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.
23. He brought us from there to bring us in and give us the land he had promised on oath to our ancestors.
24. The Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes in fear of the Lord, our God, that we may always have as good a life as we have today.
25. This is our justice before the Lord, our God: to observe carefully this whole commandment he has enjoined on us.”
