Don’t Forget (Parentally), Pt. III
“Their children, who do not know this law [God’s commandments], must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” – Deuteronomy 31:13 “Take to heart all the words I [God] have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law.
