“My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:”
Proverbs 1:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:8
Father and mother both bear responsibility for covenant instruction, reflecting the family's role as primary discipleship context. The Hebrew imperative 'hear' demands active obedience, not passive listening. This anticipates Ephesians 6:1-4, where parental authority is delegated from God and exercised under His lordship.
