^2 (A)that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, ^(B)and that your days may be prolonged.

⁶ “And ^(A)these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. ^7 (B)You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ^8 (C)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

⁹ Only take heed to yourself, and diligently ^(A)keep yourself, lest you ^(B)forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And ^(C)teach them to your children and your grandchildren, ¹⁰ especially concerning ^(D)the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’

¹⁸ “Therefore ^(A)you shall ^[a]lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your ^(B)soul, and ^(C)bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ^19 (D)You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ^20 (E)And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ that ^(F)your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like ^(G)the days of the heavens above the earth.

¹⁹ For I have known him, in order ^(A)that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

^26 (A)And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ ²⁷ that you shall say, ^(B)‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ ” So the people ^(C)bowed their heads and worshiped.

^14 (A)So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ^(B)‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that ^(C)the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’

⁴ And ^(A)you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but ^(B)bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
