Deuteronomy 6 (WEBP)

[1] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
[2] that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
[3] Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
[4] Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.
[5] You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
[6] These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;
[7] and you shall teach them diligently to 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] You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
[9] You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
[10] It shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
[11] and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;
[12] then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[13] You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
[14] You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
[15] for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
[16] You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
[17] You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
[18] You shall do that which is right and good in Yahweh’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,
[19] to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
[20] When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”
[21] then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
[22] and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
[23] and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
[24] Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.
[25] It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

Young’s Literal Translation

Deuteronomy 6 (YLT)

[1] ‘And this is the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
[2] so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
[3] ‘And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, in the land flowing with milk and honey.
[4] ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;
[5] and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
[6] and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
[7] and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
[8] and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
[9] and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
[10] ‘And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee-cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
[11] and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
[12] ‘Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
[13] Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
[14] ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you;
[15] for a zealous God is Jehovah thy God in thy midst-lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
[16] ‘Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
[17] ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
[18] and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
[19] to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
[20] ‘When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
[21] then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
[22] and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
[23] and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
[24] And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as at this day;
[25] and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
