⁶ And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be [first] in your [own] minds and hearts; [then]

⁷ You shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the [minds and] hearts of 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 And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets (forehead bands) between your eyes.

⁹ And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

¹⁹ And now write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites.

³⁰ And Moses spoke in the hearing of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were ended:

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, but we will tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonderful works that He has performed.

⁵ For He established a testimony (an express precept) in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, commanding our fathers that they should make [the great facts of God’s dealings with Israel] known to their children,

⁶ That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children,

⁷ That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandments

¹² Marvelous things did He in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided].

¹³ He divided the [Red] Sea and caused them to pass through it, and He made the waters stand like a heap.^(A)

¹⁴ In the daytime also He led them with a [pillar of] cloud and all the night with a light of fire.^(B)

⁴⁶ He said to them, Set your [minds and] hearts on all the words which I command you this day, that you may command them to your children, that they may be watchful to do all the words of this law.
