Deuteronomy 6:20-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

²¹ Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

²² And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

²³ And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

²⁴ And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

²⁵ And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
