The Great Commandment:
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind. This is the great
and first commandment. And a second is like
it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments depend all the
Law and the Prophets.”

commanded you.
