Deuteronomy 6:1 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:1

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the
judgments
Not the ten commandments repeated in the preceding chapter, but all others, whether moral, ceremonial, or judicial, afterwards declared; for what Moses now did was only to give a repetition and fresh declaration of such laws as he had before received, and delivered to the people; and so the Targum of Jonathan thus paraphrases this clause,

``this is a declaration of the commandments, statutes, and judgments:''

which the Lord your God commanded to teach you;
that is, which he commanded him, Moses, to teach them, though not fully expressed, as may be learned from ( Deuteronomy 4:1 Deuteronomy 4:5 ) ( 5:31 )

that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it;
this is often observed, to imprint upon their minds a sense of their duty, even of obedience to the laws of God, which they were carefully and diligently to perform in the land of Canaan they were going into, and by which they were to hold their possession of it.

Deuteronomy 6:1 In-Context

1 These are the commands, laws, and rules the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. Obey them after you enter the land and take possession of it.

2 As long as you live, you, your children, and your grandchildren must fear the LORD your God. All of you must obey all his laws and commands that I'm giving you, and you will live a long time.

3 Listen, Israel, and be careful to obey these laws. Then things will go well for you and your population will increase in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD God of your ancestors promised you.

4 Listen, Israel: The LORD is our God. The LORD is the only God.

5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
