14. “Do not go after other mighty ones, the mighty ones of the peoples who are all around you,
15. for יהוה your Elohim is a jealous Ěl in your midst, lest the displeasure of יהוה your Elohim burn against you, then He shall destroy you from the face of the earth.
16. “Do not try יהוה your Elohim as you tried Him in Massah.
17. “Diligently guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim, and His witnesses, and His laws which He has commanded you.
18. “And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of יהוה, that it might be well with you, and you shall go in and possess the good land of which יהוה swore to your fathers,
19. to drive out all your enemies from before you, as יהוה has spoken.
20. “When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is the meaning of the witnesses, and the laws, and the right-rulings which יהוה our Elohim has commanded you?’
21. then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim with a strong hand,
22. and יהוה sent signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Mitsrayim, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes.
23. ‘And He brought us out from there, to bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers.
24. ‘And יהוה commanded us to do all these laws, to fear יהוה our Elohim, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today.
25. ‘And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’
