  2. Deuteronomy 11:18-22

    • "Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.  And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:  That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHVH sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.  For if ye shall diligently 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;"

    • "Gather the people 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."

  3. 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."

  4. 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:"
