19 For I have ^pchosen¹ him, that he may command his children and his household after him to ^qkeep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”

14 And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, ^zthe Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’

7 ^wYou 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.

4 ^qFathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but ^rbring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
