The end of the law is obedience3. An exhortation thereto 20. What they are to teach their children then you are to tell him This phrase emphasizes the importance of oral tradition and the responsibility of passing down faith and history to the next generation. In ancient Israel, teaching children about God's acts was crucial for maintaining covenant faithfulness. This aligns with the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), which stresses the importance of teaching God's commandments to children. “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites who delivered God's laws and commandments to the people. He is the speaker in Deuteronomy, reminding the Israelites of their history and covenant with God. 2. Pharaoh The ruler of Egypt who enslaved the Israelites. His hardened heart led to the plagues and the eventual Exodus of the Israelites. 3. Egypt The land where the Israelites were enslaved for 400 years. It symbolizes bondage and oppression in the biblical account. 4.

Exodus The event of God delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, a foundational moment in Israel's history that is commemorated in the Passover. Teaching Points Remembering God's DeliveranceJust as the Israelites were to remember their deliverance from Egypt, Christians are called to remember their deliverance from sin through Jesus Christ. This remembrance should inspire gratitude and obedience. Passing Down Faith The command to tell future generations about God's mighty acts underscores the importance of teaching children about God's faithfulness and works. Parents and guardians have a responsibility to instill biblical truths in their families. God's Mighty Hand The phrase "with a mighty hand" emphasizes God's power and sovereignty. Believers can trust in God's ability to deliver them from any form of bondage or difficulty they face. Identity in Christ Just as the Israelites' identity was shaped by their deliverance from Egypt, Christians' identity is rooted in their redemption through Christ. This identity should influence how they live and interact with the world. Faith and Obedience The Israelites' account is a reminder that faith in God's promises should lead to obedience. Believers are called to live out their faith through actions that reflect their trust in God.(21) The Lord brought us out of Egypt.--The simple explanation of the obligations of the Law given in these verses is based upon the message of Jehovah to Israel from Sinai. in Exodus 19:3-6 : "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how ? bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me." The keeping of the Law of Jehovah by Israel as a nation in the land that He gave them was the final cause of their national existence. This fundamental fact must never be forgotten. This alone would justify what had been done to Egypt. Hence the neglect of the Law must inevitably bring down the Divine vengeance.
