Lexical notes
Verses 7-9 and 20-25: Structural bookends
These passages both discuss the need to teach the law to subsequent generations. These passages thus serve as structural bookends to the intervening verses which exhort complete devotion to God.
Verse 7
- Thou shalt teach . . . thy children. During the reign of the judges, the Israelites do not heed this advice and lose God's favor (cf. Judg 2:10).
