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.’

Deuteronomy 6:20-25
World English Bible

20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?” 21 then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 22 and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes; 23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. 24 Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today. 25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”
