A Cord of Three Strands
“Make them known to your children and to your children’s children (Deuteronomy 4:9). The Ba’al HaTurim brings a tradition from Sefer HaTagin that in this phrase the letter nun is repeated three times and they are all written in a different form than is usual in order to emphasize that if one is a Torah scholar, and so is his son and grandson, then the Torah will be safeguarded and never depart from his descendants. This idea reminds us of the verse that states that a cord of three strands is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
