Hear, O Israel: LORD our God is one LORD.

And thou shall love LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,

When thou have come into the land, which LORD thy God gives thee, thou shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

And now, Israel, what does LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

But thou shall remember LORD thy God, for it is he who gives thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as at this day.

And now, O Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.

And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lay down, and when thou rise up.

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it,

but because LORD loves you. And because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.

And thine eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Thou shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before LORD our God as he has commanded us.

Ye shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree.

Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall ha

And it shall come to pass, when LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land where thou go to possess it, that thou shall set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

For the land, where thou go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from where ye came out, where thou sowed thy seed, and watered it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs,

And there ye shall eat before LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which LORD thy God has blessed thee.

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, As I live forever,

and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
