12. Then beware lest thou forget Hashem, which brought thee forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, from the bais avadim.
13. Thou shalt fear Hashem Eloheicha, and serve Him, and shalt swear by Shmo.
14. Ye shall not go after elohim acherim, of elohei ha'amim (the g-ds of the peoples) which are round about you;
15. (For Hashem Eloheicha is an El Kannah among you) lest the anger of Hashem Eloheicha be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of ha'adamah.
16. Ye shall not test Hashem Eloheichem, as ye tested Him in Massah.
17. Ye diligently shall be shomer mitzvot over the mitzvot Hashem Eloheichem and His edut, and His chukkim, which He hath commanded thee.
18. And thou shalt do that which is yashar (right, straight) and hatov in the eyes of Hashem; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess ha'aretz hatovah which Hashem swore unto Avotecha.
19. To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as Hashem hath spoken.
20. And when thy ben asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the edut, and the chukkim, and the mishpatim which Hashem Eloheinu hath commanded you?
21. Then thou shalt say unto thy ben, We were Pharaoh's avadim in Mitzrayim; and Hashem brought us out of Mitzrayim with a yad chazakah;
22. And Hashem showed otot and mofetim, great and terrible, upon Mitzrayim, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
23. And He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us ha'aretz which He promised on oath unto Avoteinu.
24. And Hashem commanded us to do all these chukkim, to fear Hashem Eloheinu, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at yom hazeh.
