The didactic framework becomes explicit: "He established a decency in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children." Here the transmission of both God's mighty works and God's commandments becomes a matter of covenant obligation; the generations are bound together by the command to teach. The term "decency" (edut) can mean testimony or law, suggesting that God's work in history and God's law are aspects of a unified revelation. The hierarchy of transmission—God commanded the ancestors to teach children—establishes divine authority at the foundation of the pedagogical chain.
