Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

Within your house,

Your children like olive plants
Around your table.

God said to Moses, “

I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

“Their

descendants are established with them in their sight,

And their offspring before their eyes,

For you are our glory and joy.
