You should &lt;b&gt;teach&lt;/b&gt; Torah &lt;b&gt;to your children&lt;/b&gt; and to disciples until they master it sufficiently to reply to every inquiry concerning it. &lt;b&gt;You should&lt;/b&gt; occupy yourself with Torah&apos;s words and &lt;b&gt;speak them&lt;/b&gt; at every chance: &lt;b&gt;as you dwell in your house, as you travel on the way, as you lie down&lt;/b&gt; by night, &lt;b&gt;and when you arise&lt;/b&gt; at dawn. These phrases, the Shema&apos;s phrases, are to be inscribed in tefillin. &lt;b&gt;You should tie&lt;/b&gt; the hand-tefillin &lt;b&gt;on your arm as a sign&lt;/b&gt; that you recall God, &lt;b&gt;and&lt;/b&gt; the head-tefillin is to rest upon your head, over the region &lt;b&gt;between your eyes.&lt;/b&gt; You should &lt;b&gt;write&lt;/b&gt; these Shema phrases upon mezuzot, which you are to affix &lt;b&gt;upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.&lt;/b&gt;</english>

          <english>God declares to the Jewish Nation in the Torah: &lt;b&gt;It will be&lt;/b&gt; that &lt;b&gt;if you listen&lt;/b&gt; to Me and observe every one of &lt;b&gt;My&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; precepts that I am commanding you today,&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;b&gt;cherish the Lord, your God, and to serve Him&lt;/b&gt; through fitting prayer &lt;b&gt;with all your heart and all of your soul;&lt;/b&gt; then I shall bestow upon you these blessings: &lt;b&gt;I will give rain upon your land at the right times&lt;/b&gt;—when persons are not outdoors, as on Friday night. I shall send you &lt;b&gt;the early rain,&lt;/b&gt; which comes just after the seeds have been sown, &lt;b&gt;and also the late rain,&lt;/b&gt; which comes once the plants have sprouted, that they may flourish. &lt;b&gt;You will collect&lt;/b&gt; all of &lt;b&gt;your grain, wine, and oil,&lt;/b&gt; and your foes will seize none of it. &lt;b&gt;I will put&lt;/b&gt; abundant &lt;b&gt;grass in your fields,&lt;/b&gt; so you need not shift &lt;b&gt;your animals&lt;/b&gt; elsewhere to pasture them. You will be blessed with food, and moreover &lt;b&gt;you will eat&lt;/b&gt; it &lt;b&gt;and you will be satisfied&lt;/b&gt; by it.</english>

          <english>Yet &lt;b&gt;you should&lt;/b&gt; take great care and &lt;b&gt;guard yourselves,&lt;/b&gt; lest &lt;b&gt;your hearts&lt;/b&gt; grow &lt;b&gt;tempted&lt;/b&gt; to revolt against God, &lt;b&gt;and you turn away&lt;/b&gt; from His paths. Should this occur, &lt;b&gt;you will&lt;/b&gt; fall into idolatry and begin to &lt;b&gt;serve&lt;/b&gt; false &lt;b&gt;gods that are foreign&lt;/b&gt; to those who fashion them, for they bring them no aid,&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;b&gt;and you will&lt;/b&gt; unwisely &lt;b&gt;bow down to&lt;/b&gt; these false gods. &lt;b&gt;The Lord&apos;s anger will&lt;/b&gt; then &lt;b&gt;rage against you.&lt;/b&gt; God will shut the heavens, and rain will cease; the soil will not yield &lt;b&gt;its produce&lt;/b&gt;, since nothing will sprout. &lt;b&gt;You will quickly be destroyed,&lt;/b&gt; and you will be driven from &lt;b&gt;the good land&lt;/b&gt;—the Land of Israel—which the Lord grants to you.</english>

          <text>1 The term &quot;singular&quot; (or &quot;only&quot;) might seem a more appropriate description for God than &quot;one,&quot; which might imply that there are others beside Him. The Sages explain that each Hebrew letter of the word &quot;one,&quot; אחד, has a deeper meaning. The first letter, א, has the numerical value of one, corresponding to the One God. The second letter, ח, has the numerical value of eight, corresponding to the seven heavens and one earth. The third letter, ד, corresponds to the four directions—north, south, east, and west. Accordingly, the entire word אחד teaches us that God is united and one with the entire universe—the heavens and the earth, in all directions. Although His creations may appear to exist independent of Him; in reality, they are one and united with Him.</text>

          <text>2 Literally, &quot;And you will serve other gods.&quot; The term &quot;gods&quot; in this context alludes to any physical or worldly pursuits that are foreign and distract from one&apos;s Divine service. God warns us that if we allow these mundane pursuits to become an obsession or a form of worship, the holiness of the heavens will not &quot;rain&quot; down upon us.</text>
