Earlier, Moses urged the Israelites: “After Jehovah your God you should walk, and him you should fear, and his commandments you should keep, and to his voice you should listen, and him you should serve, and to him you should cling. ”
Varem oli Mooses õhutanud iisraellasi: „Te peate käima Jehoova, oma Jumala järel, ja te peate teda kartma, pidama tema käske, kuulama tema häält, teenima teda ja hoidma tema poole! ”.
