To the Israelites of long ago, Moses said: “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; for he is your life and the length of your days. ” ​ — Deuteronomy 30: 19, 20.
Muistsetele iisraellastele sõnas Mooses: „Vali nüüd elu, et sina ja su sugu võiksite elada, armastades Jehoovat, oma Jumalat, kuulates tema häält ja hoidudes tema poole! Sest see on su elu ja su päevade pikkus ”.
