Readings for Lent and Easter

³ The things which we have heard and known,
and which our fathers told us
⁴ we will not hide from their descendants;
we will tell the generation to come
the praises of Adonai and his strength,
the wonders that he has performed.

⁵ He raised up a testimony in Ya‘akov
and established a Torah in Isra’el.
He commanded our ancestors
to make this known to their children,
⁶ so that the next generation would know it,
the children not yet born,
who would themselves arise
and tell their own children,
⁷ who could then put their confidence in God,
not forgetting God’s deeds,
but obeying his mitzvot.
⁸ Then they would not be like their ancestors,
a stubborn, rebellious generation,
a generation with unprepared hearts,
with spirits unfaithful to God.
