Moses, in this chapter, goes on with his charge to Israel, to be sure to keep up their religion in Canaan. It is much the same with Deuteronomy 4:1-40 Deuteronomy 4:1-40 I. His preface is a persuasive to obedience, Deuteronomy 6:1-3. II. He lays down the great principles of obedience. The first truth to be believed, That God is one, Deuteronomy 6:4. The first duty to be done, To love him with all our heart, Deuteronomy 6:5. III. He prescribes the means for keeping up religion, Deuteronomy 6:6-9. IV. He cautions them against those things which would be the ruin of religion--abuse of plenty (Deuteronomy 6:10-24), inclination to idolatry (Deuteronomy 6:14; Deuteronomy 6:15), and gives them some general precepts, Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 6:16-18. V. He directs them what instructions to give their children, Deuteronomy 6:20-25, &c.
