Deuteronomy 6:23 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:23

And he brought us out from thence
By means of those miraculous plagues, even out of a state of bondage and misery: and in order

that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our
fathers;
to bring them into the land of Canaan, give it to them, and put them in the possession of it; and so fulfil his promise and his oath made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 6:23 In-Context

21 tell your child, "We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt and God powerfully intervened and got us out of that country.
22 We stood there and watched as God delivered miracle-signs, great wonders, and evil-visitations on Egypt, on Pharaoh and his household.
23 He pulled us out of there so he could bring us here and give us the land he so solemnly promised to our ancestors.
24 That's why God commanded us to follow all these rules, so that we would live reverently before God, our God, as he gives us this good life, keeping us alive for a long time to come.
25 "It will be a set-right and put-together life for us if we make sure that we do this entire commandment in the Presence of God, our God, just as he commanded us to do."
