We have heard it with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

God, we have heard what you did. Those who came before us have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:

O God, we have heard it with our own ears— our ancestors have told us of all you did in their day, in days long ago:

God, we have heard with our ears— our ancestors have told us— the work you accomplished in their days, in days long ago:

God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, The deeds You did in their days, In days of old:

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

God, we have heard with our ears— our ancestors have told us— the work You accomplished in their days, in days long ago:

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,[ what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

Gideon said to him,“ Pardon me, but if the LORD is with us, why has such disaster overtaken us? Where are all his miraculous deeds our ancestors told us about? They said,‘ Did the LORD not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

In the future, when your son asks you‘ What is this?’ you are to tell him,‘ With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the land of slavery.When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to release us, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of people to the firstborn of animals. That is why I am sacrificing to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.’

As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!

What we have heard and learned– that which our ancestors have told us–we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.

“ I will explain to you; listen to me, and what I have seen, I will declare,what wise men declare, hiding nothing, from the tradition of their ancestors,to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.

“ For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

Tell your children about it, have your children tell their children, and their children the following generation.

Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations!Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds!

You must observe this event as an ordinance for you and for your children forever.When you enter the land that the LORD will give to you, just as he said, you must observe this ceremony.When your children ask you,‘ What does this ceremony mean to you?’–then you will say,‘ It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, when he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck Egypt and delivered our households.’” The people bowed down low to the ground,

They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.

The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.

This is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD,“ Waheb in Suphah and the wadis, the Arnonand the slope of the valleys that extends to the dwelling of Ar, and falls off at the border of Moab.”And from there they traveled to Beer; that is the well where the LORD spoke to Moses,“ Gather the people and I will give them water.”

That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“ Come to Heshbon, let it be built. Let the city of Sihon be established!For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has consumed Ar of Moab and the lords of the high places of Arnon.Woe to you, Moab. You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.We have overpowered them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”

Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength, and those coming after me about your power.

When your children ask you later on,“ What are the stipulations, statutes, and ordinances that the LORD our God commanded you?”
