SHEMA YISRAEL
----------------
(Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
HEAR, O ISRAEL, HASHEM IS OUR G-D, HASHEM IS ONE.
(Blessed be his name and glorious sovereignty for ever and ever.)
And you shall love Hashem, your G-d, with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your might. And these words which
I command you this day shall be upon your heart. And you shall
teach them diligently unto your children, speaking of them when
you sittest in your house and when you walkest by the way, when
your liest down and when you risest up. And you shall bind them
for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between
thine eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your
house and upon your gates.
(Deuteronomy 11:13-21)
And it shall be that if you hearken diligently unto My
commandments which I command you today, to love Hashem your G-d
and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul, then I
will send rain for your land in its proper time, the autumn rain
and the spring rain, that you may gather in your grain, your wine
and your oil. And I will give grass in your field for your cattle
and you shall eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves lest
your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods
and bow to them. For then Hashem's wrath will be kindled against
you, and He will close up the heavens that there be no rain, and
land shall not yield her produce, and you shall perish quickly
from off the goodly land which Hashem gives you. You shall lay
My words, these upon your heart and upon your soul, and you shall
bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between your eyes. And you shall teach them to your
children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you
walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up. And you
shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your
gates. So that Hashem will lengthen your days and the days of
your children upon the land which Hashem promised to give to your
fathers, as the days of the heavens above the earth,
(Numbers 15:37-41)
And Hashem spoke unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children
of Israel and say to them to make for themselves a fringe on the
borders of their garments, throughout their generations. And they
shall place upon the fringe of the border, a thread of blue wool.
And it shall be to you a fringe that you may look upon, and
remember all the commandments of Hashem and to do them. Then
shall you not stray after your heart and your eyes whereafter you
are wont to stray. So may you remember and do all My commandments
and be holy for your G-d. I am Hashem your G-d who brought you
out of the land of Egypt to be your G-d; I am Hashem your G-d.
