“Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of all generations.

Ask your father, and he will inform you,

Your elders, and they will tell you.

Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’

And our fathers have told us.

One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
