Teach them to your children and their children after them.Remember the day you stood at Mount Horeb. The Lord your God was there. He said to me,“ Bring the people to me to hear my words. I want them to learn to have respect for me as long as they live in the land. I want them to teach my words to their children.”

Psalms 78:2-9
I will open my mouth and tell a story. I will speak about things that were hidden. They happened a long time ago.We have heard about them and we know them. Our people who lived before us have told us about them.We won’t hide them from our children. We will tell them to those who live after us. We will tell them what the Lord has done that is worthy of praise. We will talk about his power and the wonderful things he has done.He gave laws to the people of Jacob. He gave Israel their law. He commanded our people who lived before us to teach his laws to their children.Then those born later would know his laws. Even their children yet to come would know them. And they in turn would tell their children.Then they would put their trust in God. They would not forget what he had done. They would obey his commands.They would not be like their people who lived long ago. Those people were stubborn. They refused to obey God. They turned away from him. Their spirits were not faithful to him.The soldiers of Ephraim were armed with bows. But they ran away on the day of battle.
