Deuturonomy 6:5

And you shall love (be devoted to) the Lord (Yahweh) your God (Elohim)
with all your heart [in all your decisions – in your will, actions, and thoughts]
and with all your soul (with your whole living being)
and with all your strength (with all your power and burning zeal) [intensely as a fire].
[The confession begins with an imperative in the singular and is addressed to the whole people as a unit ("Hear, O Israel!"). In the Bible, individual responsibility is also linked to the collective group. Faith is born in each individual and is personal, but at the same time unites people. Even prayer that originates from each individual is strengthened when prayed together. Both blessings and curses affect the entire group, which is why the exhortation that follows concerns not only one's own heart, but also the united heart of the people, which includes children, see verses 6-7. See also Deut. 11:13–15.
The word for heart (Hebr. levav) describes the source of a person's inner life. It partly covers the meaning of the word for soul (Hebr. nefesh, whose meaning encompasses one's entire being, life, and personality). It is not only in our inner being, i.e., in our soul, thoughts, and will, that we are to love God, but also in our external relationships—in our interactions with other people. The word for power (Hebr. meód) is an adjective or adverb (great, more, extremely; to the highest degree; very much) which is used here as a noun. It can refer both to the power and ability we have been given, but also to the abundance and possessions we have been entrusted to manage. With the help of the rich nuances of these three words, Hebrew builds a whole picture of what it means to love God. The Gospel writers use several different Greek words to describe this, cf. Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27.]
