The words of Moses to the ancient Israelites well apply: “I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction; and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him. ”
Väga kohased on Moosese sõnad muistsetele iisraellastele: „Ma olen pannud su ette elu ja surma, õnnistuse ja needuse! Vali nüüd elu, et sina ja su sugu võiksite elada, armastades Jehoovat, oma Jumalat, kuulates tema häält ja hoidudes tema poole! ”.
