Exod.10 [2] And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

Exod.12[ 26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?[27 ] That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

Josh.4[ 6] That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come , saying, What mean ye by these stones?[7 ] Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

[
12] And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
[
13] And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

Lev.10[ 8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,[ 9] Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:[ 10] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;[11] And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

Deut.4 [1] Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

[9] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; [ 10] Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children .

[14] And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

Deut.5[ 31] But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

1Sam.12[ 23] Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

Ezra.7[ 10] For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.

[25] And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.

1Cor.12[ 28] And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Eph.4[ 11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[
13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
[
14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Col.1 [28] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teach ing every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Col.3[ 16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teach ing and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

[19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Deut.9[ 7] Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

2Kgs.17[ 38] And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget ; neither shall ye fear other gods.

Job.8[ 13] So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

Pss.50[ 16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?[17 ] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.[18] When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.[ 19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.[20 ] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.[21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.[22] Now consider this, ye that forget God , lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.[ 23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Pss.78[ 7] That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Pss.119

[16] I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

[83] For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

[93] I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

[109] My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

[141] I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

[153] Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

[176] I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Jer.2[32] Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

Jer.23[ 23] Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
[
24] Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
[
25] I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
[26] How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;[27] Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. בָּעַל
[28 ] The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
[
29] Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
[
30] Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
[31] Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
[32] Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams , saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
[
33] And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
[
34] And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
[
35] Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
[
36] And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
[
37] Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
[
38] But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
[39] Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
[40] And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Jas.1[ 24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forget teth what manner of man he was. [ 25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed .
