Remember What the Lord has Done

²⁰ “When your son asks you in the future, ‘What is the meaning of the instructions, decrees, and ordinances that the Lord our God commanded you?’ ²¹ tell him, ‘We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with great power. ²² Before our very eyes, the Lord did great and terrible signs and wonders in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to his entire household. ²³ But as for us, he brought us out from there to bring us into the land and give it to us, as he promised our ancestors. ²⁴ Then the Lord commanded us to observe all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God for our own good, so that he may keep us alive as we are today. ²⁵ It will be credited as^[a] righteousness for us if we’re careful to obey the entire Law in the presence of the Lord our God, as he commanded.’”
