Deuteronomy 6:18-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of Yahweh, so that it shall go well for you and so that you may go and you may take possession of the good land that Yahweh swore for your ancestors,

19. by driving out all of your enemies before you, just as Yahweh has promised.

20. “When your child asks you in the future, saying, ‘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, ‘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.

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.

24. And so Yahweh commanded us to observe all of these rules and to revere Yahweh our God for our benefit all the days that we live, as it is today.
