Deuteronomy 32:7-9

This passage reminds me of Psalm 78. It shares 9 significant stems with verses 1-8.

 

אמר 1

אב 2

דור 3

עם 4

ספר 5

בן 6

ישראל 7

יהוה 8

יעקב 9

31 words are shared of a total of 103 words in the two passages.

We too are in the midst of many generations, fixing some prejudices, and inventing others, present or absent to the issues among nations that we see and hear about. One body emergent. All tied together -- whether we like it or not. 

What is our inheritance? How do we relate to the chosen share? Do we teach our children?
