Numbers 28 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, ““‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh’s Passover.” Numbers 28 opens with these words: “Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,” The line to keep is Numbers 28:2: ““Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, in their…” Carry the word “command” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Numbers 28:2: ““Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, in their due season.’” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
““Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, in their due season.’”
