3 Listen, Israel, and carefully obey these laws. Then all will go well for you, and you will become a great nation in a fertile land, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you.
4 Listen, people of Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.
5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
6 Always remember these commands I give you today.
7 Teach them to your children, and talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Write them down and tie them to your hands as a sign. Tie them on your forehead to remind you,
9 and write them on your doors and gates.
