Chapter 6
Deuteronomy Chapter 6 Expresses the Degree of Love One Has to Give to Hashem
“You Shall Do What Is Fair And Right In The Eyes Of Hashem …
For most people, they do on their own whatever seem right in their own eyes, even in matters of truth about G-d.
They do not care what G-d really said or commanded. They do whatever man told them and is convenient for them.
Learn to know, and be delivered from lies and vanities; falsehood and idol worship.
“The Shema”
“Not Succumbing to Prosperity”
“Further Trust in G-d”
“Teaching the Tradition to Children”
This is the commandment, and the decrees, and the ordinances that Hashem, your God, commanded to teach you, to perform in the Land to which you are crossing, to possess it,
6:1
so that you will fear Hashem, your God, to observe all His decrees and commandments that I command you – you, your child, and your grandchild – all the days of your life, so that your days will be lengthened.
6:2
You shall hearken, O Israel, and beware to perform, so that it will be good for you, and so that you will increase very much, as Hashem, the God of your forefathers, spoke for you – a land flowing with milk and honey.
6:3
Hear, O Israel: Hashem is our God, Hashem is the One and the Only.
:4
You shall love Hashem, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your resources.
:5
And these matters that I command you today shall be upon your heart.
:6
You shall teach them thoroughly to your children and you shall speak of them while you sit in your home, while you walk on the way, when you retire and when you arise.
:7
Bind them as a sign upon your arm and let them be ornaments between your eyes.
:8
And write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
:9
Beware for yourself lest you forget Hashem Who took you out of the land of Egypt, form the house of slavery.
:12
Hashem, your God, shall you fear, Him shall you serve, and in His Name shall you swear.
:13
You shall not follow after gods of others, of the gods of the peoples that are around you.
:14
For a jealous God is Hashem, your God, among you – lest the wrath of Hashem, your God, will flare against you and He destroy you from upon the face of the earth.
:15
You shall not test Hashem, your God, as you tested Him at Massah.
:16
You shall surely observe the commandments of Hashem, your God, and His testimonies and His decrees that He commanded you.
:17
You shall do what is fair and good in the eyes of Hashem, so that it will be good for you, …
:18
You shall say to your child, “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Hashem took us out of Egypt with a strong hand.
:21
Hashem placed signs and wonders, great and harmful, against Egypt, against Pharaoh and against his entire household, before our eyes.
:22
Hashem commanded us to perform all these decrees, to fear Hashem, our God, for our good, all the days, to give us life, as this very day.
:24
And it will be a merit for us if we are careful to perform this entire commandment before Hashem, Our God, as He commanded us.
:25
1 This is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances that the Lord, your God, commanded to teach you, to perform in the land into which you are about to pass, to possess it.
2 In order that you fear the Lord, your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments that I command you, you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life, and in order that your days may be lengthened.
3 And you shall, [therefore,] hearken, O Israel, and be sure to perform, so that it will be good for you, and so that you may increase exceedingly, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, spoke to you, a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one.
5 And you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your means.
6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart.
7 And you shall teach them to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.
8 And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for ornaments between your eyes.
9 And you shall inscribe them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
10 And it will be, when the Lord, your God, brings you to the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and good cities that you did not build,
11 and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you will eat and be satisfied.
12 Beware, lest you forget the Lord, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 You shall fear the Lord, your God, worship Him, and swear by His name.
14 Do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you.
15 For the Lord, your God, is a zealous God among you, lest the wrath of the Lord, your God, be kindled against you, and destroy you off the face of the earth.
16 You shall not try the Lord, your God, as you tried Him in Massah.
17 Diligently keep the commandments of the Lord, your God, and His testimonies. and His statutes, which He has commanded you.
18 And you shall do what is proper and good in the eyes of the Lord, in order that it may be well with you, and that you may come and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your forefathers,
19 to drive out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.
20 If your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What are the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord our God has commanded you?”
21 You shall say to your son, “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand.
22 And the Lord gave signs and wonders, great and terrible, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes.
23 And he brought us out of there, in order that He might bring us and give us the land which He swore to our fathers.
24 And the Lord commanded us to perform all these statutes, to fear the Lord, our God, for our good all the days, to keep us alive, as of this day.
25 And it will be for our merit that we keep to observe all these commandments before the Lord, our God, as He has commanded us.”

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
