20 “When your son asks you in the future, ‘What is the meaning(A) of the decrees, statutes, and ordinances that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ 21 tell him, ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.(B) 22 Before our eyes the Lord inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt,(C) on Pharaoh, and on all his household, 23 but he brought us from there in order to lead us in and give us the land that he swore to our ancestors. 24 The Lord commanded us to follow all these statutes and to fear the Lord our God for our prosperity always and for our preservation, as it is today. 25 Righteousness will be ours if we are careful to follow every one of these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’

20 “When your child[a] asks you in the future, saying,[b] ‘What is the meaning of the legal provisions and the rules and the regulations that Yahweh our God commanded for you?’ 21 Then you shall say to your child,[c] ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and Yahweh brought us out from Egypt with a strong hand. 22 And Yahweh gave great and awesome signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and against his entire household in our presence.[d] 23 But he brought us out from there in order to bring us here to give us the land that he swore to our ancestors.[e] 24 And so Yahweh commanded us to observe all of these rules and to revere Yahweh our God for our benefit[f] all the days that we live,[g] as it is today.[h] 25 And it shall be righteousness for us if we diligently observe and do all of this commandment before[i] Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.’
