8. Bind them at your wrist as a sign and let them be as a pendant on your forehead.

11. with houses full of goods of all sorts that you did not garner, with cisterns that you did not dig, with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant; and when, therefore, you eat your fill,

11. with houses full of good things you have not provided, with wells you have not dug, with vineyards and olive trees you have not planted, and then, when you have eaten as much as you want,

12. take care not to forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.

14. You shall not follow other gods, such as those of the surrounding nations,

14. 'Do not follow other gods, gods of the peoples round you,

15. lest the wrath of the LORD, your God, flare up against you and he destroy you from the face of the land; for the LORD, your God, who is in your midst, is a jealous God.

15. for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God; the wrath of Yahweh your God would blaze out against you, and he would wipe you off the face of the earth.

16. "You shall not put the LORD, your God, to the test, as you did at Massah.

18. Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that you may, according to his word, prosper, and may enter in and possess the good land which the LORD promised on oath to your fathers,

18. and do what Yahweh regards as right and good, so that you may prosper and take possession of the fine country which Yahweh swore to give your ancestors,

19. thrusting all your enemies out of your way.

19. driving out your enemies before you; such was Yahweh's promise.

20. "Later on, when your son asks you what these ordinances, statutes and decrees mean which the LORD, our God, has enjoined on you,

20. 'In times to come, when your child asks you, "What is the meaning of these instructions, laws and customs which Yahweh our God has laid down for you?"

21. you shall say to your son, 'We were once slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand

21. you are to tell your child, "Once we were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt by his mighty hand.

22. and wrought before our eyes signs and wonders, great and dire, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and his whole house.

22. Before our eyes, Yahweh worked great and terrible signs and wonders against Egypt, against Pharaoh and his entire household.

23. He brought us from there to lead us into the land he promised on oath to our fathers, and to give it to us.

23. And he brought us out of there, to lead us into the country which he had sworn to our ancestors that he would give us.

24. Therefore, the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes in fear of the LORD, our God, that we may always have as prosperous and happy a life as we have today;

24. And Yahweh has commanded us to observe all these laws and to fear Yahweh our God, so as to be happy for ever and to survive, as we do to this day.

25. and our justice before the LORD, our God, is to consist in carefully observing all these commandments he has enjoined on us.'

25. For us, right living will mean this: to keep and observe all these commandments in obedience to Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us." '
