Deuteronomy 6
1.The end of the law is obedience
3.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
This statement serves as a reminder of Israel's past bondage and God's deliverance. It highlights the historical reality of Israel's slavery, which is corroborated by Egyptian records of Semitic peoples in Egypt. Theologically, it underscores human helplessness and the need for divine intervention. This bondage is a type of spiritual slavery to sin, from which Christ delivers believers (John 8:34-36).

but the LORD brought us out of Egypt
This phrase points to God's direct intervention in history. The Exodus is a foundational event for Israel, symbolizing salvation and liberation. It is frequently referenced throughout the Bible (e.g., Psalms, Prophets) as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness. The Exodus prefigures Christ's redemptive work, as He brings believers out of the bondage of sin.

with a mighty hand
This expression signifies God's power and sovereignty. The "mighty hand" refers to the miraculous signs and wonders performed during the Exodus, such as the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. It is a testament to God's ability to save and protect His people. This phrase is echoed in other scriptures (e.g.,Deuteronomy 4:34, 5:15) and is a reminder of God's strength in delivering His people, foreshadowing the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ.

Persons / Places / Events
1.Moses
The 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.The LORD (Yahweh)
The God of Israel, who delivered the Israelites from slavery with signs and wonders, demonstrating His power and faithfulness.

5.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 Deliverance
Just 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.

What Does Deuteronomy 6:21 Mean
then you are to tell him

Deuteronomy 6:21 opens with an instruction for parents to speak: “then you are to tell him…”. God expects every generation to pass the story on.

• The command is relational—conversation in the home, not a lecture hall (cf.Deuteronomy 6:6–7;Exodus 12:26–27).

• It safeguards memory: if children don’t hear it, they will forget (Judges 2:10).

• It invites testimony: parents recount God’s acts, children grow confident in God’s character (Psalm 78:4–7).

We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt

The next phrase grounds the story in literal history: Israel was once in bondage (Exodus 1:13–14).

• “Slaves” stresses utter helplessness—no political escape, no human savior (Leviticus 26:13).

• “We” makes the past personal; every Israelite, generations later, owns that slavery (cf.Joshua 24:17).

• The picture foreshadows humanity’s deeper slavery to sin (John 8:34;Romans 6:17), highlighting our need for rescue.

but the LORD brought us out of Egypt

Deliverance comes directly from the covenant-keeping LORD.

• God saw, heard, remembered, and acted (Exodus 2:23–25; 3:7–8).

• Salvation is entirely His initiative—no bargaining, no merit (Deuteronomy 5:15;Titus 3:5).

• The exodus shapes Israel’s identity: redeemed people now belong to the Redeemer (Exodus 19:4–6;1 Corinthians 6:19–20).

with a mighty hand

The manner of rescue matters: omnipotent power on display.

• Ten plagues, the Red Sea, cloud and fire—God overwhelms Egypt’s gods and armies (Exodus 6:6; 14:30-31).

• “Mighty hand” becomes shorthand for unstoppable strength (Deuteronomy 4:34;Jeremiah 32:21).

• That same power secures every later deliverance, climaxing in Christ’s resurrection (Ephesians 1:19–20;1 Peter 1:18–21).

summary

Deuteronomy 6:21 calls parents to retell the literal, historical exodus so children grasp three truths: we were helpless slaves, God personally intervened, and He did so with unrivaled power. Knowing this anchors faith, shapes identity, and assures every generation that the God who once delivered with a mighty hand still saves today.

(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. inExodus 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.
