Chapter 6

1

NOW these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahuah Elohaykem commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

2

That you might fear Yahuah Elohayka, to guard all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3

Hear therefore, O Yashar'el, and guard to do it; that it may be well with you, and that ye may increase mightily, as Yahuah Elohai of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

4

Hear, O Yashar'el: Yahuah Elohaynu, Yahuah is one:

5

And you shall love את Yahuah Elohayka with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

6

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

7

And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8

And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9

And you shall write them upon the posts of your house, and on your gates.

10

And it shall be, when Yahuah Elohayka shall have brought you into the land which he swore unto your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ya`aqov, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,

11

And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

12

Then beware lest you forget Yahuah, which brought you forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage.

13

You shall fear Yahuah Elohayka, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

14

Ye shall not go after other elohiym, of the elohiym of the people which are round about you;

15

(For Yahuah Elohayka is a jealous El among you) lest the anger of Yahuah Elohayka be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16

Ye shall not tempt Yahuah Elohaykem, as ye tempted him in Maccah.

17

Ye shall diligently guard the commandments of Yahuah Elohaykem, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18

And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahuah: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahuah swore unto your fathers,

19

To cast out all your enemies from before you, as Yahuah has spoken.

20

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahuah Elohaynu has commanded you?

21

Then you shall say unto your son, We were Phar'oh's bondmen in Mitsrayim; and Yahuah brought us out of Mitsrayim with a mighty hand:

22

And Yahuah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Mitsrayim, upon Phar'oh, 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 Yahuah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahuah Elohaynu, 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 guard to do all these commandments before Yahuah Elohaynu, as he has commanded us.
