Deuteronomy 6:20-25

These verses return to a favourite theme of Deut.: the close relation between Jehovah's Laws and His Deeds. When a future generation shall ask the meaning of the Laws it shall be referred to the Lord's deliverance of the nation from bondage in Egypt and His conduct of them to the land He promised. Having thus made them a nation, He would now preserve them as such by the Laws which He commands. These vv., throughout in the Sg., expand Deuteronomy 6:7 a, and contain nothing which leads us to doubt their originality. See on Deuteronomy 6:24.
