But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Your forefathers: someone who lived a long time ago, your relatives God of the Amorites: false gods that many of Israel s neighbors worshiped Answer #2: Family members should enjoy one another.

Psalm 127:3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him. Heritage: a special gift Answer #3: Family members should talk to one another.

Sound learning: good teaching Tender: young and inexperienced Lay hold of: grab hold of Answer #4: I need to earn my parent s trust.
