¹⁹ For I have ^[a](A)chosen him, so that he may ^(B)command his children and his household after him to ^(C)keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham ^(D)what He has spoken about him.”

¹⁰ Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words ^(A)so they may learn to ^[a]fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may ^(B)teach their children.’

^7 (A)You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

²⁰ “^(A)When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God commanded you?’ ²¹ then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us from Egypt with a mighty hand. ²² Moreover, the Lord showed great and distressing signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh and all his household; ²³ He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.’ ²⁴ So the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, ^(B)to fear the Lord our God for our good always and ^(C)for our survival, as it is today. ^25 (D)It will be righteousness for us if we ^[a]are careful to observe all this commandment before the Lord our God, just as He commanded us.

^19 (A)You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.

⁴⁶ he said to them, “^(A)Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command ^(B)your sons to observe ^[a]carefully, even all the words of this law.

^4 (A)Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but ^(B)bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
