Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead.

Deuteronomy 7:4-6
because they will turn your sons away from Me to worship other gods. Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn up their carved images.For you are a holy people belonging to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be His own possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

Psalms 19:7-11
The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up.The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous.They are more desirable than gold— than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey, which comes from the honeycomb.In addition, Your servant is warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.

Deuteronomy 10:1-12
“ The Lord said to me at that time,‘ Cut two stone tablets like the first ones and come to Me on the mountain and make a wooden ark.I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets you broke, and you are to place them in the ark.’So I made an ark of acacia wood, cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and climbed the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.Then on the day of the assembly, the Lord wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain from the fire. The Lord gave them to me,and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made. And they have remained there, as the Lord commanded me.”The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his place.They traveled from there to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.“ At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the Lord’s covenant, to stand before Yahweh to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as it is today.For this reason, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance like his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God told him.“ I stayed on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights like the first time. The Lord also listened to me on this occasion; He agreed not to annihilate you.Then the Lord said to me,‘ Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to give their fathers.’“ And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you except to fear the Lord your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul?
