Haustafel

== German == === Etymology === Haus +‎ Tafel. This term was first used in Martin Luther's commentary on family member duties as prescribed in scriptural passages such as Ephesians chapters 5 and 6. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhaʊ̯staːfl̩/ Hyphenation: Haus‧ta‧fel === Noun === Haustafel f (genitive Haustafel, plural Haustafeln) (Christianity) The proper domestic or household order in the Christian home. It implies the highly practical nature of the instructions: an individual's "haustafel duties" are not related to abstract beliefs they are expected to hold to, but rather to specific actions they are expected to perform. ==== Declension ====
