Psalms 78:3-6

³that we have heard before and reflected on; stories our forefathers passed down to us.

⁴We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God's marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.

⁵He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,

⁶so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.
