Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it,

2 that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart;

7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.

8 And thou shalt bind them as a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and on thy gates.

10 "And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities which thou built not,

11 and houses full of all good things which thou filled not, and wells dug which thou dug not, vineyards and olive trees which thou planted not, when thou shalt have eaten and be full,

12 then beware lest thou forget the LORD who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve Him, and shalt swear by His name.

14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people who are round about you

15 (for the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 "Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted Him in Massah.

17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee.

18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers,

19 to cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

20 "And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, `What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which the LORD our God hath commanded you?'

21 then thou shalt say unto thy son: `We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;

23 and He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers.

24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He hath commanded us.'

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

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.

6 Take to heart these words that I give you today.

7 Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you're at home or away, when you lie down or get up.

8 [Write them down, and] tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.

9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

10 The LORD your God will bring you into the land and give it to you, as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This land will have large, prosperous cities that you didn't build.

11 Your houses will be filled with all kinds of things that you didn't put there. You will have cisterns that you didn't dig and vineyards and olive trees that you didn't plant. After you have eaten all that you want,

12 be careful that you don't forget the LORD, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.

13 You must fear the LORD your God, serve him, and take your oaths only in his name.

14 Never worship any of the gods worshiped by the people around you.

15 If you do, the LORD your God will become very angry with you and will wipe you off the face of the earth, because the LORD your God, who is with you, is a God who does not tolerate rivals.

16 Never test the LORD your God as you did at Massah.

17 Be sure to obey the commands of the LORD your God and the regulations and laws he has given you.

18 Do what the LORD considers right and good. Then things will go well for you, and you will enter and take possession of that good land which the LORD promised to your ancestors with an oath.

19 You will see the LORD expel your enemies as he said he would.

20 In the future your children will ask you, "What do these regulations, laws, and rules which the LORD our God commanded you mean to you?"

21 Tell them, "We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, but the LORD used his mighty hand to bring us out of there.

22 Right before our eyes the LORD did miraculous signs and amazing things that were spectacular but terrible for Egypt, Pharaoh, and his whole family.

23 The LORD led us out of there to bring us here and give us this land he promised to our ancestors with an oath.

24 The LORD our God commanded us to obey all these laws and to fear him. These laws are for our own good as long as we live so that he will preserve our lives. It's still true today.

25 This is how we'll have the LORD's approval: If we faithfully obey all these laws in the presence of the LORD our God, as he has commanded us."
