Psalms 78:5

He established a rule ¹  in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants, ² 

Ge 18:19; Ex 25:16,21; Ex 40:3,20; De 4:45; De 6:7; De 11:19; Ps 78:3,4; Ps 81:5; Ps 119:152; Ps 147:19; Isa 8:20; Isa 38:19; Ro 3:2; Eph 6:4; 1Jo 5:9-12

¹ tn The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to God’s command that the older generation teach their children about God’s mighty deeds in the nation’s history (see Exod 10:2; Deut 4:9; 6:20-25).

² tn Heb “which he commanded our fathers to make them known to their sons.” The plural suffix “them” probably refers back to the Lord’s mighty deeds (see vv. 3-4).
