Teach them to your children,  talking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

‘Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol  on your foreheads.

‘If you carefully obey my commands I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and worship him with all your heart and all your soul, I  will provide rain for your land in the proper time, the autumn and spring rains,  and you will harvest your grain, new wine, and fresh oil.

‘Therefore, love the LORD your God and always keep his mandate and his statutes, ordinances, and commands.

‘Look, today I set before you a blessing and a curse:  there will be a blessing, if you obey the commands of the LORD your God I am giving you today, and a curse, if you do not obey the commands of the LORD your God and you turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods you have not known.

Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates,  so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors.

Be careful  that you are not enticed to turn aside, serve, and bow in worship to other gods.
