1And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it.
1Now 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:
2That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days .
2That 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.
3Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
3Hear 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.
4Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

5And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.
5And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.
6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

8And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes.
8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and beautiful citieswhich thou didst not build,
10And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
11houses full of all good thingswhich thou didst not fill, wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
11And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
12beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

14Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
15for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
