[Queen Esther]

You are my witnesses.—Isa. 43:10.

One way Israelite parents witnessed was by teaching their children about God’s dealings with their forefathers. For example, when being instructed to observe the Passover each year, the people were told: “When your sons ask you, ‘What does this observance mean to you?’ you must say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he plagued the Egyptians, but he spared our houses.’” (Ex. 12:26, 27) Those parents may also have explained to their children that when Moses first approached Egypt’s ruler to ask permission for the Israelites to worship Jehovah in the wilderness, Pharaoh replied: “Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice to send Israel away?” (Ex. 5:2) At the Red Sea, the answer to Pharaoh’s question became clear for all to see. Jehovah was—and is—the Almighty. Also, the Israelite nation became living witnesses that Jehovah is the true God and the Fulfiller of his promises. w14 7/15 3:5
