When Jehovah gave the Law to Israel, he told the people that if they were obedient, they would become “a holy nation ” and that the nation could remain holy as long as they accepted Jehovah’s arrangement.
Kui Jehoova andis Iisraelile Seaduse, ütles ta rahvale, et kui see on sõnakuulelik, saab see „pühaks rahvaks ” ning jääb pühaks niikauaks, kui allub Jehoova korraldustele.
