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

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 Then you shall say to your child, 'We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and Yahweh brought us out from Egypt with a strong hand.

22 And Yahweh gave great and awesome signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and against his entire household {in our presence}.

23 But [he] brought us out from there in order to bring us [here] to give us the land that he swore to our ancestors.

24 And [so] Yahweh commanded us to observe all [of] these rules [and] to revere Yahweh our God {for our benefit} {all the days that we live}, {as it is today}.

25 And it shall be righteousness for us if we diligently observe [and] do all [of] this commandment {before} Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.'
