וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו זֹ֤את הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֠שְׁבַּעְתִּי לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם לְיִצְחָ֤ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹב֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לְזַרְעֲךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה הֶרְאִיתִ֣יךָ בְעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְשָׁ֖מָּה לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹֽר׃
At sinabi ng Walang-Hanggan sa kanya: “Ito ang lupaing ipinangako Ko nang may sumpa kina Abraham, Isaac, at Jacob, na sinasabi: ‘Sa iyong lahi ay ibibigay Ko ito.’ Ipinakita Ko ito sa iyo upang makita mo ng iyong sariling mga mata, ngunit hindi ka tatawid doon.”
Mishneh Torah, Torah Study
Whenceonward is his father obliged to teach him the Torah? When he commences to speak, he should teach him the Verses of, "Moses commanded us a law" (Deut. 34.4), and of the Shema (Ibid. 6.4); thereafter he imparts to him little by little other Verses till he be six or seven years old, all, of course, depending upon his physical condition; thereafter he brings him under the care of a beginner's instructor.8Sukkah, 43a; Ketubot, 50a. C. G.
