translation JPSA, 2008 pocket edition
And this is the Instruction -
the Laws and the Rules -
that the Lord your God has
commanded [me] to impart to you,
to b observed in the land that
you are about to cross into
and occupy, so that you, your
children, and your children's
children may revere the Lord
your God and follow, as long as
you live, all his laws and
commandments that I enjoin upon you,
to the end that you may long endure.
Obey, o Israel, willingly and faithfully,
that it may go well with and that you
may increase greatly [in] a land
flowing with milk and honey, as the
Lord, the God of your fathers, spoke to
you.
Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God,
the Lord alone. You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all
might. Take to
heart all these instructions with which
I charge you this day. Impress them
upon your children. Recite them when
you stay at home and when you are away,
when you lie down and when you get up.
Bind them as a sign upon your hand
and let them serve as a symbol on your
forehead; inscribe them on the doorposts
of your house and on your gates.
