| 5
|
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength. |
| 6
|
And these words, which I command you today shall be in your heart. |
| 7
|
and you must inculcate them in your son and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you rise up; |
| 8
|
and bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes, |
| 9

and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn [stone], which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be satisfied, |

Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. |

|
The LORD your God, fear, and to Him [alone] you shall serve, and swear by his name. |

Do not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; |
| 15
|

| 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 there to bring us in and give us the land which he swore to our fathers [to give us]; |
| 24
|
and the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, so it was good to us all the days, in order to save our lives, as it is now; |
| 25
|
and it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us. " |
