Telling the Next Generation

O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.  I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from of old-things we have heard and known, things our fathers have told us.  We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.  He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.  Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.  Psalm 78:1-7

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, and when you lie down and when you get up.  Deuteronomy 11:18,19

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip for your heart as long as you live.  Teach them to your children and to their children after them. Deuteronomy 4:9

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn form it.  Proverbs 22:6
