In Deuteronomy 6:6–7, the Torah commands Jews to recite "these words... and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." The "words" in question are Deuteronomy 6:4–9 (with the addition of a line taken from the Talmud, Pesachim 56a), Deuteronomy 11:13–21 and Numbers 15:37–41. These sets of verses are together called the Shema Yisrael, after the first words in Deuteronomy 6:4.

  • In Deuteronomy 6:6–7, the Torah commands Jews to recite "these words... and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." The "words" in question are Deuteronomy 6:4–9 (with the addition of a line taken from the Talmud, Pesachim 56a), Deuteronomy 11:13–21 and Numbers 15:37–41. These sets of verses are together called the Shema Yisrael, after the first words in Deuteronomy 6:4. As the Shema is the most important prayer in Judaism, it is the first subject discussed in the Mishnah. The Mishnah therefore begins with a discussion of what the Torah means when it says in Deuteronomy 6:7 "when thou liest down". Specifically, this phrase can mean either "when people are going to sleep" or "when people are already sleeping"; the various opinions in this mishnah reflect this ambiguity.
