“We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt, but the

brought signs and great, devastating wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on his whole family
before our very eyes.
6:23 He delivered us from there so that he could give us the land he had promised our ancestors.
6:24 The
Lord commanded us to obey all these statutes and to revere him
so that it may always go well for us and he may preserve us, as he has to this day.
6:25 We will be innocent if we carefully keep all these commandments
before the
Lord our God, just as he demands.”
