“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”
And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up; -- the law is to be taught to the next generation through daily, constant conversation. 'Diligently' (shanam, to sharpen/drill) suggests active repetition. The times listed (sitting, walking, lying, rising) cover the full day: the law permeates every moment.
