- Psalm 127:3-5 – “Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.”
- Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
- Deuteronomy 6:6-9 – “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
- Numbers 6:24-25 – “Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.”
