1 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

2 tn Heb “to walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV); NAB “follow his ways exactly”; NLT “to live according to his will.”

3 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

4 tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being”; NCV “with your whole being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

5 tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

6 tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.

7 tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”
