Love the LORD Your God

1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear¹ the LORD your God as long as you live² by keeping all his decrees and commands³ that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.⁴ 3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey⁵ so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly⁶ in a land flowing with milk and honey,⁷ just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised⁸ you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.^a⁹ 5 Love¹⁰ the LORD your God with all your heart¹¹ and with all your soul and with all your strength.¹² 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.¹³ 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.¹⁴ 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.¹⁵ 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.¹⁶
