Bible Note: Doc, I don’t recall reading anything concerning what you pointed out. But, I don’t doubt it either. Having read some of Hillil, in some of my Jewish writings in my library, I noted he also declared sort of a paraphrase of Proverbs 22:6. He taught the Jews to make the Torah study a priority. His reasoning is Scripturally based. Not only do the parents benefit, but such instruction provides children with a priceless legacy that will serve them throughout their lives. It’s still good advise – as far as it goes. But Christ and His words take us deeper. Amen? In one of my Jewish prayer books those guys of old held so much wisdom of the character of God. T’oma |
