He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
You shall teach them diligently to your children, 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.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known:
These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt,
The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.
To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.
You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel.
things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
Long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever.
And you shall put into the ark the testimony that I shall give you.
He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.
