Albert Barnes Commentary Deuteronomy 6:1

"Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;" — Deuteronomy 6:1 (ASV)

Moses proceeds to set forth more particularly and to enforce the cardinal and essential doctrines of the Decalogue, the nature and attributes of God, and the fitting mode of honoring and worshipping Him. Two objects are indicated (Deuteronomy 6:2–3), the glory of God and the welfare of man, as the grand aims that he has in view.
