In the ancient Israelite context, education was primarily the responsibility of the family, particularly the parents. The Hebrew culture placed a strong emphasis on oral tradition, ensuring that the laws and stories of God's faithfulness were preserved. This directive aligns with <a href="/proverbs/22-6.htm">Proverbs 22:6</a>, which advises to "train up a child in the way he should go." It underscores the role of parents as the primary spiritual educators, a principle that remains significant in Christian teachings today.<p><b>speaking about them when you sit at home</b><br>The home is depicted as the central place for teaching and discussing God's laws. In ancient Israel, homes were not just physical structures but the heart of family life and spiritual instruction. This phrase suggests that discussions about God's commandments should be a natural part of daily life, not confined to formal religious settings. It reflects the Shema's call in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-7.htm">Deuteronomy 6:7</a> to integrate God's words into everyday activities, reinforcing the idea that faith is lived out in all aspects of life.<p><b>and when you walk along the road</b><br>This phrase indicates that teaching should occur not only in the home but also during daily activities outside the home. In biblical times, walking was a common mode of transportation, and journeys provided opportunities for reflection and conversation. This instruction suggests that God's commandments should be a constant topic of discussion, regardless of location. It parallels the New Testament encouragement in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:17</a> to "pray without ceasing," implying a continuous engagement with God's presence and teachings.<p><b>when you lie down and when you get up</b><br>This phrase encompasses the entire day, from morning to night, indicating that the teaching of God's laws should be a continual process. The reference to lying down and getting up suggests a rhythm of life centered around God's word. It reflects the Jewish practice of reciting the Shema twice daily, a tradition that underscores the importance of beginning and ending the day with a focus on God. This practice can be seen as a precursor to the Christian discipline of daily devotions and prayer, emphasizing the need for constant spiritual mindfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, delivering God's commandments to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, receiving instructions on how to live in the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/children.htm">Children</a></b><br>The next generation of Israelites, who are to be taught God's commandments.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/d/daily_life.htm">Daily Life</a></b><br>The context in which the commandments are to be taught, encompassing all aspects of daily living.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_teaching.htm">The Importance of Teaching</a></b><br>Teaching God's commandments is a continuous, daily responsibility.<br><br>It is not limited to formal settings but integrated into everyday life.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holistic_approach_to_education.htm">Holistic Approach to Education</a></b><br>Education in God's ways should occur in various settings: at home, on the road, at bedtime, and upon waking.<br><br>This approach ensures that God's word is a constant presence in life.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/parental_responsibility.htm">Parental Responsibility</a></b><br>Parents are the primary educators of their children in spiritual matters.<br><br>This responsibility is a command from God, not merely a suggestion.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/generational_faithfulness.htm">Generational Faithfulness</a></b><br>Teaching children ensures the continuation of faith and obedience to God across generations.<br><br>It is a means of preserving the covenant relationship with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/practical_integration.htm">Practical Integration</a></b><br>Find ways to naturally incorporate discussions about God and His commandments into daily routines.<br><br>Use everyday experiences as teaching moments to illustrate God's principles.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_11.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 11</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_homeschooling.htm">What does the Bible say about Christian homeschooling?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_link_early_indoctrination_to_faith.htm">Why does early childhood indoctrination correlate with lifelong religious belief?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_biblical_family_priorities.htm">What are biblical family priorities?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_biblically_guide_children.htm">How should parents guide their children biblically?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/11-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Teach</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלִמַּדְתֶּ֥ם</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lim·maḏ·tem)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
