Each new generation was instructed in the laws of Jehovah and was obligated to keep them by virtue of the covenant that bound Israel to Jehovah. ​ — Deuteronomy 11: 18, 19.
Igale uuele põlvkonnale õpetati Jehoova seadusi ning nad olid kohustatud neid pidama, sest Iisrael oli seaduselepingu kaudu Jehoovaga seotud.
