/Tza•diq•ūtꞋ)B.C.E. 1st century — RabꞋi Hi•leilꞋ, when asked by a gentile to be converted while the RabꞋi stood on one foot, replied: "That which you eschew, don’t inflict on your fellow! That's the entirety of Tōr•âhꞋ. What remains is pei•rush•âhꞋ. Now, go-weave
South From Rᵊphid•imꞋ To Har Sin•aiꞋ
Look, I Myself am sending a ma•lᵊâkhꞋ before you, to watchguard you in the DërꞋëkh, to bring you to ha-Mâ•qōmꞋ, which I've prepared.
Watchguard his lead and hearken to his voice. Don't rebel against him for he will not bear felonies from you because My Name is within him. So, if you will hearken utterly to his voice, and do everything I've said, then I will be the Enemy of your enemy and Oppressor of your oppressor because My ma•lᵊâkhꞋ will lead you, bringing you toward the Ë•mor•iꞋ, the Khit•iꞋ, the Priz•iꞋ, the Kᵊna•an•iꞋ, the Khiv•iꞋ — and the Yᵊvus•iꞋ, whom [My ma•lᵊâkhꞋ] will entomb.
You shall not bow to their ël•oh•imꞋ, nor serve them; nor ta•a•sëhꞋ like their ma•a•sëhꞋ. Rather, you must utterly demolish them and utterly break down their obelisks.
Then you shall serve é‑‑ä your ël•oh•imꞋ and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from within you.
Optional parental preparation:
23.21, "My Name Is Within Him" – What does this mean? The Name is synonymous with His Tōr•âhꞋ – DërꞋëkh é‑‑ä. Essentially, to have The Name, é‑‑ä, within you means that the person's operating system – life study and practice – is Tōr•âhꞋ, as understood and interpreted by Mōsh•ëhꞋ at Har Sin•aiꞋ (vastly different in a host of respects from today's rabbinic interpretations that have come down to us from European assimilations after the destruction of the Beit ha-Mi•qᵊdâshꞋ ha-Shein•iꞋ during the Dark Ages). 
23.22, voice – Not capitaliized. Yet again, the principle of the prohibition against anthropomorphism (i.e. idolatry) precludes a physical bat kōl (supernatural "Voice" out of the heavens"). You should listen directly to that same Voice: DërꞋëkh é‑‑ä – i.e. Tōr•âhꞋ. You be a ma•lâkhꞋ é‑‑ä!!!
Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:
What does "watchguard" mean?
What does "hearken" mean?
What does the verb (& noun) "rebel" mean?
What's an "oppressor"?
