Contextual Overview

⁴ Listen, Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! ⁵ You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength. ⁶ These words I am commanding you today must be kept in mind, ⁷ and you must teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up. ⁸ You should tie them as a reminder on your forearm and fasten them as symbols on your forehead. ⁹ Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and gates. ¹⁰ Then when the Lord your God brings you to the land he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you—a land with large, fine cities you did not build, ¹¹ houses filled with choice things you did not accumulate, hewn out cisterns you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—and you eat your fill, ¹² be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, that place of slavery. ¹³ You must revere the Lord your God, serve him, and take oaths using only his name.

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?
