Deuteronomy 6:8-22
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
8You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10"And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you — with great and good cities that you did not build,
11and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant — and when you eat and are full,
12then take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
13It is the Lord your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and by his name you shall swear.
14You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are around you —
15for the Lord your God in your midst is a jealous God — lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16"You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.
17You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of the good land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers
19by thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has promised.
20"When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’
21then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh 's slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes.
