These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Tanakh 18 verses
- 1 Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her seven pillars;
- 2 She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table.
- 3 She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, Upon the highest places of the city:
- 4 Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither’; As for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
- 5 Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
- 6 Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
