'Children' in the Bible

Your wives, young children, and livestock may remain in the land Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But your fighting men must cross over in battle formation ahead of your brothers and help them

so that this will be a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’

and he said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’

you should tell your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’

There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read before the entire assembly of Israel, including the women, the little children, and the foreigners who were with them.
