19. to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.
20. When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord our God has commanded you mean?”
21. then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22. and the Lord showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23. and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24. 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 we are today.
25. It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.”
