7 Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.
8 Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads.
9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.
10 The Lord your God will bring you into the land of Canaan. He took an oath. He promised he would give the land to your fathers. He promised it to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The land has large, wealthy cities you didn't build.
11 It has houses that are filled with all kinds of good things you didn't provide. It has wells you didn't dig. And it has vineyards and groves of olive trees you didn't plant. You will have plenty to eat.
12 But be careful that you don't forget the Lord. Remember that he brought you out of Egypt. That's the land where you were slaves.
13 Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve. When you make promises, take your oaths in his name.
