Contextual Overview

4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, - Yahweh alone. 5 Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, - with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might; 6 so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart; 7 and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up; 8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, - and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes; 9 and thou shalt write them upon the pests of thy house and within thy gates. 10 So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build; 11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, - and shalt eat and be full, 12 take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, - who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants. 13 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, - And by his name, shalt thou swear.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And these words, which I command thee this day,.... To hearken to, observe, and take notice of, that God is one, and is to be loved in the strongest manner that possibly can be:

shall be in thine heart; on the table of the heart, as the Targum of Jonathan; see 2 Corinthians 3:3, be cordially received, have a place in the affections of the heart, and be retained in mind and memory.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 6:6. Shall be in thine heart — For where else can love be? If it be not in the heart, it exists not. And if these words be not in the heart - if they are not esteemed, prized, and received as a high and most glorious privilege, what hope is there that this love shall ever reign there?
