⁴ “^(A)Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the ^(B)Lord is one! ⁵ And ^(C)you shall love the Lord your God ^(D)with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. ^6 (E)These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. ⁷ And ^(F)you shall repeat them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. ^8 (G)You shall also tie them as a ^[a]sign to your ^[b]hand, and they shall be as ^[c]frontlets ^[d]on your forehead. ^9 (H)You shall also write them on the ^[e]doorposts of your house and on your gates.

¹³ “And it shall come about, ^(A)if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, ^(B)to love the Lord your God and to serve Him ^(C)with all your heart and all your soul, ¹⁴ that ^[a](D)He will provide rain for your land in its season, the ^[b](E)early and ^[c]late rain, so that you may gather your grain, your new wine, and your oil. ^15 [d](F)He will also provide grass in your field for your cattle, and ^(G)you will eat and be satisfied. ^16 [e](H)Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. ¹⁷ Otherwise, ^(I)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will ^(J)shut up the sky ^(K)so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then ^(L)you will quickly perish from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

¹⁸ “^(M)You shall therefore take these words of mine to ^[f]heart and to soul; and you shall tie them as a sign on your ^[g]hand, and they shall be as ^[h]frontlets ^[i]on your forehead. ^19 (N)You shall also teach them to your sons, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. ^20 (O)And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ so that ^(P)your days and the days of your sons may be increased on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as ^[j](Q)long as the heavens are above the earth.

³⁷ The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, ³⁸ “Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them that they shall make for themselves ^(A)tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a ^[a]violet thread. ³⁹ It shall be a tassel for you ^[b]to look at and ^(B)remember all the commandments of the Lord, so that you will do them and not ^[c]follow your own heart and your own eyes, ^[d]which led you to prostitute yourselves, ⁴⁰ so that you will remember and do all My commandments and ^(C)be holy to your God. ⁴¹ I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”
