In this connection The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia states: “Through the father’s instruction in the home and his explanations of the significance of the festivals, the Hebrew children were taught how God had manifested Himself to them in the past, how they were to live in the present, and what God’s promises were regarding the future of His people. ”
Seoses sellega tõdeb teos The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: „Kuna isa lapsi kodus juhendas ja neile pühade tähtsust selgitas, õpetati heebrea lastele, kuidas Jumal oli end minevikus ilmutanud, kuidas nad pidid olevikus elama ja millised olid Jumala tõotused seoses oma rahva tulevikuga. ”
