Deuteronomy 6:20

"When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, what mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you? then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes; and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day. And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us."

"The salvation history of Israel and her law are thus intimately connected. The latter is the response to the former, for its observance insures that God's grace shown in the deliverance from Egypt will continue to be exercised in Israel's favor."[29] Some scholars have tried to find the formulation in this paragraph of an "ancient creed," but Phillips dismissed such a thought thus: "This passage is not to be understood as a formal creed, but rather as a simple explanation as to how Israel acquired possession of the land of Canaan."[30] We might add that there has never been any other reasonable explanation of the phenomenon called Israel and the Promised Land! Only the facts related in the Five Books of Moses can explain the phenomenon visible this very day in the matter of secular Israel's passionate and emotional certainty of their right to Palestine, a conviction that they hold quite unreasonably, especially in view of their rejection of Christ, but nevertheless a reality, a reality that can be explained only by the truth of these five books of Moses.
