–Dabariym [deuteronomy] 6:4 His Name Tanakh**
Bemidbar [numbers] 15: 37 - 41:
37. ויאמר יהוה אל־משה לאמר
37. יהוה said, looking toward, Moshe, saying this careful arrangement of words and commands:
38. דבר אל־בני ישראל ואמרת אלהם ועשו להם ציצת על־כנפי בגדיהם לדרתם ונתנו על־ציצת הכנף פתיל תכלת
38. Speak with the sons, the lineage, of Yisra'el and say among them: do this and make tsiytsith, so to experience the staff of knowledge, in the wings, as a mother bird hides its young in her wings, of their garments in all their generations, and put, so as to consecrate, so to experience the staff of knowledge, on the tsiytsith, as a mother bird hides its young in her wings, a cord made of twisted fibers of blue:
39. והיה לכם לציצת וראיתם אתו וזכרתם את־כל־מצות יהוה ועשיתם אתם ולא־תתורו אחרי לבבכם ואחרי עיניכם אשר־אתם זנים אחריהם
39. And it shall exist and have breath to you for tsiytsith that you might see and perceive to remember in thought as a memorial and through speech the whole of all the mitzvah (commandments, precepts, laws, ordinances) of יהוה and do them; and that you do not meander in the mark of man nor after your own authority inside your own heart and mental and spiritual faculties after which you once committed idolatrous adultery.
40. למען תזכרו ועשתם את־כל־מצותי והייתם קדשׁים לאלהיכם
40. To watch over and intently remember in thought as a memorial and through speech and do all My mitzvah (commandments, precepts, laws, ordinances) and exist and have breath, Qadowsh- set apart from the rest for a special function to your ‘Elohiym.
41. אני יהוה אלהיכם אשר הוצאתי אתכם מארץ מצרים להיות לכם לאלהים אני יהוה אלהיכם
41. I am יהוה your ‘Elohiym, Who brought you, even you, out from the land of Mitsrayim to exist and to breathe as your ‘Elohiym. I am יהוה your ‘Elohiym!

3. ושמעת ישראל ושמרת לעשות אשר ייטב לך ואשר תרבון מאד כאשר דבר יהוה אלהי אבתיך לך ארץ זבת חלב ודבש
3. Hear intelligently with attention and interest, comprehend and obey, O Yisra'el, to keep, guard and observe to do after this fashion that it will be well and pleasing to you, that you may become great and numerous in might force and abundance as יהוה 'Elohiym of your Fathers, has declared and promised to you, in the country and territory that flows with milk and abundance and honey.

4. Hear intelligently with attention and interest, comprehend and obey, O Yisra'el, יהוה our 'Elohiym is יהוה alone!

6. והיו הדברים האלה אשר אנכי מצוך היום על־לבבך
6. And these words which I am commanding you today shall exist in your inner part, mind, will, heart and soul;
7. ושננתם לבניך ודברת בם בשבתך בביתך ובלכתך בדרך ובשכבך ובקומך
7. Whet, sharpen, inculcate– say over and over to your sons and carefully arrange the words or commands and speak of them with one another when you return to your dwelling place where one sits and when you walk in your way, road and course of life or mode of action and when you lie down for copulation, rest or sleep and when you rise up to maintain oneself or become powerful.
8. וקשרתם לאות על־ידך והיו לטטפת בין עיניך

9. וכתבתם על־מזזות ביתך ובשעריך

Dabariym [deuteronomy] 11:13 - 21:
13. והיה אם־שמע תשמעו אל־מצותי אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם היום לאהבה את־ יהוה אלהיכם ולעבדו בכל־לבבכם ובכל־נפשכם
13. It shall exist and have breath if you carefully hear intelligently, with attention and interest, as well as respond appropriately in obedience and action, looking toward My mitsvah (commandment, precept, law, ordinance) which I constitute and enjoin day, time, and year continually, to have affection for יהוה the self-entity, your ‘Elohiym, and to serve with the whole of your inner soul, mind and heart, and with the whole of your nephesh– yourself, life, appetite, living-being, desire, emotion, passion and with the whole of your might, force and abundance!
14. ונתתי מטר־ארצכם בעתו יורה ומלקוש ואספת דגנך ותירשך ויצהרך
14. I will give, cause, deliver and appoint the rain of your land and territory in its time and season the early sprinkling and the latter spring rain for gathering your increase and freshly pressed wine and oil.
15. ונתתי עשב בשדך לבהמתך ואכלת ושבעת
15. I will give, cause, deliver and appoint the grasses and herbs of your fields for your cattle, that you might eat and become whole, satisfied and satiated.
16. השמרו לכם פן יפתה לבבכם וסרתם ועבדתם אלהים אחרים והשתחויתם להם
16. Hedge about, as with thorns, guard, protect and attend to yourselves and turn your face, that your thoughts and emotion are not enticed, deceived, persuaded, flattered or lured and you turn aside and depart from My way and path and become bound by following after other gods to pay homage to them.
17. וחרה אף־יהוה בכם ועצר את־השמים ולא־יהיה מטר והאדמה לא תתן את־ יבולה ואבדתם מהרה מעל הארץ הטבה אשר יהוה נתן לכם
17. And יהוה's passion and anger burn hot on you and He withhold and restrain the sky, the place of the winds, and there exits and breathes no rain and the ground does not yield or deliver its growth of fruits and crops and you wander alone and lost from the knowledge and experience of the properly functioning earth which יהוה gave and put you on.
18. ושמתם את־דברי אלה על־לבבכם ועל־נפשכם וקשרתם אתם לאות על־ידכם והיו לטוטפת בין עיניכם
18. You shall store up and look toward My carefully arranged words and commands to experience the staff of knowledge and experience in your inner man, mind, will, heart the seat of thought and emotion, and nephesh– yourself, life, appetite, living-being, desire, emotion, passion ; and bind them fast as a distinguishing mark of agreement and covenant upon your hands, to exist and breathe as a mark of distinction between your eyes.
19. ולמדתם אתם את־בניכם לדבר בם בשבתך בביתך ובלכתך בדרך ובשכבך ובקומך
19. And you shall goad your sons toward this mark and destination and carefully arrange the words or commands and speak of them with one another when you return to your dwelling place where one sits and when you walk in your way, road and course of life or mode of action and when you lie down for copulation, rest or sleep and when you rise up to maintain oneself or become powerful.
20. וכתבתם על־מזוזות ביתך ובשעריך
20. You shall write, inscribe, or engrave them to experience the staff of knowledge and experience on the door posts of your dwelling place and your gates of entrance into the cities, markets and meeting places,
21. למען ירבו ימיכם וימי בניכם על האדמה אשר נשבע יהוה לאבתיכם לתת להם כימי השמים על־הארץ
21. To the intent and purpose of your days, years and time become great abundance of number, strength and authority and the days, years and time of your sons also, in the land, territory and country which יהוה swore seven times to your fathers to deliver, grant, and appoint as the days, years and time of the sky, the place of the winds, upon the whole earth!
Dabariym [deuteronomy] 6:4 Extended
THESE are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which יהוה your 'Elohiym commanded to teach you that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;
2. That you might fear יהוה your 'Elohiym, to keep all his statutes and His commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3. Hear intelligently with attention and interest, comprehend and obey, O Yisra'el, to keep, guard and observe to do after this fashion that it will be well and pleasing to you that you may become great and numerous in might force and abundance as יהוה 'Elohiym of Fathers, has declared and promised to you, in the country and territory that flows with the milk of abundance and honey.
4. Hear intelligently with attention and interest, comprehend and obey, O Yisra'el: יהוה our 'Elohiym is יהוה alone!
5. And you shall have affection for יהוה the self-entity, your 'Elohiym, with the whole of your inner soul, mind and heart, and with your nephesh– yourself, life, appetite, living-being, desire, emotion, passion and with the whole of your might, force and abundance!
6. And these words which I am commanding you today shall exist in your inner part, mind, will, heart and soul;
7. Whet, sharpen, inculcate– say over and over to your sons and carefully arrange the words or commands and speak of them with one another when you return to your dwelling place where one sits and when you walk in your way, road and course of life or mode of action and when you lie down for copulation, rest or sleep and when you rise up to maintain oneself or become powerful.
8. You shall bind them as a sign or distinguishing mark and remembrance of agreement in your hands and as a mark of distinction between your eyes, as if watching over something important.
9. You shall write, inscribe, or engrave them, so to experience the staff of knowledge and comprehension on the door posts of your dwelling place and your gates of entrance into the cities, markets and meeting places.
10. And it will be, when יהוה your 'Elohiym will bring you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to 'Abraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ya'aqob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
11. And houses full of all right things, which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which you did not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which you did not plant, and you will eat and be full;
12. Then beware lest you forget יהוה, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
13. You will fear and be in dread of and revere יהוה your 'Elohiym and serve him and you shall make an oath of seven declarations by his name, character and breath.
14. You will not go after other gods, of the gods of the people that are all around you;
15. For יהוה your 'Elohiym in the midst of you is a jealous 'Elohiym; lest the anger of יהוה your 'Elohiym be kindled against you, and He destroys you from off the face of the earth.
16. You will not tempt, the self-entity, יהוה your 'Elohiym, as you tempted Him in Maççah.
17. You will hedge about as with thorns, guard, protect and attend to the commands of יהוה your 'Elohiym, and to his testimonies, enactments and appointments, which He has constituted and enjoined to you.
18. You will do what is straight and right in the eyes of יהוה; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the right land which יהוה swore to your fathers,
19. To thrust out all your enemies from before you, as יהוה has spoken.
20. When your son asks you in time to come, saying: what mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which יהוה 'Elohiym has commanded you?
21. Then you will say to your son, we were Par'oh's bondmen and slaves in Mitsrayim: and יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim with a mighty hand;
22. And יהוה showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Mitsrayim, upon Par'oh, and upon his entire house, before our eyes;
23. And He brought us out from there that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.
24. And יהוה commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear יהוה 'Elohiym, for our right always that He might preserve us alive, as at this day.
25. And it will be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before the face of יהוה 'Elohiym, as He has commanded us.
