78:5He established a rule7 in Jacob;
he set up a law in Israel.
He commanded our ancestors
to make his deeds known to their descendants,8
78:6so that the next generation, children yet to be born,
might know about them.
They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.9
Footnotes
- 7 The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to God’s command that the older generation teach their children about God’s mighty deeds in the nation’s history (see Exod 10:2; Deut 4:9; 6:20–25).
- 8 Heb “which he commanded our fathers to make them known to their sons.” The plural suffix “them” probably refers back to the Lord’s mighty deeds (see vv. 3–4).
- 9 Heb “in order that they might know, a following generation, sons [who] will be born, they will arise and will tell to their sons.”
