Some of you are thinking about passing on your inheritance and legacy. Ah, my son is growing up, I wish I'll leave behind a huge inheritance so that he's prepared for life. I tell you what you need to leave behind for your kids. You need to leave behind a life of fearing God and keeping His commandments. That's the best thing you can leave for your children. That's what Moses said (referring to Deut 5:29).
And that's what Solomon says, fear God, keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man (Ecc 12:13). The word "duty" is an unfortunate addition by translators because in the original Hebrew, there is no "duty" there. It simply reads: "Fear God, keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man." In other words, this is not just your duty, it's also your delight. That's your direction, that's your destiny. It's joyful, it's good that you would learn to fear God.
