He said: “Watch out for yourself that you may not forget Jehovah your God so as not to keep his commandments and his judicial decisions and his statutes that I am commanding you today; for fear that you may eat and indeed satisfy yourself, and you may build good houses and indeed dwell in them, and your herd and your flock may increase, and silver and gold may increase for you, and all that is yours may increase; and your heart may indeed be lifted up and you may indeed forget Jehovah your God. ” ​ — Deuteronomy 8: 11 - 14.
Ta lausus: „Hoia, et sa ei unusta Jehoovat, oma Jumalat, jättes pidamata tema käsud, kohtuseadused ja seadlused, mis ma täna sulle annan, et kui sa sööd ja su kõht saab täis, ja sa ehitad ilusad kojad ning elad neis, kui su veised ja pudulojused sigivad, su hõbe ja kuld rohkeneb ja kõik, mis sul on, kasvab, et su süda siis ei lähe suureliseks ja sa ei unusta Jehoovat, oma Jumalat ”.
