Instructions Say the Shema with deep concentration, above all the opening two verses wherein we accept the sovereignty of God. Recite the first verse aloud, covering your eyes with your right hand. Instructions Do not slur over the ח; rather, prolong it slightly for as long as it takes to declare God's sovereignty throughout the seven heavens and upon earth—matching eight, the numerical value of ח. The ד (whose numerical value is four) should be prolonged for as long as it takes to reflect that God stands alone in His world and rules the four corners of the universe. While saying the Shema, pause at the commas to convey this meaning: Hear O Israel (pause), the Lord who is our God (pause) is the one God. See further laws on page 588. Instructions Transliteration appears on page 624.

And I will put grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated. Beware lest your heart be drawn aside, and you stray to worship alien gods and bow down to them.
