Deuteronomy 6:1 — Meaning and Application

Now these {are} the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do {them} in the land whither ye go to possess it: {go: Heb. pass over}

That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do {it}; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
