“That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:”
The purpose of this transmission is that the coming generation "might know them and rise up and tell them to their children," establishing a chain of transmission extending indefinitely into the future. This verse envisions not merely individual knowledge but active testimonial: each generation does not passively receive tradition but actively rises up to tell it to their descendants. The double iteration—"know them... tell them"—emphasizes both intellectual comprehension and active proclamation as essential components of covenant faithfulness.
