The Commandment to Love Yahweh

6 “Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the judgments, which Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, that you might do it in the land where you are going over to possess it, ² so that you and your son and your grandson might ^(A)fear Yahweh your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you, ^(B)all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. ³ O Israel, you shall listen and ^[a]be careful to do it, that ^(C)it may be well with you and that you may multiply greatly, just as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in ^(D)a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴ “^(E)Hear, O Israel! ^[b]Yahweh is our God, ^(F)Yahweh is one! ^5 (G)You shall love Yahweh your God ^(H)with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. ^6 (I)These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. ^7 (J)You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. ^8 (K)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as ^[c]phylacteries between your eyes. ^9 (L)You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

³⁹ And she had a sister called ^(A)Mary, who was also ^(B)seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.
