Psalms 71:18
71:18 Even when I am old and gray,
O God, do not abandon me,
until I tell the next generation about your strength,
and those coming after me about your power.
Deuteronomy 11:19
11:19 Teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road,
as you lie down, and as you get up.
Joshua 4:6-7
4:6 The stones
will be a reminder to you.
When your children ask someday, ‘Why are these stones important to you?’
4:7 tell them how the water of the Jordan stopped flowing
before the ark of the covenant of the
Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the water of the Jordan stopped flowing.
These stones will be a lasting memorial for the Israelites.”
Joshua 4:21-24
4:21 He told the Israelites, “When your children someday ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones represent?’
4:22 explain
to your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan River
on dry ground.’
4:23 For the
Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you while you crossed over. It was just like when the
Lord your God dried up the Red Sea before us while we crossed it.
4:24 He has done this so
all the nations
of the earth might recognize the
Lord’s power
and so you might always obey
the
Lord your God.”
