If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “All the commandments that Yahweh your God has commanded you, you shall obey”
5:33 sc79 rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-goal לְמַ֤עַן 1 Here, **so that** marks the benefits of living a good, long life as the goal or purpose of obeying Yahweh. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: “in such a way that”

6:intro q4y8 0 # Deuteronomy 6 General Notes\n\n## Outline\n- vv. 1-9: The great commandment\n- vv. 6-25: Warnings against disobedience\n\n## Special Concepts in this Chapter\n\n### Yahweh’s blessings\nYahweh’s continued blessing of the people of Israel is dependent upon the people’s obedience to the law of Moses. When the Israelites agreed to the covenant with Yahweh, they agreed to worship and obey Yahweh in exchange for these blessings. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/bless]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])\n\n### The Shema\nVerses 6-9 are known as the Shema in Judaism. They are an important foundation of Judaism. In [Mark 12:28-29](Mrk/12/28.md), Jesus identifies the Shema as the greatest commandment.\n\n### Writing Yahweh’s Words on One’s Arms, Forehead, and Doorposts\n\n[Verses 8-9](../06/08.md) command the Israelites always to remember Yahweh’s words. There are different understandings of these commands. Some Jewish traditions interpret these verses as meaning the Israelites should physically write copies of the law. Others believe that the command is to memorize and cherish the law. Translators should be careful to translate the passage as it is, without favoring one interpretation or the other in their translation.\n\n## Other Translation Issues in this Chapter\n\n### Words for "the law"\n- statutes\n- ordinances\n- judgments\nMoses uses three different words to refer to the law that Yahweh commanded the Israelites to obey. It is unclear what distinguishes each of these terms from the others. If your language has several terms for the law, you could use them here to differentiate between the various Hebrew words. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])\n\n### “You”\n\nMoses is speaking to all the Israelites who are alive. Unless otherwise noted, the pronouns “you” and “your” are singular here. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-youcrowd]])

When the Israelites agreed to the covenant with Yahweh, they acknowledged that worshiping and obeying Yahweh would lead to blessings, while disobeying him and worshiping other gods would lead to curses.

6:1 kdbb rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis צִוָּ֛ה 1 Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete.

An Israelite might work as another Israelite’s slave to pay off debt. Instead of receiving pay, their wages would go toward their debt. The debtor would be their creditor’s property, and they could not work elsewhere. If the word “slave” would not accurately describe this practice in your culture, you could use a comparable term, such as “indentured servant” or “bondservant.” (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/other/servant]])\n\n## Other possible translation issues in this chapter\n\n### “You”\nEven though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, “you” and “your” are singular in this chapter. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-youcrowd]] and [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns]])

If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “in the land that he is giving to you”
15:5 e1uc rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical רַ֚ק אִם 1 Moses is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that Yahweh will only bless the Israelites if they obey him.

15:6 iv7c rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns וְ⁠אַתָּה֙ לֹ֣א תַעֲבֹ֔ט 1 For emphasis, Moses is stating the pronoun **you**, whose meaning is already included in the verb translated as **borrow**. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun **yourself**. Alternate translation: “and you indeed will not borrow”
15:6 p426 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy גּוֹיִ֣ם & & בְּ⁠גוֹיִ֣ם רַבִּ֔ים 1 Here, the word **nations** represents the people living in those nations.
