Deuteronomy 6:20-25
Modern English Version

20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 then you shall say to your son, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 And the Lord showed great and devastating signs and wonders upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household before our eyes. 23 He brought us out from there, so that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore to our fathers. 24 The Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us, as He has to this day. 25 It will be our righteousness if we are careful to keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, just as He has commanded us.”

Deuteronomy 6:20-25
Lexham English Bible

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.’
