12. be careful not to forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that house of slavery.
13. The Lord, your God, shall you fear; him shall you serve, and by his name shall you swear.
14. You shall not go after other gods, any of the gods of the surrounding peoples—
15. for the Lord, your God who is in your midst, is a passionate God—lest the anger of the Lord, your God, flare up against you and he destroy you from upon the land.
16. You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test, as you did at Massah.
17. But keep the commandments of the Lord, your God, and the decrees and the statutes he has commanded you.
18. Do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you, and you may enter in and possess the good land which the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors,
19. driving all your enemies out of your way, as the Lord has promised.
20. Later on, when your son asks you, “What do these decrees and statutes and ordinances mean?” which the Lord, our God, has enjoined on you,
21. you shall say to your son, “We were once slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand
22. and wrought before our eyes signs and wonders, great and dire, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and his whole house.
