Deuteronomy 6

Moses exhorts Israel to fear YHWH, keep His commandments, and teach them diligently to their children, including the Shema declaring YHWH's oneness and the command to love Him fully; he warns against forgetting YHWH amid future prosperity in the land, idolatry, and tempting Him as at Massah.[1][2][3]
