Deuteronomy 6:20-25

Exhortation to Remember the Past

6:20 When your children¹ ask you later on, “What are the stipulations, statutes, and ordinances that the Lord our God commanded you?” 6:21 you must say to them,² “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt in a powerful way.³ 6:22 And he⁴ brought signs and great, devastating wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on his whole family⁵ before our very eyes. 6:23 He delivered us from there so that he could give us the land he had promised our ancestors. 6:24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these statutes and to revere him⁶ so that it may always go well for us and he may preserve us, as he has to this day. 6:25 We will be innocent if we carefully keep all these commandments⁷ before the Lord our God, just as he demands.”⁸
