“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the
testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has
commanded you?’ then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh's
slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
hand. And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against
Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes. And
he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the
land that he swore to give to our fathers. And the Lord commanded us to
do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’

I have this sculpture on a postcard, and it's so beautiful I can't bear to send it to anyone.
