Deuteronomy 6 Summary

Deuteronomy 6 contains the Shema—‘Love the LORD your God with all your heart’—and the call to teach it to the next generation.

Moses gives the great command: ‘Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one,’ and to love him wholeheartedly. Jesus called this the greatest commandment.

Parents are to impress these words on their children, talking of them at home and away, so faith passes from generation to generation.
