Deuteronômio 6:2-6 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:1-3

Observe here, 1. That Moses taught the people all that, and that only, which God commanded him to teach them, Deut. 6:1. Thus Christ's ministers are to teach his churches all that he has commanded, and neither more nor less, Matt. 28:20. 2. That the end of their being taught was that they might do as they were taught (Deut. 6:1), might keep God's statutes (Deut. 6:2), and observe to do them, Deut. 6:3. Good instructions from parents and ministers will but aggravate our condemnation if we do... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:4-16

Here is, I. A brief summary of religion, containing the first principles of faith and obedience, Deut. 6:4, 5. These two verses the Jews reckon one of the choicest portions of scripture: they write it in their phylacteries, and think themselves not only obliged to say it at least twice every day, but very happy in being so obliged, having this saying among them, Blessed are we, who every morning and evening say, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. But more blessed are we if we duly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:2

That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God ,.... Being taught to know the greatness of his being, and the nature of his mind and will, and the manner of his worship; and not with a slavish fear, but with a filial one, a reverential affection for God; being instructed in their duty, as of children, to their God and Father; see Deuteronomy 5:29 . to keep all his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee ; not in his own name, but in the name, and by the authority of God, whose... read more

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it ,.... Or them, the commandments given them: that it may be well with thee ; in body and estate: and that ye may increase mightily ; not only in wealth and riches, but chiefly in numbers: as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee ; a promise of increase of numbers was frequently made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; as that their seed should be as the stars of heaven, and as the dust of the earth, and the sand on the sea shore,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel ,.... These are the words of Moses, stirring up the people to an attention to what he was about to say of this great and momentous article, the unity of God, to prevent their going into polytheism and idolatry. From one of the words here used, the Jews call this section Kiriathshema, which they oblige themselves to read twice a day, morning and evening F14 Mist. Beracot, c. 1. sect. 1, 2. ; the last letter of the first word in this verse, "Shema", meaning "hear", and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:5

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God ,.... Which is the first and chief commandment in the law, the sum and substance of the first table of it; and includes in it, or at least has connected with it, knowledge of God, esteem of him, delight in him, faith and trust in him, fear and worship of him, and obedience to him, which when right springs from it. God is to be loved because of the perfections of his nature, and the works of his hand, of nature, providence, and grace; and because of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:6

And these words, which I command thee this day ,.... To hearken to, observe, and take notice of, that God is one, and is to be loved in the strongest manner that possibly can be: shall be in thine heart ; on the table of the heart, as the Targum of Jonathan; see 2 Corinthians 3:3 , be cordially received, have a place in the affections of the heart, and be retained in mind and memory. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:2

That thou mightest fear the Lord - Respect his sovereign authority as a lawgiver, and ever feel thyself bound to obey him. No man can walk either conscientiously or safely who has not the fear of God continually before his eyes. When this is gone, more than a guardian angel is fled. Thou, and thy son, and thy son's son - Through all thy successive generations. Whoever fears God will endeavor to bring up his children in the way of righteousness, that they also may fear God, and that pure... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:3

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it - Literally, Ye shall hear, O Israel, and thou shalt keep to do them. God is to be heard; no obligation without law to found it on, and no law in religion but from God. The commandment must be understood in order to be obeyed. It must be observed - attentively considered, in order to be understood. And, It must be performed, that the end for which it was given may be accomplished, viz., that God may be glorified, and that it may be well... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel - אחד יהוה אלהינו יהוה ישראל שמע shema Yisrael , Yehovah Eloheinu , Yehovah achad . These words may be variously rendered into English; but almost all possible verbal varieties in the translation (and there can be none other) amount to the same sense: "Israel, hear! Jehovah, our God, is one Jehovah;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah is one;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah alone;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah who is one;" or, "Jehovah, who is our God, is the one... read more
