3. Listen, Israel, and carefully obey these laws. Then all will go well for you, and you will become a great nation in a fertile land, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you.
4. Listen, people of Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.
5. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
6. Always remember these commands I give you today.
7. Teach them to your children, and talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8. Write them down and tie them to your hands as a sign. Tie them on your forehead to remind you,
9. and write them on your doors and gates.
10. The Lord your God will bring you into the land he promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he will give it to you. The land has large, growing cities you did not build,
11. houses full of good things you did not buy, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees you did not plant. You will eat as much as you want.
12. But be careful! Do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves.
13. Respect the Lord your God. You must worship him and make your promises only in his name.
14. Do not worship other gods as the people around you do,
