Fathers were encouraged to spend time with their children on a regular basis, as is made evident by the Bible’s words at Deuteronomy 6: 6, 7, which say: “These words that I am commanding you today must prove to be on your heart; and you must inculcate them in your son and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. ”
فقد امرهم الله في التثنية ٦ :‏ ​ ٦ ،‏ ٧ ان يصرفوا الوقت بانتظام مع اولادهم ،‏ قائلا :‏ ‏ « لتكن هذه الكلمات التي انا اوصيك بها اليوم على قلبك ،‏ ولقِّنها بنيك ،‏ وتحدث بها حين تجلس في بيتك وحين تمشي في الطريق وحين تضطجع وحين تقوم » .‏
