keep all these commandments which I command you,
to do them, to love YHVH your God, to walk in all his
ways, and to cleave unto him;"

together, men, and women,
and children, and thy stranger
that is within thy gates,
that they may hear, and that they may learn,
and fear YHVH your God, and observe to do all the words
of this law: And that their children, which have not
known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear YHVH your
God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it."

Joshua 22:24-27
-
"And if we have not rather done
it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your
children might speak unto our children, saying, What
have ye to do with YHVH God of Israel? For YHVH hath
made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of
Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in YHVH: so
shall your children make our children cease from fearing
YHVH. Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us
an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and
our generations after us, that we might do the service
of YHVH before him with our burnt offerings, and with
our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;
that your children
may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no
part in YHVH."
-
Psalms 78:1-7
-
"Give ear, O my people, to my
law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will
open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of
old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers
have told us. We
will not hide them from their children, shewing to the
generation to come the praises of YHVH, and his
strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a
law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they
should make them known to their children: That the
generation to come might know them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and declare them
to their children: That they might set their hope in
God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his
commandments:"
-

Tell ye your children
of it, and let your children tell their children, and
their children another generation."
