 It shall be our righteousness if we observe to do all these commandments before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God (‘Elohiym), as He has commanded us.
