Deuteronomy 6:10-25 - Remembering God Through Obedience

¹⁰ So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build; ¹¹ and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, - and shalt eat and be full, ¹² take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, - who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants. ¹³ Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, - And by his name, shalt thou swear. ¹⁴ Ye shall not go after other gods, - of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you; ¹⁵ for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, - lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground. ¹⁶ Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, - as ye put him to the proof in Massah that is, "The place of proving" . ¹⁷ Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers; ¹⁹ to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, - As spake Yahweh.

²⁰ When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, - What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you? ²¹ Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, - and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand; ²² and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes; ²³ but he brought us forth from thence, - that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers. ²⁴ So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, - for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive as at this day; ²⁵ and righteousness, shall it he to us, - when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
