Deuteronomy 6:8-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

9. And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

10. And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

11. Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

12. And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

13. Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

14. You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

15. Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

16. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

17. Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

18. And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

19. That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

20. And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

21. Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.
