Then beware lest thou forget the LORD which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt the house of bondage. But fear the LORD thy God and serve
him, and swear by his name, and see that ye walk not after strange gods
{goddes} off the gods of the nations which are about you. For the LORD
thy God is a jealous God among you, lest the wrath of the LORD thy God
wax hot upon thee and destroy thee from the earth. Ye shall not tempt
the LORD your God as ye did at Masa. But see that ye keep the
commandments of the LORD your God, his witnesses and his ordinances
which he hath commanded thee, and see thou do that which is right and
good in the sight of the LORD: that thou mayst prosper and that thou
mayst go and conquer that good land which the LORD sware unto thy
fathers, and that the LORD may cast out all thine enemies before thee
as he hath said. When thy son asketh thee in time to come saying: What
meaneth the witnesses, ordinances and laws which the LORD our God hath
commanded you? Then thou shalt say unto thy son: We were bondmen unto
Pharao in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
hand. And the LORD shewed signs and wonders both great and evil upon
Egypt, Pharao and upon all his household, before our eyes, and brought
us from thence: to bring us in and to give us the land which he sware
unto our fathers. And therefore commanded us to do all these ordinances
and for to fear the LORD our God, for our wealth always and that he
might save us, as it is come to pass this day. Moreover it shall be
righteousness unto us before the LORD our God, if we take heed to keep
all these commandments as he hath commanded us.
