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.
