²⁶ And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?

¹⁴ And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for this? say to him, By the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the prison-house:

¹⁵ And when Pharaoh made his heart hard and would not let us go, the Lord sent death on all the first sons in Egypt, of man and of beast: and so every first male who comes to birth is offered to the Lord; but for all the first of my sons I give a price.

⁷ Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.

⁴ And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.

¹⁹ The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

⁴ One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.

³ Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

⁴ We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.

⁵ He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

⁶ So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

²¹ And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

²² Then give your children the story, and say, Israel came over this river Jordan on dry land.

²³ For the Lord your God made the waters of Jordan dry before you till you had gone across, as he did to the Red Sea, drying it up before us till we had gone across:

²⁴ So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the hand of the Lord is strong; and that they may go in fear of the Lord your God for ever.

⁶ So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

⁷ Then you will say to them, Because the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the Lord's agreement; when it went over Jordan the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones will be a sign for the children of Israel, keeping it in their memory for ever.

¹⁹ Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

⁷ Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.

²² The pillar of cloud went ever before them by day, and the pillar of fire by night.

⁸ And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

⁹ And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took you out of Egypt.

² And so that you may be able to give to your son and to your son's son the story of my wonders in Egypt, and the signs which I have done among them; so that you may see that I am the Lord.
