And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 6 of Deuteronomy. The great commandment calls Israel to love the Lord with all its heart, soul, and strength. The law is not reduced to an external set of rules: it must occupy memory, family conversation, and daily life. The Shema combines theological confession with daily practice, commanding that Israel’s identity as the people of the one God determine its entire existence.

und sollst sie deinen Kindern einschärfen und davon reden, wenn du in deinem Hause sitzest oder auf dem Wege gehst, wenn du dich niederlegst oder aufstehst,
Y las repetirás a tus hijos, y hablarás de ellas estando en tu casa, y andando por el camino, y al acostarte, y cuando te levantes:
Tu les inculqueras à tes enfants, et tu en parleras quand tu seras dans ta maison, quand tu iras en voyage, quand tu te coucheras et quand tu te lèveras.
e inculcale a’ tuoi figliuoli, e ragionane quando tu sarai a sedere in casa tua, e quando tu camminerai per via, e quando tu giacerai, e quando tu ti leverai.
E as ensinarás a teus filhos e delas falarás assentado em tua casa, e andando pelo caminho, e deitando-te e levantando-te.
也要殷勤教導你的兒女。無論你坐在家裏,走在路上,躺下,起來,都要吟誦。
