6:1 And 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.
6:2 That 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.
6:3 Hear, 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.
6:4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy
soul, and all thy strength.
6:6 And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart
and in thy soul.
6:7 And 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.
6:8 And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be
immoveable before thine eyes.
6:9 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
6:10 And 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 cities which thou didst not build,
6:11 houses full of all good things which 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,
6:12 beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
6:13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve; and
thou shalt cleave to him, and by his name thou shalt swear.
6:14 Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;
6:15 for 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.
6:16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as ye tempted him in the
temptation.
6:17 Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God, the
testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded thee.
6:18 And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy
God, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and inherit
the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
6:19 to chase all thine enemies from before thy face, as the Lord said.
6:20 And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee at a future time,
saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments,
which the Lord our God has commanded us?
6:21 Then shalt thou say to thy son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of
Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a
high arm.
6:22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on
Pharao and on his house before us.
6:23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to
give to our fathers.
6:24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the
Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as
even to-day.
6:25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these
commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us. |
6:1 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:
6:2 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.
6:3 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.
6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy might.
6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
6:7 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.
6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be
as frontlets between thine eyes.
6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
6:10 And 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,
6:11 And 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;
6:12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his
name.
6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are
round about you;
6:15 (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.
6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his
testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
6:18 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 sware unto thy fathers.
6:19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath
spoken.
6:20 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?
6:21 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:
6:22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give
us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
6:24 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.
6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these
commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us. |
