Berean Standard Bible

“be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.”

Deuteronomy 6:12

Save as image

Study note

This verse sits right after the Shema, the great call to love the Lord with all one's heart, soul, and strength. Moses then looks ahead to the land Israel will inherit, with its established cities, wells, and vineyards they did not build or plant.
