4 ^a“Hear, O Israel:¹ The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

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.

13 You shall ^afear the Lord your God and serve Him, and ^bshall take oaths in His name.

14 You shall not go after other gods, ^athe gods of the peoples who are all around you
