Deuteronomy 11:18-21 Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside of you. Tie them
on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them
wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get
up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorpost and gates of your
cities so that you’ll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to
give your ancestors as long as there is sky over the earth. MSG

their children, so the next generation might know them—even the children not yet born—and
they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God,
not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands. NLT
