LEV688 The call to love God is almost as pervasive in our ethical literature as the command to obey Him. And the love of God is regularly interpreted to mean the acceptance of a pattern of human relations conceived as a response to Divine love: [Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, I am the Lord." [This verse]. The affirmation of the unity of the Lord is followed up by the command to love Him with all one's heart, all one's soul, and all one's might. In turn, this command is spelled out to mean the education of children in the spirit, the molding of one's thought and action to accord with this purpose, and the inscription of this theme on the market places and courthouses of the community. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
