Deuteronomy 6:20-25
New American Standard Bible
20 “(A)When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What do the provisions and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God commanded you?’ 21 then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Moreover, the Lord provided great and terrible signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household; 23 He brought us out of there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.’ 24 So the Lord commanded us to [a]follow all these statutes, (B)to fear the Lord our God for our own good always and (C)for our survival, as it is today. 25 And (D)it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to [b]follow all this commandment before the Lord our God, just as He 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.’
