Moses recalled: “[Jehovah] came to find [Israel] in a wilderness land, and in an empty, howling desert. He began to encircle him, to take care of him, to safeguard him as the pupil of his eye. ”
Mooses meenutas: „Ta [Jehoova] leidis tema [Iisraeli] kõrbemaalt, tühjast paigast, uluvast kõrbest; ta võttis tema oma kaitse alla, hoolitses tema eest, ta hoidis teda nagu oma silmatera! ”.
