"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?'

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

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.

Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

'Moreover, the LORD provided great and terrible signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household;

And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

He brought us out of there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.'

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

"So the LORD commanded us to follow all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our own good always and for our survival, as it is today.

And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

"And it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to follow all this commandment before the LORD our God, just as He commanded us.

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
