Deuteronômio 6:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 21 Then shall thou say unto thy son
In order to lead him into the spring and original of them, and to acquaint him with the goodness of God, which laid them under obligation to observe them:

we were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt;
were brought into bondage and slavery to Pharaoh king of Egypt, into whose country their ancestors came, and where they resided many years, and at length were reduced to the utmost servitude and misery:

and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
by the exertion of his mighty power, which the Egyptians and their king could not withstand, as a token of his care and kindness to us; by the ties of which we are bound in gratitude to observe his commands. The Targum of Jonathan is,

``the Word of the Lord brought us''

and it was Christ the Son of God that was from first to last concerned in that affair, even from the appearance to Moses in the bush to Israel's coming out of Egypt.

Deuteronômio 6:21 In-Context

19 para que lance fora de diante de ti todos os teus inimigos, como disse o Senhor.
20 Quando teu filho te perguntar no futuro, dizendo: Que significam os testemunhos, estatutos e preceitos que o Senhor nosso Deus vos ordenou?
21 responderás a teu filho: Éramos servos de Faraó no Egito, porém o Senhor, com mão forte, nos tirou de lá;
22 e, aos nossos olhos, o Senhor fez sinais e maravilhas grandes e penosas contra o Egito, contra Faraó e contra toda a sua casa;
23 mas nos tirou de lá, para nos introduzir e nos dar a terra que com juramento prometera a nossos pais.
