   they were from thirty months to three years old; and the day on
   which they were weaned was kept as a festival day gen. 21:8;
   ex. 2:7, 9; 1 sam. 1:22-24; matt. 21:16. at the age of five,
   children began to learn the arts and duties of life under the
   care of their fathers deut. 6:20-25; 11:19.
   
     to have a numerous family was regarded as a mark of divine
   favour gen. 11:30; 30:1; 1 sam. 2:5; 2 sam. 6:23; ps. 127:3;
   128:3.

   narrow-minded matt. 11:16; luke 7:32; 1 cor. 13:11. "when i
   was a child, i spake as a child." "brethren, be not children in
   understanding" 1 cor. 14:20. "that we henceforth be no more

child, children, domestic relations. a child is the son or daughter in 
relation to the father or mother. 
     2. we will here consider the law, in general terms, as it relates to 
the condition, duties, and rights of children; and, afterwards, the extent 
which has been given to the word child or children by dispositions in wills 
and testaments. 
     3.-1. children born in lawful wedlock, or within a competent time 
afterwards, are presumed to be the issue of the father, and follow his 
condition; those born out of lawful wedlock, follow the condition of the 
mother. the father is bound to maintain his children and to educate them, 
and to protect them from injuries. children are, on their part, bound to 
maintain their fathers and mothers, when in need, and they are of ability so 
to do. poth. du marriage, n. 384, 389. the father in general is entitled to 
the custody of minor children, but, under certain circumstances, the mother 
will be entitled to them, when the father and mother have separated. 5 binn. 
520. children are liable to the reasonable correction of their parents. vide 
correction 
     4.-2. the term children does not ordinarily and properly speaking 
comprehend grandchildren, or issue generally; yet sometimes that meaning is, 
affixed to it, in cases of necessity; 6 co. 16; and it has been held to 
signify the same as issue, in cases where the testator, by using the terms 
children and issue indiscriminately, showed his intention to use the former 
term in the sense of issue, so as to entitle grandchildren,  c., to take 
under it. 1 ves. sen. 196; ambl. 555; 3 ves. 258; ambl. 661; 3 ves.  bea. 
69. when legally construed, the term children is confined to legitimate 
children. 7 ves. 458. the civil code of louisiana, art. 2522, n. 14, enacts, 
that "under the, name of children are comprehended, not only children of the 
first degree, but the grandchildren, great-grand-children, and all other 
descendants in the direct line." 
     5. children are divided into legitimate children, or those born in 
lawful wedlock; and natural or illegitimate children, who are born bastards. 
q.v. vide natural children. illegitimate children are incestuous 
bastards, or those which are not incestuous. 
     6. posthumous children are those who are born after the death of their 
fathers. domat, lois civ. liv. prel. t. 2, s. 1, sec. 7 l. 3, sec. 1, ff de 
inj. rupt. 
     7. in pennsylvania, the will of their fathers, in, which no provision 
is made for them, is revoked, as far as regards them, by operation of law. 3 
binn. r. 498. see, as to the law of virginia on this subject, 3 munf. 20, 
and article in ventre sa mere. vide, generally, 8 vin. ab. 318; 8 com. dig.
