blessing.
2. To confirm divine responsibility

soul, and with all your strength.
Deu 6:6 Never forget these commands that I am giving you today.
Deu 6:7 Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at
home and when you are away, when you are resting and
when you are working.
Deut 6:20 Someday your children will ask, "Why did the LORD
