Deuteronomy 6:1-15 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land whereunto ye pass over to possess it,

2. that thou mayest fear Jehovah 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.

3. And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4. Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;

5. and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.

6. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;

7. and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8. And thou shalt bind them for a sign on thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

10. And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee: great and good cities which thou buildedst not,

11. and houses full of everything good which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt have eaten and shalt be full;

12. then beware lest thou forget Jehovah who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13. Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;

15. for Jehovah thy God is a jealous ·God in thy midst; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from the face of the earth.
