“Gather together and hear, you sons of Yaʽ
“Re’uḇ
Come, you children, listen to me; Let me teach you the fear of יהוה.
Who is the man who desires life, Who loves many days, in order to see good?
Listen to your father who brought you forth, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes watch my ways.
My son, listen to my wisdom; Incline your ear to my understanding,
My son, watch over your father’s command, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother.
My son, guard my words, And treasure up my commands with you.
And now, listen to me, you children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
“And now, listen to me, you children, For blessed are they who guard my ways.
“All of you, gather yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these? יהוה has loved him. Let him do His pleasure on Baḇ
