What does Deuteronomy 4:9 mean?
Only take heed to thyself
To walk according to this law, and not swerve from it:
and keep thy soul diligently;
from the transgressions and breaches of it:
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have
seen;
either the statutes and judgments set before them, and the
circumstances of the delivery of them; or the punishment
inflicted on the breakers of them; or the favours bestowed on
those that observed them:
and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy
life;
out of thy mind and memory, and have no place in thy affections,
through a neglect and disuse of them:
but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
their children and grandchildren, that they may be trained up in
them in their youth, and so not depart from them when grown up,
and in years; see ( Deuteronomy
6:7 ) .
