2That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee today, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days.

— Deuteronomy 6:4 —
5And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.
6And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.
