2 Chronicles 34:31

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
