And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?

And if later on your son should ask you, saying, What is this? Then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

that these may be to you continually for an appointed sign, that when your son asks you in the future, saying, What are these stones to us?

then you may explain to your son, saying, The River Jordan was dried up from before the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth, when it crossed over; and these stones shall be for a memorial for you for the children of Israel forever.

saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?

when the Lord our God had dried up the water of the Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we passed over.
