⁴ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.^{[a](A) 5} Love^(B) the Lord your God with all your heart^(C) and with all your soul and with all your strength.^{(D) 6} These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.^{(E) 7} Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.^{(F) 8} Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.^{(G) 9} Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.^(H)

¹³ So if you faithfully obey^(A) the commands I am giving you today—to love^(B) the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul^(C)— ¹⁴ then I will send rain^(D) on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains,^(E) so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. ¹⁵ I will provide grass^(F) in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.^(G)

¹⁶ Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.^{(H) 17} Then the Lord’s anger^(I) will burn against you, and he will shut up^(J) the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,^(K) and you will soon perish^(L) from the good land the Lord is giving you. ¹⁸ Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.^{(M) 19} Teach them to your children,^(N) talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.^{(O) 20} Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,^{(P) 21} so that your days and the days of your children may be many^(Q) in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.^(R)
