Deuteronomy 6:9-25 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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

10. It shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build,

11. and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

12. then beware lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13. You shall fear the Lord your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

14. You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;

15. for the Lord your God amongst you is a jealous God; lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16. You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

17. You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18. You shall do that which is right and good in the Lord’s sight; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

19. to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.

20. When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord our God has commanded you mean?”

21. then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

22. and the Lord showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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

24. 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 we are today.

25. It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.”
