Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 6:4 Or The Lord our God is one Lord; or The Lord is our God, the Lord is one; or The Lord is our God, the Lord alone

He decreed statutes(A) for Jacob(B)
    and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
    to teach their children,
so the next generation would know them,
    even the children yet to be born,(C)
    and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God
    and would not forget(D) his deeds
    but would keep his commands.(E)
They would not be like their ancestors(F)

whose hearts were not loyal to God,
    whose spirits were not faithful to him.
