1 “Now this is athe commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess,
2 athat you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, band that your days may be prolonged.
3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may amultiply greatly bas the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—c‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’
5 aYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, bwith all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And athese words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
7 aYou shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 aYou shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
9 aYou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Caution Against Disobedience
10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He1 swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities awhich you did not build,
11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—awhen you have eaten and are full—
12 then beware, lest you forget the aLord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
