1. `And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
2. so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
3. `And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4. `Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
5. and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
6. and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7. and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8. and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
9. and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
