Genesis 49:2

Come near, O sons of Jacob, and give ear to the words of Israel your father.

Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:

My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:

My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:

My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.

So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;

Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.

Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.
